Uncle George is in Faliron Naval Museum between the area of Palaion Faliron and Faliron Olympic Complex (Tae Kwon Do and Beach Volley stadiums). 5 minutes from a tram (light rail) station.
I don't know about tours. Inside the ship there were seats and a big plasma screen, so I guess when you go there with a group some kind of presentation is organised. I didn't see any guide around though (we went a little bit late 30 minutes before they closed the gates).
If you like exploring you'll have the chance of going even deep down 4 levels to the engines / boilers (we did that). Man if this ship was hit badly, there was no chance whatsoever that the engineers / technicians to get out. Very tight and steep stairs.
If you are interested, I can post the full resolution photos plus some others I havn't posted in rapidshare.
Best,
