Hello Paul, We spent the day touring with you and had a fabulous time.
You are extremely personable and very knowledgeable. The day in Athens
was a highlight of our trip. Our entire group loved it and we would
HIGHLY recommend Paul and his company.
Happy 2009!
Let us know if you ever get to the Los Angeles area.

Hello Paul:
Our travels
in Athens and Greece were thrilling, in part due to the beautiful scenery, but mostly due to the expert
knowledge and warm personality of your son, Nick. When we think of Greece, Nick's smiling face is first
and foremost. He knew exactly where to take us given our mobility limitations, had wonderful stories of
ancient Greece, and was even very helpful in selecting the right book of ancient Greece. We felt that
it was only because of your first class service and Nick's attention to our interests and needs that we
were able to see more of Greece than possible with a tour group. One of the times we enjoyed a lot was
when Nick took us to a local restaurant on our way back to Athens. The food was delicious and
inexpensive - a real treat.
Please forward our heart felt appreciation to Nick.
Thank you very much, Paul and Nick.
Sincerely,
Judy and Ralph Weir

Hello Nick,
Our recent
tour of Greece was a remarkable family experience, fully made possible because of GreekTaxi. You helped
plan the tour, arranged hotels, airport transfers, and were very responsive to my email inquiries and
questions.
More than
these perfect arrangements, Nick, you are an impeccable gentleman. Your knowledge of ancient Greece is
equal your knowledge of Greece today, her people, culture, geography, and government. We felt as if
we had a scholar driving us through history.
We are so
pleased to have had the opportunity to visit relatives in their homes.
Your translations and communication skills helped us to understand each other, create memories,
and lasting bonds. I know you were included as a family member.
You are in our stories, photographs, and memories.
Thank you
for all of your efforts on our behalf. The entire experience was way beyond our expectations.
We feel so fortunate to have chosen GreekTaxi over any other options !
We look forward to meeting again,
Your American Friends,
Susan, Scott, Weston, and Katelyn

Hello
Paul:
Many
thanks to you and Jim for the wonderful service that you provided to
me and Fiona this last weekend. We had a great time in Athens, much
of which was due to your impeccable organisation of our trip to Cape
Sounion, and the transfers to and from the Airport to our hotel. We
both enjoyed your relaxed and often humorous approach, and the knowledge
that you have of Athens was second to none. We would have no second
thoughts in recommending you to any of our friends.
Once
again, thank you.
Kindest
Regards

Hi Paul:
Thanks
to you and your son for taking me and my friends around Athens and on
our 3 day tour. I had a great visiting your country, hearing about all
the history and seeing the sites/museums. I particularly liked Sparta
and Olympia. I'm very pleased with your services. I definitely will
recommend you to people out here in the San Francisco area as well as
use you again the next time I return to Greece.
I
hope you and your family had a great fall and wonderful holiday season.
Best,

Hello
Paul! Hope this finds you and Nick doing very well! We are now home
from our amazing vacation and I wanted to write to you, to ask you to
please pass on to Nick, our "thank you" for spending the day with us
in Athens! We had such a wonderful time that day and enjoyed each and
every minute of it! Nick's genuine enthusiasm and love of Athens and
all it has to offer, was contagious! Please thank him for sharing all
of the wonderful information and history with us, and for bringing us
to so many special sights. Nick made us feel very welcome and we thank
him for that. We feel as if we made a new friend that day! We loved
every moment and are already looking forward to returning for a visit.
Thank
you for making our day in Athens very special and memorable!
All
the best to you both!

