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.

Athens, a city with true beauty that combines the old with the new. See the Trilogy of Athens and Lycabettus Hill! We will start with the Acropolis site followed by the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Panatheniac Stadium, memorial of the unknown soldier, and the changing of Guards. We'll take pictures to remember this beautiful trip! In Plaka you'll find shops where you can collect gifts and souvenirs at Monastiraki. If time permits, we will stop at the Ancient Greek Agora, where the temple of Hephaestus, the Stoa of Attalos, and the St. Catherine Orthodox church lies. Have lunch at a traditional Athens restaurant where you can choose from many great Greek dishes! Finish your tour with a visit to the New Acropolis Museum, a unique experience.
George was right on time picking us up at our hotel (very prompt) and filled us full of interesting facts about Athens!! His van was super comfortable and he gave us many options of things that might interest us. Was very delightful and informative!!
George was a great tour guide. We used him on our first day in Athens Greece. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and gave us plenty of time to see them. He took us to a wonderful authentic Greek restaurant by the sea. And he taught us some of the Greek customs. He also gave great advice to avoid the crowds. He was an absolute joy. He was very flexible with our schedule. I would highly recommend George.
George was a truly excellent guide. He knew all the best routes to get us to the sites without traffic and he always managed to find parking and return as soon as we needed him for a pick-up.
Awesome, thank you!!
George was filled with knowledge and wisdom and personable! Our tour felt as if we had met with an old time friend and were visiting his home town. He took on the challenge of taking on any questions we had and surprisingly he knew the answer to all of ours! My wife and I were taken to an amazing local restaurant when we were hungry and another when we craved desert! George gave helpful tips on navigating around the crowds and above all else provided the most professional service! Would recommend!
A very wise man! Full of history yet made the time to include the kids and keep them entertained. We loved the day in Athens!
