Hello everybody!

My name is Nikos Chatziioannou. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki and this is where I make a living as a professional licensed tourist guide.

I have studied History & Archaeology at the University of Ioannina and I have an MA in History from Thessaloniki’s International University but, even though I have a strong background in history and archaeology, I strongly believe that a guided tour should not be just facts and dates. It should also be about the place itself: the people, the anecdotes, the stories that do not fit into history books. So, hopefully, together we are going to not only explore the history and the sights of this magnificent place but also feel the beating heart of the city.

I have been providing tours professionally in Thessaloniki and all over Greece for a few years now, but every time feels like a fresh start. There is nothing like being outside, in the open air, with good company and showing the place you love, sharing the details and secrets that make it special. And if I can show you why this place is special to me, then it will become special to you too!

I have a few tours planned but, please, do not hesitate to ask me about anything you might want anywhere in northern Greece or even all over the country. Share your idea and together we are going to create a brand new experience!

I hope I will have the chance to meet you and show you around but, if not, enjoy Thessaloniki, enjoy Macedonia, enjoy this amazing place!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were a group of four and we had an amazing guided tour with Nikos in Vergina.
We first visited the royal tombs and then the museum.
Nikos was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. With his help we emerged in the world of antique Greece and got the full vibe of the era of Philipp the 2nd.
We would definitely recommend Nikos to fellow travelers and would like to book a tour with him any time soon.
Thank you Nikos.

He took us on a full tour of the ruins at Philippi which were extraordinary, a stop at the Baptistry of Lydia, then he took us to a delicious Greek lunch in a charming restaurant in Kavala. Finally we went on a city tour of Thessaloniki. The driver Nikos chose was efficient and safe, and the minivan was clean and in very good condition. We were timely picked up at the port and timely returned. The overall tour was exactly as I requested. I cannot recommend Nikos highly enough.

He hit all the highlights and recommended and arranged a fabulous lunch for us at the end. Highly recommend Nikos!

He and his driver were waiting for us at the port in Thessaloniki when we left our cruise ship. We did his Alexander the Great tour, where we got to visit Pella and Vergina.
Do yourself a favor, if you’re going on a cruise, don’t book tours through the cruise line. We did two tours through our cruise line and they were terribly boring. The tour guides sounded like they were reading a script. Lesson learned—I will always book a private guide from now on.
I’m wish Nikos could have been our guide on every tour!

Nikos a été très arrangeant, rapide et efficace dans la communication, c'est très appréciable. Pendant le tour, nous avons été régalé et clairement, on avait plus faim après !
En plus de la nourriture, on a appris énormément de choses sur la ville, c'était vraiment formidable. Merci encore, on recommande vivement !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Twice now Nikos has lead excellent tours for me. The first was a deep dive into the Churches of Thessaloniki. I gave him a few thoughts on what interested me, and he well exceeded what I had in mind. And, it rained all day but that didn’t slow Nikos! Second time he guided my family in and around Meteora. Highly recommend him for any size group, big or small, Nikos will show you the heart of Greece!