Paul,
This
is a belated email, I should have sent it after we arrived home, BUT
as we were really worn out by our cruise, and had to get up to speed
for Christmas things, I put it off until after the Holidays.
Our tour with you was one of the highlights of our cruise, we have marvelous
pictures of the Parthenon, and other sights we saw. Having you speak
english as well as you do, and understanding Americans as well as you
do it was a very great tour. Some other guides we had were obviously
NOT fond of Americans almost to the point of rudeness , although most
were very nice. You do have a grasp of the important features in Athens,
and probably all around Greece, though we didn't go with you to any
place else. We always knew what to look for at each site we went to,
and you explained the Changing of the Guard well beforehand. I'm sorry
WE didn't find the Agora, as per your instructions but most of the others
did, (Rick however didn't, but found a place to SHOP which was a highlight
for him). My husband Mike took the time we didn't take, to get a fabulous
photo of the church by the Cemetery City and also the very small Byzantine
Church, so our time was NOT wasted at that stop. The Museum was a highlight
also. Thank you for being such a good "Taxi Driver", and a guide also!

Hello
Paul,
We arrived safely in the U.S. and have been telling everyone what a
wonderful time we had in Greece and how you were such an integral part
of our good time. Your knowledge of the ancient sites, the Greek countryside,
restaurants and hotels allowed us to see so much more than we could
have by ourselves or if we had booked packaged tours. The Mercedes Benz
was comfortable and sure footed through the mountains and your intimate
knowledge of the mountain roads and driving skill made our travels relaxing
and enjoyable.
All in all we had the time of our lives and a trip we will never forget.
Thank you so much. And the best thing is that we made a new Greek friend.
Thank you, friend.
Sincerely,
Peter, LiliAnn, Grace and Matthew Paras

Dear
Paul,
I am the Mother of Lindsay Colon who made travel arrangements with you
for our trip to Greece last week. My daughter and I can not begin to
thank you and the people working for you enough. Fotis and Peter were
absolutley wonderful. Not only were they a wealth of information, but
were kind and ever so much gentlemen and all times. They made us feel
very secure as they gave us their cell numbers each time they left us
anywhere in the event we ran into trouble. We can not begin to thank
them enough. They truely made all the difference in our first trip abroad.
We will be sure to highly recommend you to anyone we know who may travel
to your country in the future. If we are lucky enough to return,you
will be the first people we contact when making our arrangements. You
are truely a top notch company.
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts,

with us on Tuesday. What a fantastic day. Your expertise, knowledge
and terrific humor made a for a day we will remember always. Bob and
I had never had the pleasure of visiting Athens - what a fabulous city!
Gorgeous. Having you introduce us to this lovely area was the best possible
introduction ever. Lunch and the Temple of Poseidon were very special
additions to the day.
Thank you again from all of us. You can be sure we will be recommending
your company and your service to everyone!

Hi
Paul,
We've been home 4 days now, and I wanted to let you know how much the
Turners and the Robertsons enjoyed our trip around the Peloponnese with
Fotis. He was really good - lots of info, open to questions, friendly,
always helpful, and a skilled driver, most importantly. We managed to
visit all the places we wanted to see and were delivered to our cruise
ship in plenty of time. We have been talking about our experience with
Fotis to many friends here and hope some of them may get in touch with
you to do what we did.
So, thanks again Paul, for arranging a wonderful trip and providing
a great driver at the time when there was a family medical problem.
It all worked out very well!
Cheers, Brian and Nelda Turner

------------------------------------------------------
Paul
Thank
you again more than I can say for being the fantastic friend, driver,
tour guide, and patient person that you are. Benjamin and I could not
have been better treated, directed, and cared for than you did for us.
I am writing: (1) to say thanks more than I have words to say, (2) to
send the three good pictures we got of you, the best one at the gate
at Messene having been taken by Benjamin, and (3) to send the testimonial
below. If you want higher resolution images than the ones I am sending,
which are appropriate for your website, let me know.
Your
knowledge of the roads, historic places, and scenic sites of Greece
is second to none. While we had planned a strong itinerary for visiting
ancient sites, you added to it immeasurably by suggesting sites along
our route that wonderfully enhanced the value and pleasure of our trip
to both the Peloponnese and locations north and west of Athens. Indeed,
you made our trips out of Athens this year at least as spectacular,
if not more exciting, than when we first rode with you five years ago.
I hardly have words enough to tell you how much I appreciated all of
your suggestions, your doggedness in securing directions to places off
the beaten path, and your patience while we spent hours studying sites.
Your car was as comfortable this summer as it was five years ago when
we first rode with you when it was new. You really keep it clean and
comfortable. I hope you enjoy the pictures attached. They testify to
how much you were a vital and valuable companion on our trip, not just
a driver. Thanks again for everything and don't hesitate to invite people
to contact me for a reference.

