My name is Dimitrios and I was born and raised on the island of Salamis, next to Athens. I have been performing tours for years, not only in Greece but also in UK, something that helped me improve my English skills a lot. I have also spent many years of my life in Athens. Performing tours is not just a job for me. I am thrilled to show the gems of my country and initiate the travelers in our history and culture. History has always been my passion since I was a child, which was the reason I studied History at the University of Corfu. My history knowledge in combination with my driving experience and my desire to make each tour tailored to my client's interests, transforms each tour into a lifetime experience. In my tours, you will experience ancient sites, castles, museums, scenic drives and amazing traditional Greek food. Travelling is also part of my life. I haven't stopped travelling as a tourist all over the world the last 10 years. I totally understand how it feels to be a tourist in a foreign country and this helped me a lot to improve the services I provide. I offer exclusively private tours to different destinations all around Greece, on a 7 seater MPV minivan (5 adults+1 kids-no luggage or 3 adults+1 kid-with luggage) My ultimate goal is the customers' satisfaction and entertainment. I will work around your interests and needs to provide you with the best tour possible. I will do my best to ensure you have a magnificent, personalized, and extraordinarily unique experience visiting my beautiful country, Greece. -Professional driver -Licensed tour operator by the Greek Ministry of Tourism -History degree holder of Corfu History University -Authorized by the NGTO (National Greek Tourism Organization) I am a guide-driver, not a licensed tour guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments, but I'll share all my historical knowledge on board.

Overview of your Athens tour
This 5 hours tour offers you the chance to explore the most important sights of Athens, one of the most ancient cities in the world. We will visit the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathinaiko Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens. You'll learn about history, enjoy amazing views, discover our traditions and even get to taste some specialties if you'd like to! I will do my best to share all my knowledge in order to bring you in touch with the place where Democracy, Philosophy, Geometry and generally sciences were born! The experience of visiting the Acropolis is something you will remember all your life. Once you book, I'll be contacting you to arrange the best time to get the skip the line tickets for the Acropolis visit, which I very much advise to book in considerable advance to the tour date.

Dimitrios provided us with an excellent tour and he was very knowledgeable of all aspects of Athens and Greece. His sense of humor made for a fun day. Dimitrios acquired our tickets to see the Parthenon so we didn’t have to wait in line which was a life saver. Temple of Zeus, Panathenaic/Kalimarmaro Stadium, Library of Greece and seeing the Changing of the Guards up close and personal. Dimitrios got our group right up next to where the shift change took place and explained the qualifications required to get that job. Other sites were pointed out as he drove us around and lots of information was provided about each location. Dimitrios also has a book that showed the sites as they were originally built so you were able to compare the structures against present day and past. A great tool. Anything we wanted to see or stop at, Dimitrios was accommodating. Our transportation was clean and safe and Dimitrios was a great driver in a city of crazy drivers. Our last stop was lunch which Dimitrios took our group up to a restaurant at a high location that overlooks the whole area of Athens and its surroundings. The view was spectacular and we were able to see where all sites were located. You are able to see how expansive Athens and its surroundings communities is. Great photo stop and the restaurant was very pleasant with good food. You will not be disappointed it you choose any tour with Dimitrios.
