Believe it or not, I just completed the editing of nearly 2000 pictures from our 20 day cruise, over 250 from our trip with Frank. This is why many emails have gone unanswered. I wanted to personally thank you for the professional service you provided and most particularly the efficient yet relaxed day we spent with Frank. I don't know how much the "day before elections" meant to auto and foot traffic, but we moved smoothly and swiftly from one site to another. Frank helped to minimize walking as he knew I had a knee problem and managed everything so that we never spent much time standing in the rain waiting for tickets or entrance. I cannot say enough about our day in your beautiful city...we have already recommended you to several of our friends who are planning trips in the spring.

Hello Paul:
We are back in Belgium. After a good flight back from Athens and after a good night sleep I want to congratulate you and your firm and in particular your partner that drove us (Marco/Marcos) through Athens and to Cape Sounion. All the six of us had a great and marvellous day. Even a couple that was for several times in Athens has seen a lot of things they didn’t seen on earlier visits to the city. I recommend you to other cruisers and visitors to Athens. Thanks again for the fine service

Paul,
again we would like to thank-you for the wonderful day we had with you as our driver and guide. We felt that you showed us as much as possible of Athens as we could have possibly seen with the time we had. Also your stop at the Hard Rock was memorable for many of our group. I would be happy to post a comment on Trip advisor and plan to do so. What company name and website do you want me to list so that others get the correct Athens taxi for hire company? Hope you continue to prosper and again Thank-you.
Sincerely,
Debra Hagan

Paul,
Yes, we got home safe and sound although it was a long day of travel. Your son, was great both days. He even gave us a name of a restaurant down in the Plaka that we walked to for dinner. Want to thank you both again. Take care and thanks for E mailing.

Paul,
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Between flight delays, missed connections and lost baggage, my girlfriend and I had a really tough time traveling to Athens. After the airline mess we had been through, it was such a delight to see Dimitri at the airport waiting for us. He was extremely courteous, informative on Greece and Athens and was a great pleasure to talk to. Thanks to you and Dimitri for a terrific experience. We had an amazing time in Greece and can't wait to come back in the near future.
Best Wishes,

Dear Paul:
I am sorry I didn't reply earlier, but I received your email about an hour before leaving, and was too excited to notice that you had requested a read receipt. I wanted to email you anyway, and tell you that both your drivers that we had in Athens on Oct. 10 and Oct. 11th, were wonderful! Jimmy picked us up at the airport and the drive to our hotel was fun and informative, thanks to him. He and my husband had a great chat about football (or soccer, as we say!). Marcos (I hope I am spelling his name right) picked us up at the hotel (Athens Gate) the next day, and gave us a wonderful, personalized tour, before taking us to the cruise ship Azamara. Marcos was a fountain of information, and such a pleasant, affable young man. I can't begin to tell you how good he was at showing us the wonderful highlights of your beautiful city. You are very fortunate to have such good employees, who our excellent ambassadors for your company, and your country. You are all very professional!We will highly recommend your company and its excellent service, if we know of anyone going to Athens.
Once again, Efharisto!

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for all of your assistance with our tour of Athens. Peter was absolutely wonderful. He was waiting for us just outside the cruise terminal, and provided us with a fabulous day. This was the best tour that I booked during the entire tour. I loved Greece, and hope to visit again.

Aloha Paul and Demetrios
We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the day we spent in Athens with Demetrios. We were able to see so much in one day, and in a beautiful car driven very safely I might add! Demetrios was kind and considerate, plus knowledgeable and fun! A true gentleman. We would certainly recommend your company to friends. Our day in Athens was a highlight of our cruise!

Hi Paul,
Just wanted to let you know we are home now. I would recommend your service to anyone coming to Athens. Frank did an excellent job of driving us to Delphi. He was knowledgeable about Greece. Since it was a few days before elections, the roads were busy. Returning to Athens many main roads were closed or had come to a stop because of traffic. Frank took us on a detour that led straight to our hotel. All four of us were very pleased with the day of touring. Thanks again for making our stay in Athens more enjoyable!
Sincerely,
Steve Beacham

Dear Jimmy (and Paul),
Thank you so much for a fabulous day in Athens. We had such a great time and saw so much! Jimmy was a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of all the places and such an expert at getting around on those narrow streets. Also, very patient waiting for us to finish shopping in the Plaka. It was pretty incredible how much we saw and did in one day, including a very special lunch. Truly, it didn't matter that the pork wasn't wrapped in the pita as we had expected - it was very very good. I will certainly recommend your services to others and I will also write a review for cruisecritic.com as soon as things settle back to normal. We experienced some weather problems aboard ship during our return to Barcelona which resulted in missed flights, an extra night in Barcelona, and not getting home until last night. Still, it was a wonderful time and we all feel blessed to have been able to take such a trip.
Thank you again.

