Come walk through Thessaloniki with me and experience the city through stories, local legends, everyday moments, and the atmosphere of the streets today.

This is a relaxed storytelling experience focused on local culture, urban myths, traditions, and personal perspectives connected to the city.

Great Tour with Irene

I had a great time discovering wonderful Thessaloniki with Irene. She explained a lot about the city, from it's mythological origin to the nowadays insights passing by all the greek Roman and bizantine background. In addition she gave me lots of advices about places to see , food and so on... Thanks a lot for the experience !!

It was fun and interesting Tour!

Cecil ist unglaublich sympathisch, authentisch und mit so viel Herz dabei. Sie hat die Tour in Form eines kleinen Spiels gestaltet, wodurch alles interaktiv und abwechslungsreich war. Es hat sich eher angefühlt, als würde man mit Freunden die Stadt erkunden, statt an einer gewöhnlichen Tour teilzunehmen. Ich kann die Tour wirklich jedem empfehlen! Wenn ihr die Möglichkeit habt, eine Tour mit Cecil zu machen, nutzt sie unbedingt. Sie war einfach fantastisch!

Good introduction to Thessaloniki

Irene was a good guide to Thessaloniki and provided a lot of background and useful information on the city. The list of recommendations of things to try and places to eat was especially useful.

Very nice Introduction to Thessaloniki

Our guide was very sweet and told us a lot about the historical meaning of the city, but also about daily life and nice spots to visit. We were really happy and she made us feel totally comfortable! I would recommend the tour for the beginning of a trip, because it covers the main spots, so you can dive in later if you're interested :)
