My name is Frank and I welcome you to Athens - Greece, the land of democracy & philosophy, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, the land of sandy beaches & sunny blue skies surrounded by the blue seawater of the Mediterranean. It is a privilege to have been born, to have grown up & finally have the opportunity to show you the great beauties of "my" Greece. Having been a professional tour driver for several years, I have spent the last 25 years offering private tours in Athens as well as all over Greece and after all these years of experience, I can guarantee that I can offer you the best, unforgettable memories to last a lifetime! All you have to do is let me show you Athens - Greece in the unique way I know and do best through my tours. My tours are private and above all flexible. Relax & sit back in one of my well-maintained, fully air-conditioned, smoke-free Mercedes Benz Vehicles (taxis, minivans, minibuses) & enjoy your private tour in Athens - Greece. I will explain about the ancient monuments that you are about to visit, the ancient history of Greece & interesting facts about historical & modern-day Greece, but I am not allowed by law to accompany you into the sites. Furthermore, I am someone you can trust and make you feel safe & comfortable. Thank you very much for your time. You have made an excellent choice! Let your wonderful journey begin!