els viatges amb un Minibus mercedes molt comode. Ens va portar a donar
una volta de un dia sencer per el Peloponeso, i varem pasar un dia molt
agradable. Es superprofesional, puntual, condueix amb tota seguretat
i a mes s’adapta al grup. Realment os el recomano. El dia que varem
fer Corinto i el Pelopones, va ser una experiencia inolvidable. Per

Dear Paul,
Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our tour of Athens, your driver,
was very knowledgeable and a very, very good driver. We felt very comfortable
and appreciated how he kept track of the time to get us back to the
ship. We had enough time to see everything we wanted to see; the Temple
of Poseidon was magical as was lunch by the sea. I would not hesitate
to recommend your company or to use your services again.

you and Best Regards,

It
was a very memorable trip, and in particular, under your guide in Athens.
We all felt comfortable and relaxed when we were in Athens, though the
temperature was a little high for us in the open area. We will no doubt
recommend you to any of our friends if any of them stop over in Athens.
Your
name and e-mail address are kept in my "contact" list for

Hi
Paul,
My husband and I just wanted to say a big thank you to Jimmy for the
airport pickups, the Delphi trip and the Sounion trip. He is really
a delight and made our stay on Athens doubly memorable. Besides going
out of his way to make sure I was able to get up to the Parthenon, (I
had surgery on my leg) he was very concerned about our getting out of
the Grande Bretagne on the day of the demonstration in Syntagma Sq.
He had a backup plan, to park 2 stops away and come and get us on foot.
This was very reassuring since the staff at the hotel told us it would
be very dangerous. We left early and he took us around the Olympic facilities
to pass the time until our flight.
We really felt he did so much more than he had to and we will be frever
grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. Besides that, he's a great
guide!!
Thanks again,

They told me that it was flawless.I wish I could have said the same
for their transfers in Rome !!!! That was a disaster ! I will use you
again when the need arises, but I wanted to let you know that they could
not say enough great things about your company !!!

Paul,
Please
tell Jim again that we loved all he did for us. That was a wonderful
two day trip and we learned so much from him. He was just an excellent
guide and we'll recommend him to anyone we know going to Athens. Those
two days were such a good time. Please also tell him that we had a very
good time in Prague seeing lots of great cathedrals, the castle, bridge,
operas and other musical events, and the medieval town of Krumlov. We
lucked into good weather then until the very last day when it rained
and changed to snow! We're hoping to return to Greece in the fall and
do the islands that Jim recommended.
Thanks
again to both of you.

you provided for us this past Sunday and then again yesterday.
Both the driver who picked us up at Piraeus and the driver that picked
us up yesterday and took us from the Grand Bretagne to the airport,
were professional, prompt, friendly and informative.
We are so happy that we chose your company. I am keeping your email

am a travel agent with Carlson Wagonlit and will share your information
with the other travel agents in the office. That way, we can recommend

Dear Paul,
We have been home for a week now after our cruise and week in Tuscany.
On behalf of Bob, Linda, Dave, Nancy and Brian, I just want to thank
you once again for your part in a wonderful, unforgetable vacation.
We enjoyed your tour and commentary on ancient and present day Athens,
and appreciated your flexibility.
We would never dry in Athens ourselves, and felt very safe with you.
A small group tour such as yours is certainly the way to go, and we
wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to fellow travellers.
I hope you get to enjoy the quieter winter season.
Warm regards,

