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.

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.

We were on a cruise from Venice to Athens and we had many wonderful guides on the journey. I would say that Dimitrios was the best of a very expert bunch. He was A+ on everything from his clear communication to his warm personality to his fantastic knowledge of Athens. One of the people in our party had back issues, and I just cannot describe the lengths that Dimitrios went to, to help my friend see everything. He was flexible, and he got all of our tickets for us in advance. I recommend him with great enthusiasm if you are lucky enough to find him available!
We had a wonderful tour of Athens with Dimitrios. He was extremely knowledgeable, and shared the information in a way that even my teenagers found interesting! He also brought us to a very nice lunch spot, and provided plenty of recommendations for our stay. The communication before/during the tour was excellent, and I would highly recommend Dimitrios. It was truly a wonderful introduction to our family Greece vacation, thank you Dimitrios!
This was a great tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Perfect for our family with 8 people total.
Dimitrios was very knowledgeable and was able to create a tour that met all our needs. His efficiency of maneuvering Athens made the tour relaxing and stress free! Highly recommend.
We booked this tour last minute. We had never booked a tour with tours by Locals before and our friends highly recommended it. It didn’t disappoint at all. We were lucky to get this half-day tour with Dimitrios and he was incredible. He picked us up early at the cruise port and took us on a half-day tour, including the acropolis, changing of the guard at the government building and touring multiple past and current sites, including the site of the first modern Olympics. After our tour was over, he dropped us at our hotel with our luggage. I would recommend this tour with Dimitrios to anyone. He had an excellent slide presentation while we were driving around that had insights with pictures of what he was discussing. Dimitrios was very professional, experienced, easy to understand and very knowledgeable. For lunch, he took us to a local site that we never would’ve found on our own and it was excellent. I recommend this tour highly without reservation.
