Hello from beautiful Greece! My name is Markos! I will be more than happy to drive you through my Country's History and Civilization in my Licensed, Smoke-Free, air-conditioned, latest-model Mercedes Minivan or brand-new Mercedes Minibus! About 10 years ago, I decided to follow my passion and get involved in the tourism industry. More specifically, to share my passion and knowledge of my country, with people from all over the world. Ever since I was a child, I remember myself walking around the streets of my birthplace, Athens. While I was growing up, I started learning little by little, about my country's amazing history. It was at that time, as a child, that I realized the glory of Ancient Greek Civilization. I realized the global importance of Ancient Greek Characters, and I also realized the magnitude of the cultural and scientific wealth that Ancient Greece spread all around the world. My Studies are in the field of Healthcare and Management. I have a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare and Social Units Administration from the Technological Educational Institute of Athens. I also have a Master's degree in Health Management from the University of Piraeus. Furthermore, I have a Certificate of Proficiency in English from the University of Michigan. My writing and speaking skills in English are excellent. Other than my professional occupation, I am a guitarist at a professional level and a Marathon runner. Being a Private Tour Driver Guide is more than a job for me. It is a great opportunity, to introduce my country's history and culture, through its sites and monuments. It's not just a job for me, it is a way to meet people from all over the world and share my passion with them. I love my country and I really love my city. I practically know Athens like the palm of my hand. I know many amazing things that a traveller would love to experience in Athens, that regular sightseeing cannot offer. There are many ways by which a city can surprise you, but it is sometimes very difficult for a traveller to find them on their own. A local person, however, like me, can provide the full experience! Ever since I started following this profession, and until this very day, I can only feel blessed by the travellers' feedback. I was so honoured that one of my recent reviews was listed in the video with the Top 12 Favorite ToursByLocals Reviews of 2019. My target is to continue, evolving, learning, and taking my tours to a higher level. Above all, I wish to be myself and start with a single tour experience with each of my amazing customers, to create a friendly relationship that will last for a long time. I want not only to offer my services but to inspire you to come back to Greece in the future and when you do, to search for me again! This is my ultimate wish! To offer you an experience that will last for a lifetime! Professional Licensed Tour Driver and Tour Operator, Certified by the Greek National Tourism Organization. I am not a licensed guide and I will not be able to come with you inside the historical sites, but I will share with you my personal knowledge about all the sites we are going to visit.

Delphi is the most popular destination for a day trip from Athens. Except from the extremely interesting history, the location is a small piece of paradise. Instead of following the typical drive route to go and return, I will drive you through beutiful local villages and I will show you more places on the way to Delphi. During our roadtrip I will share with you a lot of stories and I will give you a lot of information about Delphi, using videos, guidebooks, maps and my personal knowledge. We have the option to stop on request at any time if needed. The road trip will be very safe and comfortable with my New Luxurious Mercedes Minivan. After reaching Delphi you will visit the archaeological site and museum. Afterwards, I will take you to an amazing local restaurant with breathtaing view and delicious food. I always make a reservation for the best tables. After many years of experience, I developed a way in order for my travelers to have a true unforgetable experience! Be my guest!
Departing from Athens we will drive through the national road to Thieves and Levadia. Then we will drive towards the beautiful village of Arachova, which is located nearby the Ski Center of Parnassos. After 40 minutes of a wonderfully scenic drive through mountains and fertile valleys, we will visit the ancient city of Delphi, visit the oracle, navel & the center of the world, according to Greek mythology! the local museum and the local stadium. Your visit will take approximately 2 hours. Finally, we will visit the modern village of Delphi and we will have lunch at a scenic traditional tavern. Then we will return back to Athens. It will take us about 2, 5 hours from Delphi to Athens but you can relax and watch a video on the way back.