Greetings Paul,
YES!! We had a wonderful day in Athens with Dimitri!!!! He is a very polite, professional, witty & knowledgeable young man & we very much enjoyed spending the day with him & having him show us around. We felt like we got a very good overview of Athens and Dimitri did a wonderful job telling us a bit about the history as well as shedding some light on the modern day life of Athens. As I mentioned before, I booked my parents & their friends with you last year & they also had a very enjoyable experience. All of us will definitely keep you in mind if we are ever lucky enough to return to Athens!! I will happily book future clients with you as well!! :) Thank you again...please send our regards to Dimitri and thank him again for us!

Paul -
YOUR services were absolutely terrific. The pick up at the ship, the day in Athens with a great guide although a bit long winded. But we enjoyed the time with him and our driver. The trip to Delphi, the monastery and a small town with a lovely river running through it was very special. Thanks for asking for our opinion. Everything worked just great.

Dear Paul:
On behalf of myself and my friends, we all want to send to you a great big THANK YOU for our incredible Athens Excursion on Sunday, September 13th. We recently were on the cruise ship Brilliance of the Seas. We can’t thank you enough for our wonderful, incredible driver Nicholas and the brilliant Vasillios (I think he liked to be called Bill). Vasillios immense knowledge of the City of Athens and all its rich history is something we will never forget. Both Nicolas and Vasillios went out of their ways to make sure that our day in Athens would be a memorable one. Also we can’t thank Vasillios’s recommendation for lunch in the Plaka. Could not have done it without him. Please send both of them a great big hello from the six crazy ladies and the one man in our group.

Dear Paul:
I had intended to write to you sooner indicating our 100% satisfaction with the service Jim gave us on our tour of AThens, but we both had jet lag bad and also got colds, not to forget all the unpacking we had to do. We were pleased with all Jim showed us, but the knowledge that he gave us of what we were about to see, made the biggest difference. We loved that he didn't put us on a deadline, but let us do it at our pace and we for the most part, took his recommended timeline and it worked perfectly. I cannot think of anything negative or would change about our day with Athens Taxi. We have already spoken to our travel agent and told her to not hesitate to recommend your services and she informed me that she would and had a honeymoon couple looking for a private tour of Athens. I hope they take her recommendation. Our trip was a dream and our last stop was everything and more we expected of Athens. Please pass on to Jim our thanks. We think he is a really wonderful person and guide. If we are ever your way again, we will certainly take advantage of your service.
With warmest regards and thanks, we remain yours truly,

Hello Paul - We were with the full day Athens/Cape Sounion O'Brien Tour reservation on 27 September 2009. Just a note to say how pleased we were with this full day tour. Our driver and guide Frank was outstanding. He was on time ... very professional ... answered our questions ... made route recommendations to avoid delays caused by several Athens events that day ... took us to a very nice restaurant for lunch and - had us back to the ship in plenty of time. Frank provided very interesting tour information all through our day. We greatly appreciated his assistance. Please pass our sincere 'thank you" on to Frank for making our day in Athens very memorable.
Best regards -

Dear Paul,
Ben, Sam, and I want to thank you for arranging such a special tour for us this August. Your son, Dimitrius, was absolutely the best guide we could have asked for! We miss his smiling face and speak of him often as we reminisce about our amazing journey in Greece. He was not only knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, but was also a wonderful story teller about the history and mythologies as well. Our 11 year old son and he got along famously as they shared their knowledge of Greek myths and legends. Dimitrius was always trying to make sure that we had the best experience wherever we were, from finding the most delicious baklava and spinach pies, to hunting down more chocolate souffles for our son! He also privately arranged for us to visit a synagogue on our last day in Athens...a memorable event. Our best to you and your family...whenever we return to Greece, you will be the only one we call to arrange our trip. Feel free to use us as a reference. Please give Dimitrius our love!!!
Many thanks,
Ben, Carol, and Sam Greenspan

Hi Paul,
I just wanted to follow up with you regarding our tour of Athens on August 30, 2009. I must tell you our driver, Tom, did a FANTASTIC job! We could not have been more pleased. Tom made our day in Athens one we will never forget. Everything was seamless. Tom picked us up on time at the port which allowed us to spend time at the Acropolis in the morning before the crowds and heat consumed us. We visited all of the sites in Athens, including the New Acropolis Museum, and our lunch at the restaurant located in the Monastiraki Flea Market area was fabulous. We felt honored to be treated so graciously by the owner and his staff. I will be relaying similar comments to those on Cruise Critic who may be looking for an outstanding private tour of Athens. I hope they will contact you for a special day in Athens.
Thanks again (and please pass these comments on to Tom),

