Warm greetings from Athens, Greece! My name is Dimitris, and I am a Professional Driver and Tour Operator certified by the Greek National Tourism Organization in Athens since 2014 (license number 0207E70000780001). Please note that I am not certified to accompany you inside the historical sites. Originally born in Brunswick, New Jersey, I spent the first five years of my life in the beautiful town of Old Bridge before relocating to Greece. Throughout my life, I have developed a deep love for Greece, its magical places, and the captivating stories that have shaped its rich history. In my travels, both within Greece and abroad, I am constantly seeking authentic experiences and avoiding tourist traps. My goal is to share the beauty of my country with you, provide insights into Greek mythology and both modern and ancient history, showcase breathtaking scenery, and lead you to my favorite places to indulge in authentic Greek cuisine. Above all, my aim is to make you feel at home and create a memorable experience. As a person who easily gets bored, I constantly embrace new technological advancements to stay ahead of the market. Due to my limitation as a licensed guide, I utilize drone footage and 3D applications to offer a virtual journey through history before visiting the sites. In 2024, I plan to launch an app for smart devices, featuring audio commentary from professional licensed guides, augmented reality capabilities, and vivid reconstructions of major sites, further enhancing your independent experience. Now that you have a better understanding of who I am, I invite you to join me for an honest, personal, and informative experience in Athens. Contact me today and let's embark on a journey to live your myth in Greece! I am a professional Tour Operator and Travel Agent, licensed by the Greek Ministry of Tourism to independently organize and conduct excursions. With this accreditation, I am authorized to ensure the highest standards of service and professionalism throughout the entire tour experience. As a certified and licensed operator, you can trust in my expertise and capabilities to provide you with an exceptional and enriching travel experience in Greece. Although I am unable to accompany you inside the monuments due to licensing regulations, I am committed to ensuring that your experience is informative, engaging, and rich in historical context.

We spent 2 wonderful days with Demitris - he customized the days for us based on what we wanted to see & his recommendations - even made changes on the spot. He is very engaging, super friendly & very knowledgeable - we learned so much about everything - not just where we toured but life in Athens/Greece (his English is perfect!) His car is spacious & very comfortable. Thoughtful touches like recommending very nice restaurants for lunch & having cold water for us just when we needed it! Highly recommend!
Mike G.United States
A perfect day tour through beautiful countryside. The best day of our trip including the cruise. Dimitris is very professional in making the day memorable. I highly recommend Dimitris.
Jane W.United States
We had a great day with Dimitris. He is very informative during our drive to Delphi. He arranged a great guide for us for the site, and afterward, he took us to a wonderful restaurant in the town of Delphi. He is a great driver and the van is very comfortable. He took the time and drove around some neighborhoods to show us the highlights after we returned to Athens. It was a long day but very enjoyable.
Joe D.Canada
Dimitris drove us to Delphi (2.5 hours). Along the way he provided us with the background and mythology of Delphi. He arranged for a private guide to meet us at the Delphi archeological site. Delphi is the most impressive Greek archeological site we have ever seen. The guide was excellent and took us through the museum and the site. Dimitris took us to a restaurant in Delphi where he arranged lunch for us. The view was spectacular (so was the food). We would highly recommend this tour and Dimitris.
Joel H.United States
Dimitris provided us with an excellent experience. From his brand new luxury van to the lunch reservation he made for our family in Delphi, he had the angles covered. He is a fount of information about the various sites we toured and went out of his way to anticipate our needs and interests. I couldn't have been happier with the tour he provided, and he was exceptionally accommodating of our uncertainty in planning during the current international health crisis. He's our go-to man for any return visit.
