“Fast paced tour with lots of good information and history”
I really enjoyed this tour from Konstantinos. He's very fast paced, but he's often looking back to make sure the group is following, making eye contact with us, and pointing out each turn. He's available by WhatsApp as well, and ended the tour sending us a well thought out and detailed email about Thessaloniki and what he mentioned during the tour. Highly recommended to do as soon as you arrive so you can learn a lot about the city.

“Excellent, informative tour”
Konstantinos is a skilled guide: knowledgeable, articulate and engaging. We were the only two participants on this tour but over 2hrs 15 we never felt odd in his company or that he wasn’t interested. It went quickly. Don’t rely on his restaurant recommendations… (the one we followed in the town centre was second rate at best). But the tour was great. Thanks

“Dive into History: A Relaxed yet Fascinating Walking Tour of The”
Our guide was a true connoisseur of the city, sharing stories and facts in a calm yet engaging manner. As a result, the two-hour tour flew by without any rush or pressure. We were particularly intrigued to learn that our guide had participated in archaeological excavations at one of the sites included in the tour, which added a special significance and liveliness to his narratives.
We were very satisfied with the tour and would gladly recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn more about the rich history of Thessaloniki.
Thank you for a wonderful time!

“Amazing tour, exceptional attention to detail, and sensitivity t”
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, covered a lot of ground in 2 hours, and had great communication skills. The past came alive and one could visualize the generations that lived in Saloniki before, Saloniki, the city of ghosts.

Big thanks to Konstantinos for the amazing tour. We have learned something about all the eras Thessaloniki went through and seen all the important sights from the perspective of a skilled engineer who is very knowledgeable in history and archaeology and really seems to love his city. If you are thinking about doing this tour, do it and you won't regret.

“Great tour”
I really enjoyed the tour with Konstantinos. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the Greek and city history. He always wanted to share more and the tour lasted even longer then planned because of it, but I appreciate his enthusiasm and great organization. Totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Thessaloniki, as you will see some unique places you probably wouldn't discover on your own.

The tour started at 16 and it took more than 2 hours, we left the team a bit earlier because our kid but we enjoyed all the time and Konstantinos is a very nice guy and full with patients and took care of each person. We learnt a lot of knowledge from the tour which u will not find in the tourist book. The local people are very nice and relax, we love the Thessaroniki and hopefully we would come back in summer again for the ocean.

“Thessaloniki from the view of an engineer ????”
A different type of tour for those that are interested in knowing the facts of the area. Full of dates and facts and details.
More in depth than a surface level “welcome to the city” tour.
Many recommendations for places to go and drink or eat
