Our professional English-speaking drivers are experienced local professionals with excellent knowledge of Athens and Greece. They share local insights, point out places of interest, answer questions, and adapt the itinerary to your preferences. At archaeological sites and museums, your driver arranges a drop-off as close to the entrance as permitted and a convenient meeting point, allowing you to explore independently.
For accompanied visits and in-depth historical, archaeological, or cultural interpretation, a licensed tourist guide can be arranged separately. The licensed tourist guide travels alongside your driver and accompanies you during sightseeing visits, without undertaking driving duties. Site-only and small-group guided visits are also available.
