Hello from Greece, My name is Xenofontas! I was born and raised in Athens. I am a graduate of the University of Economics and I worked for years as an accountant until my passion for history and culture led me to quit accounting and work as a driver tour guide in a tourist office. I have been working for the past 10 years as a professional licensed tour driver all over Greece. I spent several years as a driver tour guide gaining the necessary experience and finally created my own travel business. I have a license from the Ministry of Tourism. In order to improve the quality of my services to travelers, I studied and graduated of Master of Business of Tourism and at the same time passed the exams and obtained a proficiency certification of Michigan University. With years of experience and love for tourism, I organize private minivan tours, providing all the comforts to the customers. The minivans are new vehicles and in excellent condition, offering customers all modern comforts such as air conditioning and WiFi. During a trip I want to give information, to tell stories like myths so that the client can assimilate the culture and the traditional with the best way. Greece is a country with a rich cultural heritage and history and offers me the opportunity to share my knowledge with people who are interested in learning about our culture and civilization. I feel very lucky doing this job. Every time on the tour I will give my best so that travelers can learn useful things about modern Greece, ancient Greece, food, traditions, arts and culture I am a guide-driver but not a licensed guide . This means I provide many information, but I don't follow you inside of the historical monuments. My aim is the travellers get an unforgettable experience.
