Roads full of monuments. Monuments full of stories about emperors, gods and mortals, wars and disasters, victories and feasts. A city of many faces - sometimes with a friendly smile, sometimes with an introvert frown, and some other times with an awkward pose as she stands in front of her historical significance and glorious 23-century past.
In this unique, alternative walking tour, we discover every period of the city’s history - from Roman times to present day - through a kaleidoscope of monuments and landmarks that mark the ever-present timeline of a multicultural metropolis.

5.00Vasiliki and her tour partner at Dot 2 Dot- hands down- have the vibe on the city not only as contemporary women, but as accomplished scholars! She makes it thoughtful and fun at the same time, while accommodating your own ADD if you want to look at something and veer off. The price is worth it. Their education is worth it. You make a lifelong friend. I can't say enough about what I learned regarding all the occupations, the sites, the flavor the texture the everything of Thessaloniki! You have friends now in Colorado, Vasiliki!!! Xoxo (we know you are royalty!).

5.00The storytelling, and photographs bought the history alive and meant we gained a real appreciation of just some of the history of this important city. Vassalekey was outstanding and included just the right amount of info for us to absorb and process. What a delight she was, her passion, knowledge and pace of the tour means we left feeling really pleased we had booked this tour.
Excellent guide and experience

5.00Deniz was very professional and full of interesting stories. Of course he was very knowledgeable about the sites we had planned to visit but was also very interesting to talk to about general culture and in particular about fine rugs from the area. Definitely a memorable tour!
An experience to remember!

5.00Our guides were great. I would highly recommend them. We spent a full 3 hours learning of the history of Thessaloniki from 400 BC through the present day. Their ability to speak English was pretty good. We probably walked about 3 kilometers total and sat down several times while they spoke.
A must have experience when you visit this beautiful town with all the history it holds

5.00This was an exceptionally good tour led by Daphne who has a degree in archeology and was extremely knowledgeable. We have done a lot of these tours around the world and we both agreed this was the best one we have done. It was well thought out and immersive in ways tours tend not to be. On the tour we revisited a couple of sites my husband I had had previously been to but Daphne was able to point out so many things we had overlooked or not fully understood. This tour is a must for visitors who wish to appreciate the city’s fascinating history and sites. Highly recommended.
