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.

This was a wonderful tour of the some of the Peloponnese Peninsula. Our guide George was excellent. He was very knowledge about the history of both the places we stopped and also of the history of Greece and its civilization. He was a good driver and kept us occupied the entire time. He went out of his way after he dropped us off at our hotel. I had left my phone in his vehicle and didn't notice it until about 15 minutes after we got to the room. We call ed the phone, George found the phone between the seats. He then drove all the way back to our hotel to return my phone. This was a truly kind act. Thanks George.

We would recommend George to anyone when considering booking a tour in Athens. George was very prompt and thorough during the entire tour. George took the time at the beginning of the tour to ensure he was going to take us to exactly where we wanted to go while using his expertise and knowledge of his country to exceed our expectations. We were more than satisfied with his command of the English language. We appreciate all of the stories and information he shared with us. Thanks to George for making our tour of Athens perfect.

We had a great day touring the beautiful sights in Peloponnese with George. He picked us up from our cruise ship and shuttled around both historic and picturesque areas in the region. It was a perfect way to see this beautiful area of Greece!

A perfectly organized and fun tour around mountain villages outside of Athens with lots of interesting insights. George has a wonderful way of introducing these villages to visitors. Loved Corinth Canal and our incredible visit to Nafplio for an awesome lunch and views of the city. I can warmly recommend his tours and certainly will book him again when organizing another event. Thank you George!
