Guide #28846
Greetings from Greece! My name is Nektarios and I am a local at the city of Athens. I speak Greek and English fluently and I have been working as a licensed taxi driver and tour guide for the past 18 years. I chose this profession because I have always liked cars and driving in general. I am also a car engineer graduate and I work part time as a high school professor. This has given me the chance always be aware of my vehicles and be able to understand and overcome any situation. My current vehicle is a Mercedes E class. I believe that one word that would perfectly describe my personality is passionate. Passionate about my country. Passionate about my work. Passionate to adapt and try to do the best I can. I have always loved Greece and especially its rich history and culture. In fact, I can hardly think of a time that I did not want to open another history or mythology book in order to further extend my knowledge. Seven years ago I gave my first tour around Athens and so I had my first chance to try to pass my passion to others. I've loved it ever since. After that I have been working hard gathering pictures, videos and additional information to provide my customers with. Finding various local restaurants for them to try the famous Greek traditional cuisine and small out-of-the-way places that attract way less travellers and provide them with unique experiences. I am also one of the few Private Drivers in Athens who has passed and been issued with a Greek Certification Diploma from 2007 as a certified driver-guide by EOT (Greek National Tourism Organization), Everything I do is for my customer's satisfaction, happiness and entertainment. It would be an honour to continue this with you. Together we will uncover the rich History and uniqueness of Greece while having fun in the process. I look forward to meeting you. Private tour guide for the last seven years. Degree in mechanical engineering. I am a mechanical engineering professor for vocational high schools. History expert & professional taxi driver. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments and museums.

Amazing! We had such a wonderful time and learned so much. Vehicle was great and Nick did such a wonderful job of adapting to our desires. Had about an hour and a half of rain and we were provided umbrellas and the tour was modified to accommodate. Great overview of the city that kept us asking questions interjected with a lot of laughter thanks to Nick’s wonderful...
The tour was excellent with Neftarious being an almost unlimited source of information about Greek history and the various areas we were driving through. A beautiful seaside lunch on our way back completed an outstanding day of Greek culture and history.
Perfect day tour for my wife and I to see the Athens highlights before we flew home.
