My excursions
I'm working for 17 years doing every day, for about 9 months every year, private taxi tours to Olympia from cruise ships arriving by the port Katakolon. Allow me to believe that this gives me the experience to organise unforgetable tours for you and your families. Because you travel with a cruise ship it is a matter of the greatest import for you, your driver always be near to you for any emergency. It is important to have a driver who isn't working with other customers during you explore the ruins something which happens often and this has risk for you to loose your boat.
To make you feel sure for a secure to your ship return, a mobile device is given to you from me with which you can be in touch with me and I with you as well, anytime during you'll visit the ruins, even my car is parked only 300m from you. I'm personally, not travel agents or other relatives, replying your messages so you can understand your driver's English speaking knowledge, before your arrivall, when is late. All the information for the area, with big photos texts and maps, which you need to decide what to visit, are in my car. You can take with you, during you explore all the historical places, the official books for them, which are in my car as well. It's important for you to have a driver who is able to organise your tour, the order with which you'll visit the places so you'll be able to avoid the crowded areas.
It's important for you as well to have a driver who knows the history and everything for the area. A driver who gives a personal touch to his tours, who is going to show you the culture, the civilisation and how the local people live, something which sometimes is the most important for cruisers. Finally to have a driver who likes his job, not see it only like a way to live, but also see it like an oportunity to comunicate with other people and make friends in all over the world. These are some of the details which I believe they're doing my excursions completely different than any of the ship's excursions.
George
I was born in 1958 and being a taxi driver is my only job. I started in 1980 to work as taxi driver in Athens. From 1993 when we moved from Athens I'm a taxi driver in Pirgos the capital of the region Ilia. From then my wife my 13 years old daughter and I we live in the countryside outside of a small village called Varvasena, between
Pirgos
and Ancient Olympia. I'll avoid to talk more about myself. It will be very very easy for you to find and read a lot of reviews for my job here on the message boards of
cruisecritic.com, trip advisor and my
guestbook as well.
My new car is an E class Mercedes Benz limousine, model 2010. A luxuary and mainly a safe for any kind of tour car. It's more than enough big for 4 adults, plus the driver and I can take 5 if there are children with you. If you've a larger group, I can find other English speaking drivers who I believe they can do a similar tour, with my standards, under my advices and we'll do the tour together.
Sincerely George