Best
taxi in Greece. A man named Paul is considered by many to have the best
taxi service in Athens, Greece. Fluent in English, he will pick you
up at the airport to help you with your luggage, drive you to your hotel
and, if you wish, give you a tour of the city and the countryside. For
some this has included a trip to his farm, where they enjoyed his mother's
delicious cooking.Delores knows this first hand. A travel agent who
has travelled extensively, she has used his services. She can say, indeed,
"he is the best taxi cab driver in Greece.She said she was particularly
impressed with his immaculate car and dress and his wide array of maps,
one which was three-dimensional and showed how Athens looked in ancient
days.

- My son Benjamin and I regularly smile to ourselves when we think about
the days we had with you taking us to the sites of ancient Greece, some
well known, others far off the beaten path. We went to Greece for Benjamin,
a graduate student in Classics, to get to know the country whose ancient
literature he had been reading. He knew the sites he most wanted to
visit, and you only took us to those, some of which we had to really
search for, but also you suggested places we needed to visit of which
we did not know. Furthermore, you enhanced our sightseeing by helping
us understand the culture more intimately than the average tourist ever
can. The bottom line is that you made our trip far more productive than
otherwise it would have been.
Your
car could not have been more comfortable. And for a person as I, who
knows virtually no Greek, your fluent command of English made all the
difference in the word in enriching my sightseeing in particular and
experience of Greece in general. Truly, you treated us as family, for
which we will de forever grateful.
I
can't wait to go back to Greece to see and experience more of the country
with you.

"We
had the pleasure of utilizing Paul's services during our recent honeymoon
in Greece. Paul was waiting for us at the airport when we got through
customs and took us our hotel in downtown Athens. I was immediately
impressed with his new car and his command of the English language.
The next day Paul took us on tour of Athens. How nice it was to have
an air-conditioned vehicle waiting at the end of each stop in the city--it
was 100F/40C that day. His knowledge of the city and Piraeus for our
departure to the islands. Of the 11 times I've been to Greece, this
was most pleasant taxi experience I've had. It clearly made our trip
to Athens more enjoyable. The combination of Paul's pleasant demeanor,
his wonderful car and the fact that he didn't pick up anyone else--sharing
a taxi can de one of the less pleasurable experiences in Greece--is
something any traveler would.

Finally,
after my return back to Miami, I am able to sit down peacefully and
write you an email. First,
I just want to thank you for our tour to Delphi/Meteora and also in
Athens on July 1st, 2005. It was an unforgettable experience. Your tours
were fantastic, and not only myself but also my mother in law were very
pleased to meet you and be part of your tours and your company. I love
everything about Greece from music, food, and unforgettable people like
you. Everyone where I work knows about Paul, not just only the taxi
driver, but a man who had made us enjoy our visit to Greece. Paul, you
are our friend.Get
ready for next year as I plan to revisit your beautiful country w/ a
lot more people besides my mother in law. You are very lucky to live
in a beautiful country like Greece.
I
am asking God that if I am able to move again, It has to be in Greece.

Hi
Paul,
Thank you for making our visit to Athens a happy and memorable one.
You escorted us early in the morning from the cruise ship in your new
and extremely comforable van and you moved us about the very busy city
in a very pleasant and efficient manner. We had just a day to see so
much but you made it seem easy and relaxed and we left that evening
feeling that we had accomplished seeing the highlights of Athens.
We highly recommend Paul for his courtesy, knowledge, and his wonderful
van! Excellent value.
Thanks, Paul. We wish you well.

Dear
Paul,
We
wanted to tell you how very much we enjoyed our taxi tour of Athens
and the surrounding area.It’s been almost a year since we toured with
you, and I’m sorry it’s taken so long to send this note, but our happy
memories of the tour have not diminished at all with time.It was wonderful
to have a drive who spoke such fluent English, and we really appreciated
the fact that you were willing to customize our tour to just what we
wanted to see. And we know that, because you knew the area so well,
we saw sights and heard stories that not every visitor gets to.We particularly
enjoyed our trip to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. Such fantastic
ruins – and such a beautiful view!
Thanks
so much for being our guide. We’ll be sure to call on you again next
time we plan a trip to Athens.

