I am Vasilis and
I represent a group of drivers and guides all of whom speak
English French, Germany, Spanish...at the service of our clients
and their needs as visitors in our country. All of us are non-smokers,
myself included and we keep our air-conditioned cars fully serviced
and to high standards of cleanliness. Me personal: My name is Vasilis, I am 33 years old and I have been a professional driver in Greece for over 10 years. In the beginning I was driving my father’s car, who is also a professional driver, and now I have my own car. I have studied mechanical engineering at the University of Serres, which is in Northern Greece. Although my studies are far away from the tourism business I quickly realized that I like being a professional driver, the most. Furthermore, I started studying the history of Greece, its monuments and its artifacts.
The more I studied the more I was amazed by it and I felt the need to let people from other countries know our history better. So I started organizing tours through Greece including the monuments, the customers preferred to see each time, and I showed them our history in these educational and parallel entertaining vacations.
I have worked hard at trying to achieve my goal of giving people the holiday of a lifetime, by helping them see the real Greece, meet the real Greek people, sample the real Greek food and take them to places where they will be the only people who speak English.
At the Olympic Games
of 2004 in Athens my colleagues both drivers and guides worked for
the biggest Japanese newspaper, the "Asahi Siboun". Transferring
the Japanese journalists and photographers to ceremonies and all
the main events for a month, not only in Athens but also in Olympia,
Volos and Thessalonica. The work was exhausting but the experience
of watching so many sports, some of them we had never seen in our
lives before, was unforgettable.