Dear Paul,
My family and I want to thank you for making our stay in Athens a memorable and pleasant one. Not only was your service first-rate, but your knowledge of the archaeological sites added immensely to the experience. The exceptional care that you gave us made us feel as if we were family, and not ‘just’ customers. Thank you, and we do hope to see you again!
Best Regards,

Paul,
we just returned to Canada today and I thought I would let you know that we really enjoyed our tour of Athens with Dimitrios (hope I spelled this correctly). His extensive knowledge of the sights and Greek history made the tour extra special. I won’t hesitate to recommend your service to anyone who is looking for a First Class driver and guide for a tour of Athens. Our only regret was that we could only spend one day in your fascinating city! Thanks again…and please pass on our gratitude for a top notch tour to Dimitrios!

Hi Paul,
I just wanted to tell you that we had a wonderful experience with your service. Your associate was waiting for us, as promised, with a sign with my name as soon as we disembarked from our ship, and our transfer to the airport hotel was flawless. The car was lovely and spotless, and your associate very helpful. I will definitely use your service again on our next trip to Greece, and will recommend you to our friends and family.
Thanks again, kai kalo kalokairi!

Dear Paul,
...just wanted to let you know that Athens, Greece was by far the highlight of the Mediterrean cruise that I recently took. The tour with Demetrius (Jimmy) was fantastic. He certainly went over and above his call of duty to provide excellent service. His warm personality and vast knowledge of Greece made this a most memorable experience. Please share with Demetrius what a favourable impression he has made. :)
Kindest regards,

Dear Paul,
Our trip was fantastic. We loved Athens. You have a beautiful city. Constantine was a wonderful host and an efficient driver. We appreciated his love of Greece and his pride in showing us the best of Athens. He is a careful, safe driver and his ability to stay ahead of the crowds was very nice.
Thank you,

My husband and I wish to thank you for the efficient taxi service you provided from the Piraeus Cruise Terminal to the Electra Palace Hotel in Athens on 1 May. Although we were early disembarking, your driver was waiting for us and very easy to find. On the journey to the hotel, he pointed out the sights to us making the journey very pleasant. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to friends and acquaintances. Thank you again.

Paul,
I just got the credit card bill for the tour you gave for my group on April 14th. It reminded me to write and thank you for the hospitality and the excellent tour you and your guide gave us. I wrote a Cruisecritic review of our trip and included your name and company with a very favorable review. If you ever need a reference please feel free to use my name, phone number and e-mail address to any of your potential customers. Again, thanks for a memorable day in your wonderful country.

Hi Paul,
I would like to leave a testimonial for your taxi service. This is a very reliable taxi service we were picked up on schedule from the airport and taken to our hydrafoil in Pireaus. On our return we were met as requested and taken to our hotel, which is difficult to find, in Kolonaki. The next day we were picked up from the hotel and given a scenic tour to the airport. Everybody was very courteous and helpful and spoke excellent English. This service is worth every penny! I would highly recommend it especially if it is your first time in Athens.

Hi,
I just wanted to thank you for moving our recent trip for Athens to Napflion on April 2nd. We really enjoyed the tour with Tom. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the History and made the day very interesting and fun. This tour took away all the worry and hassle for site seeing - no getting on and off crowded uncomfortable busses that just drive by everything. We had a great day and hope we can return to Greece in the future to explore some more. It is just beautiful there! Thank You!!!
Sincerely,
Cris Rasmussen

Dear Paul,
I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our visit to Athens. Nick was excellent company and was so knowledgable that we forgot he wasn't a licensed guide. Our friends raved about Demetrios as well. We will be sure to recommend you and Athens Taxi whenever we can.

Hello, Paul –
Just a note to add to your “wall of gratitude,” we had a wonderful time driving around the Peloponnese with you. Visiting Greece had been a lifelong dream for me, and you really helped make it possible. I am very appreciative of your good humour, your patience with my stumbling efforts to speak Greek, your eagerness to see new things, such as the Temple of Vasses, and your willingness to share your knowledge of classical, Byzantine, and modern Greek history. Your customers are lucky to find you!

Dear Paul,
I didn't get this email until today. Vasilly (not sure of spelling) and Nikos were wonderful. It rained all day but we were able to see everything but the Parthenon. Vasilly was well-prepared and customized his presentation wonderfully to our interest in the Apostle Paul. Both he and Nikos made our visit to Greece a pleasure and a great educational experience for our 8 year old daughter who fell in love with both of them! I will email you soon with more details. Thank you for your great service. We will recommend you highly to anyone going to Greece.