Dear
Paul,
we are writing to thank you for all the wonderful services you provided
for us on our last trip to Greece. The Greek people we met were overwhelmingly
hospitable; the land beautiful; the weather was unseasonably kind. But
the trip would not have been half so good without your services. You
were always on time, always available, always thinking of what we might
like to see. The arrangements you suggested were thoughtful and geared
towards what you had gleaned were our interests---and they were on target.
More than that, you were such a pleasure to meet and travel with. Whether
we were driving in the city or out overnight in the countryside, the
trips were comfortable, safe and secure. You knew where to stop for
lunch or where to pick up a clay pot. We can't thank you enough except
to say we will always call you when we come to Athens and venture out.
Many thanks Judith and Thomas Butler, M.D.

once again for a great day and your great work. You were very knowledgable
about everything. You picked us up at the Hotel Nefeli and the rest
was awesome. Also very nice car the 270 CDI is a very elegant car and

I
am sorry that I have not written sooner to thank you and your son for
your excellent service again! Both days were wonderful; although with
all the shopping the second day, it was the most expensive vacation
day of my life!!!
I
hope you will now have a few days to relax after the Olympics. Greece
must be very proud as I do not think the Olympics could have been done
better.
Now,
for some new business: I have a very good client of mine interested
in a full day tour of Athens on September 27, 2005. At present there
will be four people. If there were 6, would you be able to handle it?
I would appreciate pricing for both.
I
hope all is well. I look forward to hearing back from you,

Thank you for such an enjoyable day trip on Greece! You are so knowledgeable
and accommodating. It was very easy to make the arrangements with you
on the web. Your punctuality and professional manner were refreshing.
Spending the day with you "made" our trip!
Thank you for all your travel tips and for interpreting for us too.
I'd
recommend your service to anyone wanting fun sightseeing, with personal
experience.
All
the best; we hope to see you again,

HiPaul
and Dimitri,
Thanks
a million for the tour to Meteora--it was the highlight of my trip to
Greece! As a middle-aged solo traveler with little time, you turned
a potentially time-consuming and lonely journey into a sheer delight.
Your amicable conversation and Greek hospitality were genuine and truly
appreciated. Overall, a superb experience!I hope to see you again someday.
Warmest
regards,
Chris

Hi Paul,
Just
a note to let you know that we did manage to drive around Crete and
live to tell the tale! Not nearly as stress-free as riding around in
the back of your Mercedes. We really enjoyed the two days we spent with
you. Seeing Delphi, Corinth, Mycenae etc. with you as a guide was great.
You are very informative and considerate, even to the point of letting
us shop when it was getting pretty late! Thanks for everything. We would
both recommend you highly to anyone who might be going to Greece.
Sincerely,
Carol
Rasmussen and Marilyn Rossman

HI Paul, Just want to thank you for everything! We enjoyed our visit
in Athens and I am already scheming to go back! We sp appreciated your
taking us to a non tourist restaurant – it was truly a highlight of
our adventures in Greece! All of the information you gave us about the
city was invaluable. I have friends planning to go to Athens later in
2005 – (I’ve told them to contact you) and I hope to take one of my
daughters there in 2005 as well. You can bet we’ll check your availability
before we lock in any dates though - Until next time, best wishes and
thanks again for everything.
Have
a great day!

We just came back from Greece and I want to thank you Paul for your
services. My family and I spent 3 days with Paul: one in Peloponnese
and two in Delphi and Meteora. By the end of the trip I felt like I
was saying good bye to a member of my own family. Thank you again for
the wonderful tour. We really loved Greece after that.
Best
wishes.
Many
thanks.

