Greetings from Greece! My name is Nektarios and I am a local at the city of Athens. I speak Greek and English fluently and I have been working as a licensed taxi driver and tour guide for the past 18 years. I chose this profession because I have always liked cars and driving in general. I am also a car engineer graduate and I work part time as a high school professor. This has given me the chance always be aware of my vehicles and be able to understand and overcome any situation. My current vehicle is a Mercedes E class. I believe that one word that would perfectly describe my personality is passionate. Passionate about my country. Passionate about my work. Passionate to adapt and try to do the best I can. I have always loved Greece and especially its rich history and culture. In fact, I can hardly think of a time that I did not want to open another history or mythology book in order to further extend my knowledge. Seven years ago I gave my first tour around Athens and so I had my first chance to try to pass my passion to others. I've loved it ever since. After that I have been working hard gathering pictures, videos and additional information to provide my customers with. Finding various local restaurants for them to try the famous Greek traditional cuisine and small out-of-the-way places that attract way less travellers and provide them with unique experiences. I am also one of the few Private Drivers in Athens who has passed and been issued with a Greek Certification Diploma from 2007 as a certified driver-guide by EOT (Greek National Tourism Organization), Everything I do is for my customer's satisfaction, happiness and entertainment. It would be an honour to continue this with you. Together we will uncover the rich History and uniqueness of Greece while having fun in the process. I look forward to meeting you. Private tour guide for the last seven years. Degree in mechanical engineering. I am a mechanical engineering professor for vocational high schools. History expert & professional taxi driver. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments and museums.

Overview of your Athens tour

Mysterious. Captivating. Definitely a must see. Those are just some examples of what previous travellers have told me during our time in the tour. The place has a particular aura that you can hardly find anywhere else. Discover the stories behind the peculiar figure of Oracle. Explore Delphi and marvel at its beauty. Visit the Delphi archeological museum and the Temple of Athena Pronea and uncover the secrets that the monument holds. Be sure to bring a camera in order to capture the breathtaking views from Mt. Parnassos. After exploring the dramatic ruins, head towards the unique byzantine monastery of Osious Loukas. Don't forget to try the Greek cuisine at a traditional restaurant nearby.

I loved this tour! Nektarios was great, on time, funny and great personality. Because he's not a registered guide, he couldn't take us into the sites but during the long drive from Athens provided all the information we needed to enjoy and appreciate what we were seeing, plus lots of other tips. I actually prefer this approach for this type of trip, I can wander thru it without all the talking. He took us to an amazing restaurant with spectacular views and great food. A must-do trip, highly recommend.

Our trip to Delphi with Nektarios was a real pleasure. Our 2 hour drive to Delphi was easy in his Mercedes, and he provided an excellent video for us to watch on the history, mythology and layout of Delphi. Time at the site was totally at our discretion. It goes without saying that Delphi is a not-to-be missed site. Afterwards, we had lunch at a charming restaurant in mountainside village of Arachova. He played "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" video for us on drive home. Just a great day !

Touring with Nektarios was fun and easy. Although he is not a guide per se, he had a collection of insightful videos on the way to our destination. I would suggest though to book a guide for a major site - Nektarios helped us with that, even for sites that he did not cover on his tour, and the guides were also phenomenal!

Six stars five isn't enough. Nektarios G. Was such a wonderful tour guide and person in general. He made our Athens experience interesting and easy. He was informative and knowledgeable about all things Greek. He also helped us navigate airport transfers. It was a pleasure to meet him. Arleen and Doug

Nektarios was a great driver and guide on our tour to Delphi. We had an amazing day driving through the Greek mountains north of Athens. Our time at the Hosios Loukas Monastery and spectacular Delphi made for a marvellous day. Our late lunch at a new Delphi restaurant was perfect - the view and the food.

Day two with Nektarios brought us through the beautiful Greek countryside to Delphi. During the drive, Nektarios provided great conversation as well as videos that helped us to understand the sites which we would visit. The day at Delphi, the Osios Loukas monastery with gorgeous mosaics, the nearby town and restaurant (delicious food and beautiful view), and the drive were a day well spent.
