Experience City Tours in Thessaloniki with Withlocals

"We absolutely loved touring Highlights and Hidden Gems in Thessaloniki with Alexandros. He is an excellent guide providing insight into the history of Thessaloniki. Time flew right by as we visited monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the markets and their historical significance, restaurants and food ideas. We enjoyed every minute and we’re grateful to Alex for the beautiful introduction to his city."

"We booked two different tours with Alex, both with a little bit different of intention to them. Alex was extremely flexible in making sure we got the most of our time with him and seeing exactly what we wanted."

"Having Alex guide us around the city felt like being led around by a new friend. We had great conversations with him while learning a ton about the city!"

"Alex is a very professional and great guide. He customizes your trip to your wishes. We were already in Thessaloniki a year before, but we did not really like the city at that time. Alex showed us true hidden gems of Thessaloniki: beautyfull churches, excravations and more. He explained the history of Thessaloniki, starting with Alexander the Great. After this trip, we loved Thessaloniki! We highly recommend Alex for your trip! "

"Alex was a wonderful host. I booked a private tour with him; and he easily adapted his visit to my interests. I was really interested in history so we focused on the monuments, but Alex also has much to share about local culture, food, and wine as well. If I had more time, I would certainly do one of the culinary tours he offers. Alex is warm, friendly and a wonderful guide for any adventure in Thessaloniki! "

"The tour was very fun but at the same time we learned a lot about the city. Alexandros was very polite, knowledgable and fun to speak to. He showed us all the best spots and as we asked to see the markets, he tailored the tour so we could do that. At the markets we tried some food and the best olives from this area. We would recommend the tour to everyone."

"We really enjoyed our morning with Alexandros! His enthusiasm for this beautiful city is infectious, and he shared with us its fascinating history, whilst showing us some of the most important sites and some hidden ones that we would never have found. And some delicious food on our way too. "

"Alex provided a great overview of Thessaloniki's complex history. With our limited time in port, we were able to gain an understanding of this fascinating city. He even took us to the perfect place to enjoy some delicious baklava and greek coffee. He was friendly and engaging throughout our tour and responsive to our interests and questions. "

"We did a walking tour with Alex in Thessaloniki. We were immediately impressed with Alex’s friendliness and warm personality. He was a wonderful guide! He was deeply knowledgeable and was able to focus around areas of specific interest to us. The ability to tailor the tour accordingly shows the broadness of his experience and deep familiarity with the city. We plan to come back and Alex will be our guide again!"

"Our recent historical tour experience in Thessaloniki, Greece, led by Alex, was a fantastic experience! My husband and I were on a trip to celebrate my birthday and decided we wanted a local guide to show us around. This was our third day in the country and our second tour with Alexandros. After the previous tour, we knew we were going to have another wonderful day! We saw more of the city than we ever would have seen on our own. We learned so much about the history of Thessaloniki. Alex never skipped over a single detail and was quick to answer any questions we had. I don’t think we could have come up with any questions that he wouldn’t have had the answer to. We were fortunate to be there on Easter weekend. Alexandros made sure to teach us about the unique traditions and history involved in Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations. He showed us where to experience the beautiful ceremony they have at midnight before Easter Sunday. I was able to share that experience with my 95-year-old grandma through a video call. It was deeply moving and something we never would have experienced if not for Alex’s guidance. Throughout the tour, Alex's wealth of knowledge about the city's history and culture was incredible. However, what truly set these tours apart was Alex's genuine warmth and hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only learned about the history, but truly discovered the spirit and kindness of the people of Thessaloniki. His enthusiasm was infectious, making the entire experience all the more enjoyable. In conclusion, our tour experiences in Thessaloniki with Alex were nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend Alex as a guide to anyone looking to explore the historical and culinary treasures of this enchanting city. Thank you, Alex, for an unforgettable journey through Thessaloniki! "
