Educational, Amazing, and Unique!
"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! "

Fantastic Tour Experience with Alexandros!
"Our recent food tour experience in Thessaloniki, Greece, led by Alex, was a wonderful experience! My husband and I were on a trip to celebrate my birthday and decided we wanted a local guide to show us around. From the moment we started on the tour, it was clear that Alex was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city. One of the highlights of the tour was tasting the local pastries and coffees. Alex's insights into the history and significance of the food, how the coffee was prepared, and why it was done that way added an extra layer of appreciation. The olive oil tasting was another standout moment of the tour. The girl leading the tasting was a real pro. She helped us learned the art of properly tasting olive oil while she and Alex shared stories and knowledge with us. Throughout the tour, Alex's wealth of knowledge about the city's history, culture, and food shone through. However, what truly set this tour apart was Alex's genuine warmth and hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only sampled some wonderful local foods but also immersed ourselves in the vibrant spirit of the city. His enthusiasm was infectious, making the entire experience all the more enjoyable. In conclusion, our food tour experience in Thessaloniki with Alex was nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the culinary treasures of this enchanting city. Thank you, Alex, for an unforgettable journey through the flavors of Thessaloniki! "

The Professor
"Alex covered so much ground in the history of the city--no easy task. The complexities and fascinations of how Thessaloniki developed and thrived and truly is the gem of Greece were made so clear. Like a professor, he was armed with pictures and a notebook! We would not have been able to appreciate so much without Alex. "

Excellent guide & food tour
"Alexandros curated an excellent tour of the local quality foods in Thessaloniki. We sampled a range of delicacies in different settings within the city. Alexandros was an excellent and knowledgeable guide whose enthusiasm about his city and its food culture proved very engaging. Greatly appreciated was the historical narration that evolved with our own interests. We thoroughly recommend the tour and his guidance."
