"Whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey. " (Rumi, 13th century AD) Hello dear travellers. I am Dimitrios. I was born in Thessaloniki and grew up in the city. I studied in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and graduated with a BA in History and Archaeology. I left for London, UK where I lived for six years. I never stopped missing home, so I decided to return. Apart from guiding, I am a doctoral candidate in the Aristotle University in History and Moral Philosophy. I sing and have a deep connection with music and I truly love animals. I am a faithful lover of history and philosophy and thus decided to share my passion with travellers and become a tourist guide. I haven't looked back since. It is a job in which I feel I have found my true self. I am based in Thessaloniki, but I deliver tours all around Northern Greece, thematically and spatially diverse. I strongly believe that guides are cultural ambassadors of their land and as such they are tasked with providing an, above all, authentic outlook into the world they originate from. This is my main principle when providing tours. I am licensed to guide throughout Greece, but I am very much in love, for life, with Thessaloniki and the region of Macedonia. Thessaloniki and the wider geographical region of Macedonia have so much to offer to a traveller and have indeed managed to maintain much of their originality. I cordially invite you to book a tour to experience northern Greece in the fullest or get in touch so we can create your one-of-a-kind tour together. - BA in History & Archaeology-Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. - Licensed & Qualified Tourist Guide-Alumnus of the 2-year School of Tourist Guides of Thessaloniki of the Greek Ministry of Tourism. - Master's Degree (MSc)-SOAS, University of London. - Master's Degree (MA)-King's College London. - PhD candidate in History and Moral Philosophy in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. No restrictions.

We had a great time on our Kavala tour with Dimitrios! We visited Philipi and Lydia's Baptistry as well as the port area of Kavala including the road the Apostle Paul traveled on while in this area of the world! Dimitrios was so helpful with my 80 year old mom as we navigated the ancient sites. He answered all of our questions and was a wealth of information! We even...
Our tour with Dimitrios was absolutely the highlight of our visit to Thessaloniki. He is smart, funny, kind, and so very knowledgeable about this city and its history. In retrospect we should have booked the 5 hour tour rather than the 3, and if we had more days here, I would hire him again. I cannot recommend him highly enough - 5*
Demetrios is an exceptional guide - a true gem. Over two full days he led us through the historic heart of Thessaloniki — Aristotle Square, the markets, the Arch of Galerius, the Basilica of Hagios Demetrios, the Ano Poli, and up to the Heptapyrgion citadel, just to name a few — bringing each site to life with real depth. One of his great gifts is untangling the layers...
