After 10 years in Tourim, I had the chance to learn many aspects of this demanding area. The last years tours and transfers gave me the needed experience to provide safe, enjoyable and quality tours in or out of Athens. My first priority is always seeing happy, smily faces , so I do my best to achieve that. Professionalism and being friendly is what I always combine for my customers to feel safe, away from tourist traps and enjoy the tours with our conversations about the sightseeings we visit. 15 years in tourism generally 10 years providing services as a guide-driver to the best of Athens and Greece. I am a guide-driver, not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. Although for every single tour i provide many information from my luxurus 2015 Mercedes minivan.

Don't forget to take pictures to remember this beautiful trip! We will also go through Plaka. Here are shops where you can collect gifts and souvenirs at Monastiraki.

Jim was a great driver guide - very knowledgeable about Athens and Greece in general and provided insider tips which was awesome. Was happy to make any food/drink/bathroom breaks as necessary and had some brilliant recommendations for food which we all loved. Nice modern van with great A/C - thanks Jim we had the best day and couldn’t have asked for a better end to our trip to Greece!!

Jim was a terrific driver and very knowledgeable guide. He is kind, considerate, intelligent, and has a great sense of humor. My family of 5 felt that spending the day with him was one of the true highlights of our trip. We learned a lot and laughed throughout the day (having Jim drive us to various sites, in a very comfortable van, was very efficient, and he provided us with a real local perspective). We offer our strong recommendation.