Hello Paul,
We
promised to contact you soon after we got back to San Diego. We had
a wonderful time in Greece. You and your taxi service had much to do
with making our trip to Athens and Greece very special. It was our pleasure
to get to know you and enjoy your company while using your taxi service
to visit Sounion and enjoy a great sunset there. We were also glad that
you recommended an alternative to our trip to Delphi. That part of our
trip was also exciting. The canal was exciting to see. We will certainly
recommend your taxi service to our friends as we tell them all about
our trip to Greece.
We
were saddened by the events in America two weeks ago as you were. We
had to leave Lesvos a few days early and return to Athens to arrange
for our trip home due to all the security problems and cancellations
by the airlines. We had hoped to contact you but you had indicated that
you planed to take a week off and travel some yourself. Our trip back
to the US was without incident but it took a very long time and included
another stop.
Have
a good life, Paul.
Sincerely,

Hi Paul,
Just
wanted to say that I had gotten back to Montreal safely. Everything
went well and yesterday evening my boyfriend and I tasted your olive
oil. It's great! Thank you again. You were a great help in Athens, I
will recommend your services to anyone I know heading your way.
Thanks
again for everything,,
Hope
to see you again in the near future!,

"My father and I had a great time in Greece, and your tour was
a big part of this. You picked us up at the airport just as you said
you would, and the tour of Athens that first day was excellent. You
hit all the major sites, and it really set the table for the rest of
our trip. I will certainly recommend you and Greece to my friends. Good
luck to you.

Dear
Paul,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter as a tribute to you
and your services.
I spent 2 weeks in Greece of which all or part of 8 days I was with
Paul or in contact with him. He picked me up at the airport with a smile
and delivered me to my hotel in Athens. My first impression was a well-dressed
man in a clean car who spoke English very well, didn’t smoke and called
me by name. He had maps, brochures, ideas and lots of general information
about what I should do or see while in Greece. He was very helpful,
informative and made me feel welcome from the start.
Days
3-5, I was with Paul for an exciting and interesting tour of Olympia,
Delphi and Meteora. He was very gracious along the way always being
concerned about my comfort and my interests. Time schedules were flexible
to suit my needs. He was patient and accommodating with me when I wanted
to either stop or backtrack for photo opportunities. He even was the
photographer a few times. He knew lots of information and kept conversations
lively which made the 5 hour driving spells fly by. I teased him that
I had set up an office in his back seat.
I
was joining a large tour group (600 people) back in Athens. One of our
group’s excursions was to Corinth. When I shared with Paul the schedule
for that day, he expressed a concern that I would not get to see much
in the time allotted with so many people. He offered his services for
that day and suggested that I find a few others in my group to come
along. By this time, Paul had me spoiled with his high standard of personalized
service, so I set off to recruit 1-3 companions in a group where I knew
no one. In less than 24 hours, I had made such a great sales pitch that
I had 7 folks lined up to go. Paul was surprised that I had worked so
fast. As a delighted customer, it was easy.
I
highly recommend Paul to anyone wanting to make the most of their time
in Greece. He loves his job and loves making his clients happy. I hired
a taxi driver and left Greece with a friend!

Dear
Paul,
Lisa
and I can not thank you enough for the wonderful day you spent with
us showing us around the Peloponnese. The knowledge and insight you
provided, as well as your choice of places to visit was fantastic and
right on for the time we had. Your insight into how Greece tourism (the
Ferry system, your understanding of what islands offer what, logistical
information pertaining to other sites we visited during the rest of
our stay) works was an added invaluable service that helped us immensely
during the rest of our stay as well. We came to Greece completely "winging"
it with nothing other than our reservation with you and a hotel reservation
for the night we arrived. And if we had it to do over, we wouldn't change
a thing. You are a fantastic ambassador and our feeling is that no tour
of Greece could be (or at least should be), complete without your guidance.
The ONLY REGRET WE HAVE is that we didn't have someone snap a photo
of us with you, since you are sure to be one of our fondest memories.
Best of luck to you friend, and may you always be safe.
With
Kindest Regards,
Lisa

