I was born in central Greece in 1972. I live in Athens since 1993 and I have been a licensed professional taxi driver ever since. I have been an exclusive taxi driver up to 1998 when I started cooperating with Athenian Travel Agencies, working under strict schedules and deadlines. In the Olympic Games of 2004, I served as the personal driver of the famous NBC journalist Brian Williams. Since then, I have been cooperating with many other tour sites and agencies, making guided tours in Athens and all around Greece mainland. Regarding my driving, I believe that safety comes first and I make sure that passengers feel comfortable, relaxed and enjoy a tour that can always be adjusted to their needs. As I always like to offer high-quality services, to evolve, and share my expertise with other people, I continuously enrich my knowledge of Greek history that I like so much. I am a friendly, pleasant personality and can discuss with my customers' aspects of contemporary life in Greece, traditions, and habits, to enhance a better understanding of Greek culture. I joined ToursByLocals to offer Athens tours and Greece tours at the mainland. I can guarantee you a memorable lifetime experience during your visit in Athens and Greece overall! I ensure you that after taking the tour, you will love Athens and Greece as much as I do! I am a professional licensed taxi driver for over 25 years in Athens city. I am a professional tour operator and travel agent in Athens-Greece authorized by the national Greek tourism organization. I had been trained by the American Embassy and was a private security driver for NBC American TV channel personnel at the Athens Olympic Games of 2004. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historical monuments and museums. I will share with you my knowledge of history, and show you pictures of what you are about to see before you enter each site/museum.

I will give you the history behind all sites, wonderful insights into the city/country and all the historical sites also showing pictures of the original monuments in antiquity and as they appear today. My driving is safe, reliable, relaxed using clean comfortable, a/c vehicle and be open to any question of yours.
Our group of four took the Athens Highlights and Corinth full day tour. Chris did a great job arranging the tour to get us into sights without a long wait! He explained much of what we would see and gave historical background. He took us to a great place for lunch. He is very personable, and we all had a great time! Highly recommend him!!
Chris was a wonderful guide and possessed a great deal of knowledge about Greece and all of the sites we visited. He was very efficient in the transportation to different areas and a very nice place for lunch was a treat. Highly recommend this tour.
