Welcome! I am George and I was born and raised in Athens. I have been working for the past 25 years as a professional licensed tour driver all over Greece. My major studies have been in Computer programming and Economics. Since school I had a great passion for history. I also love driving and I would love to drive you around Athens and Greece in my clean and air-conditioned Mercedes van. Due to a broad array of interests I can discuss subjects ranging from mythology, ancient history, culture and philosophy to modern Greek history and culture. I feel very lucky doing this job, which allows me to show you not only my country but make you feel as a Greek for a while. We can explore the city and the country the way tourists don't and visit spots and restaurants you will really love. I always try to customize a tour according to your special interests and needs so that it is an unforgettable experience. I am a professional driver and can provide you private tours with all variety of vehicles such as minivan,minibus,bus and coaches I am a guide-driver but not a licensed guide .This means i provide many information from inside my luxurus 2015 Mercedes minivan we tour around but i dont follow outside,so i will not be able to walk you and guide you inside of the historical monuments.