Paul,
We have just returned home after 3 wonderful weeks in Greece. I want
to thank you for the wonderful tour to Ancient Sparta. Your tour was
our very first activity in Greece. It was wonderful. You provided us
with a great feel for Athens and Greece as well as the tour of Sparti.
From Mistras castle to St Sophia monastery to the ruins of Ancient Sparta
acropolis, we were constantly referring to our day with you with fond
memories while on the rest of our tour of Greece. Believe it or not,
the place you took us for lunch was one of the best we had in Greece.
We knew more about real greek lifestyle than most of the people on our
more formal tour. I even impressed our tour bus driver when I knew about
the hidden camera taking pictures of speeders on the highway. All in
all, our day with you was one of the highlights of our visit. We will
look you up when we return to Greece to see more of your wonderful country.
Efcharisto! P.S. Here is the picture you took of us on the trip.

Estimado
Paul:
Mi familia y yo te agradecemos por los dos estupendos dias que nos hiciste
pasar en Atenas y alrededores en nuestras recientes vacaciones, no solo
por los esplendidos recorridos sino ademas por tus interesantes explicaciones
y acertadas sugerencias en la eleccion de restaurantes y comidas . Creo
que sin tus servicios hubiera sido imposible conocer tanto en tan poco
tiempo, ello sin perjuicio del calor que molestaba al resto de turistas
mientras nosotros llegabamos hasta la puerta con la comodidad del aire
acondicionado .
Cordiales Saludos.

Hello
Paul, Thanks for getting Jolene for us, it's a relief to know that she
will be with you for her ride to the airport!I told her you would be
calling, or she has your phone number, so she could call you. I'm sure
you'll get in touch with each other. She just got back from Santorini
and loved it! What an experience she has had, but we're ready for her
to come home. Good luck with the Olympics this summer, we'll be watching.
Thanks again,
Marilyn

Hi
Paul, Thanks for your services rendered during our trip to Greece. You
made our trip much more enjoyable than it would have been had we travelled
on our own. The airport transfer for the return flight was smooth as
well. Thanks once again and take care. Regards,

Dear
Nick (and Paul), We wanted to thank you for giving us a great tour of
your city on the June 18. Your warmth and professionalism were very
much appreciated and we came home with many fun memories. You kept us
away from the swarms of tourists, led us to a fantastic lunch (complete
with sinking boat), picked us up some out-of-this-world baklava and
were gracious in every way. And on top of that you shared the secret
of yogurt, etc.! Thanks again and hopefully we'll ride together again
some day,

Paul,
Mary & I wanted to thank you for touring us around Greece for 2
days.We and the children very much enjoyed you and your service to us,
it was wonderful.
We
would recommend you to others who would like to see Greece without the
use of a tour bus. Thank you again!

Paul,
Our Greece-vacation is truly memorable, fun and educational for my entire
family. First, thanks to God and secondly, to all of you who have helped
us in making our vacation enjoyable. Thank you Bro. Norman for all the
tips and directions you gave us to go around Athens. And to you Paul,
you don't realize how you'd helped my family with your expertise. We
felt safe and now are more knowlegeable with the history and places
we'd visited(Delphi, Olympia, Corinth, Mikines, Epidaurus, Nafplion,
Patras, etc). My children, Abel and Lara, will now have better understanding
of ancient Greek History (Trojan War, Troy, Agamemnon, Phythia, etc.
very interesting stories). I'd sent emails to all my siblings and friends
and told them of our adventures and fun and how you'd helped us in putting
together our 3-day tour. I sent them your phone#s, email address and
web sites.
May the blessings and mercy of God be with all of us and ones we loved.
Your brethren in Christ Jesus,