Thanks Paul for a memorable holiday. I did not imagine how wrong it would have been had I not providentially chosen your services, which, according to my wife was the only wisest decision I had taken, apart from the choice of destination. Without any exaggeration I can say, you made our days memorable in Greece, by your punctuality, regularity, driving ease and expertise with which you made us cross the hills and valleys with smooth maneuvering of your comfortable car, your indepth knowledge of the places we visited and beyond with a ouch of mysticism and historical evidences that made the stories believable and worthwhile. There are many more places in Greece we would like to visit during my next trip. I will plan for May-June 2010 and will let you know in advance. My choices in Greece are known to you. Plan an itinerary leaving the dates please. With a lot many thanks and regards.
Our love to your family and you,

Hello Paul:
Now we are back in Northern Ireland I am writing to thank you on behalf of the class five children, teacher and parents of the Steiner School, for an amazing trip around Greece. You really made such a difference to our educational tour. The children have been full of talk about it since our return and your knowledge and enthusiasm brought history to life for us all. We would highly recommend you to any group or individuals travelling in Greece. To anybody looking for transport in Greece I would say look no further. Athensbytaxi is a fantastic, family run company. They are lovely people, highly knowledgeable and generous with their time and energy. It was a total pleasure to meet you Paul. I wish you all the very best for the future and you never know, we may be back again soon.
best wishes

A belated thank you for a great tour of Athens. Our group thoroughly enjoyed seeing the amazing sights Athens has to offer. You gave us the history and background of the various attractions in Athens. We didn't miss anything and spent a wonderful day visiting the city. Your timing was perfect - you picked us up at the cruise ship early enough to miss rush hour traffic in Athens, and we were back to the ship in plenty of time before it sailed. The restaurant you suggested for lunch in the Plaka was outstanding and we had more food than we could eat. Thanks to you, our day in Athens was fantabulous! If anyone is looking for the perfect day tour of Athens, Paul is the man to call. Our group hopes to get back to Athens in the future, and when we do, we'll call Paul.

Christine and I just wanted to thank you again for the experience you provided for us in Athens on Jan 8th. Your professionalism and advice allowed us to see so much in such a short period of time that we were extremely tired yet exhilirated by the end of the day this has resulted in a desire to return to the area with the goal of spending more time and we hope we can use your services again thank-you again

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,

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.

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! Sent some Photos separately

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 cannot 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.

Dear Paul and Nick,
David, Sharon, Bob and I would like to thank you for the time you spent 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!
Take care,
Beth Mazur.

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

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.

Dear Paul,
Let us send you below some words in Catalan, our native language, for people of our Country that visit your website. You have already too many testimonials in English. Thanks a lot for all.
“Per a tots els que vulguin coneixer la nostra experiencia.
Vam ser una colla de 13 persones que varem estar un dia sencer amb el Paul, al marge d’altres 3 desplacaments curts que tambe vem fer amb ell. Tots 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 cert per els que no hi heu estat os recomanem Nafplio, una ciutat que no podeu deixar de visitar.
Una colla de Badalona.”

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.
Thank you and Best Regards,

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,

You are a very charming, helpful friend and we will always be grateful for the wonderful days we spent with you adventuring Greece.

Paul,
I just cant thank you and your company enough! Joseph and Donna Kiggins just got back to the states and she came in the am to let me know how the trip went. They were so very pleased with your service, professionalism. 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!!! Thank you so very much!

Hi Paul,
My husband and I would like to thank you for the wonderful service that 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 and phone numbers and I am bringing them into my office tomorrow. I 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 our clients to you, for private transfers and also private tours. Again, thank you Paul and we really enjoyed our visit to Greece and Athens. Hope to be there again in the future.

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,
Barbara King

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.

Thank you for your service on our recent visit to Greece (Nov. 26 and 28). We enjoyed our tour with your son and appreciated the fine service we received in being picked up at the airport, toured in Athens, and then delivered safely to the port to meet our cruise ship. Many thanks and happy holidays and New Year to you and all your family.

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.
Sincerely,
Jean and John Hall

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

Hello Paul,
Thank you so much for a great day at Delphi. My name is Tony Munoz and I was with my Aunt Denise Sokolowski and Uncle Robert Munoz. We had a great time we took lots of pictures and we would like to thank you 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 personally look forward to returning some day and using your services again.
Thanks for everything,

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. I hope all is well.

Hello Paul,
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.

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.

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.

Dear Paul.
It is with great thankfulness and gratitude that, on behalf of Meridian Management, I extend our appreciation for your dedication and services to the Transportation program during the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee's Marketing program was extremely successful and a significant element of that success was the very efficient and supportive service you provided. You have shown your good qualities and they have proved invaluable to our common achievement of the high goals set. I wish you all the best in your adventures to come.

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.
Thank you,

Dear Paul,
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.
Best Regards,

Hi Paul 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,

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

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,

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 . Creoque 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.

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 cannot 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,

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!
