All official licensed Guides of Greece graduates from the Guides’ School of Greece should wear on them their official badge when guiding.The official Guides’ badge has a photo of the guide, the name of the guide written in Greek and Latin/English, the languages that she/he is allowed to guide on and her/his code number. It necessarily also carries the stamp of the Greek Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Anyone not having that badge is NOT an official licensed Tour Guide and must NOT be trusted.
