Amazing Tour with Panos - Our family had an Amazing 2 days tour of Delphi and Meteora with our driver Panos - a super friendly, nice professional who made the trip even more memorable. The drive was smooth, comfortable. Panos helped us prioritize and plan our day carefully, while still managing to get our itinerary completed well in time. The climb up to the ancient stadium was well worth the effort, as is the adjoining museum and the artifacts kept there.. The monasteries at Meteora are breathtakingly beautiful, and we managed to visit quite a few..also stopped by to take incredible pictures Our 1 night stay in Meteora (included as part of the Tour) was excellent. Panos took us to a nice restaurant for traditional Greek dinner - the guesthouse had nicely furnished rooms, and provided us a hearty breakfast the next morning.. Panos was always courteous and caring all the way through. Highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in exploring ancient Greek history.

Paros is a star... best driver and best tour - We booked a family tour with this company and loved every minute of our journey. Our driver (Panos) was an absolute star. From start to finish he was obliging, informative, courteous and good humoured as he drove us to Delfoi and Meteora, with a stop at Thermopoly to visit the famous 300 Spatlrtain monument. We had such a great time and loved every minute. Thanks to the company and an even bigger thanks to Panos, you made this a very special and memorable trip for our family.

Great experience - We took the 3 day, 2 night tour of Olympia, Delphi, Thermopylae and Meteora. We had a great time and saw a lot in a very short time. If you're considering a cheaper bus tour vs this one, you really want to think it through. Our driver, Panos, was friendly and knew all about local history and lore. If we wanted to stop for food or a bathroom break, there was no problem. He kept us entertained during the long drive. When we went out for drinks, he talked the restaurant owner into letting him make (my daughter swears) the best drink she's ever had. When we went to the monasteries, we were in and out while the "bus tour" folks were standing around waiting (in the heat) for the rest of their group. I can't emphasize enough how crowded all these sites are with tourists and how great it is to have a driver who knows where to go and how to steer you around the masses. This was really worth the money. Thanks Panos!!!

Amazing highlights of the trip with an excellent guide - We would like to thank our guide/driver, Panos, for being the most amazing & friendly guide we have met. We really hit it off from the start, with Panos, who speaks excellent English, being really friendly & helpful. We booked the tour to visit Delphi, Thermopylae, & Meteora. After visiting the islands, these places put us in the mountains, surrounded by nature & breathtaking ancient ruins. We were so blown away by these ancient ruins at Delfi/Delphi! The Temple of Athena Pronoia is so beautiful although I nearly missed it because I didn't want to go down the slopes in my platform sandals (please wear proper shoes!). Panos happily shared with us the history & little anecdotes of Delphi during the drive. Next, we were brought to the Thermopylae battlefield where the Greek forces faced off the Persian forces. Again, Panos explained to us about the history & his sense of humour also made us remember the facts better. Afterwards, we headed to the beautiful Meteora. Do visit the sunset if you have a chance! The next morning, we visited the spectacular Monasteries. The Meteora is a rock formation (not meteor rocks like I thought hahaha) where the monasteries are built upon. Panos entertained us by driving us around the monasteries & stopping by the road (when it's safe & proper, of course) for us to take photographs. There are definitely some steps to climb so again, wear proper footwear. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you Panos for the amazing trip.
