Warm greetings from Athens, Greece! My name is Dimitris, and I am a Professional Driver and Tour Operator certified by the Greek National Tourism Organization in Athens since 2014 (license number 0207E70000780001). Please note that I am not certified to accompany you inside the historical sites. Originally born in Brunswick, New Jersey, I spent the first five years of my life in the beautiful town of Old Bridge before relocating to Greece. Throughout my life, I have developed a deep love for Greece, its magical places, and the captivating stories that have shaped its rich history. In my travels, both within Greece and abroad, I am constantly seeking authentic experiences and avoiding tourist traps. My goal is to share the beauty of my country with you, provide insights into Greek mythology and both modern and ancient history, showcase breathtaking scenery, and lead you to my favorite places to indulge in authentic Greek cuisine. Above all, my aim is to make you feel at home and create a memorable experience. As a person who easily gets bored, I constantly embrace new technological advancements to stay ahead of the market. Due to my limitation as a licensed guide, I utilize drone footage and 3D applications to offer a virtual journey through history before visiting the sites. In 2024, I plan to launch an app for smart devices, featuring audio commentary from professional licensed guides, augmented reality capabilities, and vivid reconstructions of major sites, further enhancing your independent experience. Now that you have a better understanding of who I am, I invite you to join me for an honest, personal, and informative experience in Athens. Contact me today and let's embark on a journey to live your myth in Greece! I am a professional Tour Operator and Travel Agent, licensed by the Greek Ministry of Tourism to independently organize and conduct excursions. With this accreditation, I am authorized to ensure the highest standards of service and professionalism throughout the entire tour experience. As a certified and licensed operator, you can trust in my expertise and capabilities to provide you with an exceptional and enriching travel experience in Greece. Although I am unable to accompany you inside the monuments due to licensing regulations, I am committed to ensuring that your experience is informative, engaging, and rich in historical context.

We had an awesome trip to the eastern part of the Peloponeso. Our preferred spot: the Epidaurus theater! Our guide was empathic and provided information on places, mythology and history, while driving us around. He recommended a great place for seafood in Napflios. He gave us time to go our pace through the spots we visited and was flexible based on our preferences.

Great trip Dimitris is very knowledgeable about Greek history And very personable. Large van accommodated 6 of us Comfortably for the 2+ hour drive. Mycenae and the coastal town of Nafplio were worth the drive.

Dimitris was great. He has a talent for conversation and providing all of the information needed for an informative trip. We are already recommending him to our friends. The Argolis tour was outstanding. Definitely recommend it. It's important to get out of Athens and see more of Greece!

There were 6 of us that went on the Argolis Full Day Private Tour with Dimitris. We picked this tour because we were visiting Athens and desired to get out of the city center and learn more about historical Greece. This was just the tour for that and Dimitris was so knowledgeable and told us about everything we visited as we went along. He gave is options if we wanted to modify our tour and this was really appreciated. We highly recommend this private tour with Dimitris!

We spent 2 wonderful days with Demitris - he customized the days for us based on what we wanted to see & his recommendations - even made changes on the spot. He is very engaging, super friendly & very knowledgeable - we learned so much about everything - not just where we toured but life in Athens/Greece (his English is perfect!) His car is spacious & very comfortable. Thoughtful touches like recommending very nice restaurants for lunch & having cold water for us just when we needed it! Highly recommend!
