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.

Anne P.United States
Dimitris was a great and knowledgeable tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about Ancient Greek history as well as current events. He is a very patient driver in a crowded and busy city with a lot of traffic! We really enjoyed our tour.

Dimitris was an excellent guide for our group of six. This is the second tour we did with Dimitris - we did his Athens highlights tour when we first arrived in Athens before our cruise. He picked us up off our cruise ship including all our luggage, took us to Cape Sounion and then dropped one couple to the airport on the way back into Athens to drop the rest of us at our hotel. He is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We all very much enjoyed our time with him on this tour. Thanks :-)

We had a great tour with Dimitris. He picked us up at the cruise terminal when we disembarked, and gave us a lot of information about Greece and Athens as he drive us to out to Cape Sounion. He stopped to point out scenic views well. When he found out that my daughter and her boyfriend are artists who planned to paint watercolors of Poseidon's Temple and the surrounding views, and he was very interested in seeing their work at the end of our visit to the temple. His car was roomy and comfortable, and we had no trouble fitting in all the luggage for 6 people - 6 checked bags, 6 carryon bags and 6 daypacks. At the conclusion of our tour, he dropped us at our hotel in the Plaka district despite horrific traffic. All in all it was a wonderful day and we are very glad to have booked a tour with Dimitris. He has our highest recommendation!
