Panos
Hello! My name is Moema Professor and I work as an Accounts Executive for Asimina Tours! ?I graduated from the Federal University of Sergipe, in Brazil, and became a dentist. I did this for a few years but this career path was not fulfilling me personally. I decided to make a big change in my life and find what made me “happy”.
Some of the things I enjoyed were travel, culture, food, children, and family time. I spent time at a close friend’s house and got to experience what is life like in the USA. While in the USA I met Stella, the owner of Asimina Tours.
Working for Asimina Tours “felt right” and it was exactly what I was looking to do in life. Since I love Culture, travel, great food, and “family”, Asimina Tours was the perfect fit for me.
I have been in the travel industry for a few years now working with suppliers in Greece, Italy, and Turkey and traveling as often as I can. I am loving every minute of it!
What Our Guests Say
Christina and Dimitris were exceptionally responsive, helpful, and arranged too-notch accommodations and experiences.
I 100% would use them again.
Bravo
The trip to Greece was last summer. We just returned from a week on the Amalfi coast in Sorrento and Positano. Panos did a fantastic job in the choice of hotels, a tour to Capri and a cooking class at Villa Pane in Sorrento. The transfers all ran like clock work. The experience was perfecto!

Thank you Asimina Tours.
We would definitely book with them again.

Traveling can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with Panos and Asimina Tours, it was effortless. We were able to simply enjoy Italy, knowing everything was taken care of. We’ll definitely be working with them again for future adventures!
The organization before the trip was incredible and immediately put us at ease. Every detail was handled with such care that we never once felt stressed or uncertain. Throughout the entire trip, communication was flawless. Transfers and drivers were always early, professional, and reliable, and we genuinely felt taken care of every step of the way — like someone was always looking out for us.
What stood out most was how personal everything felt. Panos carefully selected tours and experiences that fit exactly what we were hoping for, not just standard options. It was clear how much heart he puts into his work, and that made all the difference.
We recommend Asimina Tours to everyone we know and will only ever use them for future travel. Thank you, Panos, for creating a trip that was not only beautiful and seamless, but truly unforgettable.

From there, Dimitri, along with his partner Christina, put together an amazing package that allowed us to see all the sights. We went to Venice, Como, Milan, Florence, Rome, and Sorrento. Along the way, we had many day trips, the majority of which were fantastic. From Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Cinque Terre (a favorite), the Vatican, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Capri, it was a once in a lifetime experience and we had the most amazing time. Other highlights of the trip were the wine tasting in Tuscany and the private cooking class in Sorrento.
They were also very accommodating with some last minute trip ideas. About 2 months prior to leaving, I had learned that one of my favorite bands, Queens of the Stone Age, were going to be performing in Italy while we were there. We contacted Dimitri and he was able to rearrange our hotel and travel accommodations, including a last minute domestic flight, without any issues. Dimitri and Christina made the entire process run smoothly. All of our travel tickets and hotel reservations were all available through the app. Our hotels were centrally located and were within walking distance from the major attractions. We really appreciated the private transportation arrangements to take us from the hotels to the train stations/airports, as well as the private tours. If you are planning on going to the Mediterranean area of Europe, I would highly recommend using Asimina Tours, they were awesome.
