"Nikos was a fantastic guide! He interacted wonderfully with our whole family and made the tour interesting and enjoyable for everyone. We had arrived by plane earlier that day and were all quite tired, yet he kept us completely engaged. The best proof of how good he was is that the kids remembered everything he had told them afterwards! We highly recommend this tour with Nikos."

Fascinating and insightful
"Nikos was excellent on our 3 hour history of Thessaloniki tour. Excellent English. Very knowledgeable. Happy to discuss our questions, constantly imparting information. Starting in the heights of the upper town was well worth it, and meant the tour was constantly downhill. Nikos painted a fascinating picture of the complex woven history of the city and how this links to European history and beyond. "

Kind and knowledgeable guide
"We greatly enjoyed our time with Nikos. He did a fantastic job connecting with our 9 year olds and ensuring they also understood the history of the places they were seeing. They left with this being their favorite day in all of Greece.
Nikos treated us like family, taking us to a nice restaurant and encouraging us to try local delicacies. There was nothing “touristy” about it.
Highly recommend booking a tour with him. "

Jewish tour of Thessaloniki with Dimitrios
"4 of us booked a 2.5 hour walking tour of Jewish Thessaloniki with Dimitrios 2 days ago. He is massively knowledgeable about the history of the town and we really enjoyed his tour. He even sent us locations to visit after our tour on the drive back! I would highly recommend Dimitrios for an informative and relaxed tour. His English is impeccable."

Off the beaten track
"Hara was warm, knowledgable and passionate about food and cultural history. We absolutely loved this experience from food and wine sampling, meeting the market stall specialists - particularly olives, olive oil, herbs and spices and understanding production and taste differences. We just loved the out of the way restaurants and wine bars with local delicacies all the while being entertained with Hara’s stories and facts. "
