Highly recommend! - If you’re trying to maximize time and pack in as much as possible, this is an ideal trip. Plenty of time to experience each stop, guide is super knowledgeable, and the van was comfortable to ride in. Highly recommend!

A Don't Miss Day Trip - We loved this tour to Delphi, the Corycian Cave, and Thermopolae. It's a full on day as there is a distance to travel to get there, but it is so worth it. This is one of the very few that go to the Cave which makes it unique. The driver/guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable. The lunch stop was really nice too.

Delphi trip - They trip was very informative. The sites amazing. The views of the mountains were breathtaking. Our guide Costas gave us plenty of time to do and see all the sites. He took us to a very good restaurant for lunch with a great view. Be prepared for a 12 hr day.

Awesome - Great tour and our guide was very informative! It was an all day excursion with some light hikes but you are able to opt out if you want. Overall a beautiful experience in the mountains of Greece worth checking out.

Really enjoyable day out. - I really enjoyed my day trip.
Clear instructions were given for pick up and the guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English.
What was important to me was that there was plenty of time given at the places we visited. Other trips I have been on have been rushed,but not this one. We were given plenty of time to explore the various locations.
I would totally recommend this experience and I would be very happy to go on other trips with this guide/ Tour company.

Integrity - This was the most amazing tour given by an amazing, insightful guide named Kostas Andriw. Other tour companies would take 2 days to see all that this company took us to see in one, and still it was at a relaxed pace. Kostas new how to make everyone feel acknowledged and well taken cate of. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and im glad i trusted this time with the right company and guide.

The guide was great. The... - The guide was great. The trip was interesting, but we traveled in a very small cramped vehicle. I actually skipped a tour for the next day which was also going to be in a small vehicle at the loss of about $250. They packed six people in this minivan and could’ve packed a seventh when there should’ve been no more than five people in my opinion.

Good but could be better - It's a 12 hour excursion that should be 10 max. Very good guide. The van was uncomfortable, there are only 6 seats so my wife and I had to ride in separate rows. They stop for a 90 minute lunch at the restaurant of their choice.
Again the guide was great. He spoke into a Bluetooth so the back row could hear but it echoed so no one could understand anything.

Horrible…Cramped and Dark Older MINIVAN!…BEWARE! - Beware! If it says “Minivan” it is an older “MINIVAN” I have been traveling through the Greek Isles for the past 14 days. I have taken 4 other guided tours. Three were in very comfortable modern vans and one on a larger bus. All previous excursions were extremely comfortable and pleasant experiences. I would recommend all of the four previous tour guides. However, this was an awful experience. I got off the van before it left City Center and walked back to my room. I am claustrophobic and this van was overcrowded, low overhead, warm and dark. It may say “air conditioned” but that does not mean “cooled”. Even the driver was sweating before l exited. The seats are extremely cramped if traveling with adults. There was the driver and two adults in the front seat, 3 adults in the middle (myself and two co travelers), and three full sized men from New Zealand in the rear who also complained. This tour involves several one and two hour drives between the sights and return. If you are traveling in a party of three or more and to want to be comfortable and have truly fulfilling experience do yourself a favor and book one of the tours providing Mercedes E Class transportation. You won’t regret it. But if you take this tour in the “MINIVAN” you will most likely end your tour day in disappointment and dissatisfaction. You have been WARNED!
