Paddy - best tour guide - Paddy is awesome. He picked us up early in the morning with a smiling face, offered coffee on the road and then perfect description of the next place you will be visiting including history, timeline, points of interest and many other tips. His driving on the hillside was very safe and he was all the time concerned about safety. Always, select him as your tour guide and you will be very happy like us. Thanks, Paddy for such an excellent service.

We absolutely loved our... - We absolutely loved our driver Paddy! He was so accommodating from pickup to drop off. He knew everything about Greece and all of the stories, myths and facts that made the visit even more enjoyable. It was a bit rainy and foggy by the time we got to meteora so we weren’t able to see much of the monasteries from the cliff top, but we were able to go inside one of them and it was so unique ! Never thought I’d be able to say I went inside an Ancient Greek monastery on top of a cliff. Overall it was a great day with the exception of the rain.

Great Tour!! Great Driver!! - Great Tour!!! Our driver/tour guide was PADDY. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We visited Delphi, Meteora and had dinner at traditional Greek restaurant with amazing food. At the end of the tour he gave my family a wonderful gift. In addition, he went out of his way to return my sun glasses to our hotel after I forgot them in his mini van. Thank you PADDY!!

Great event, learned a lot! - A very nice day trip with excellent care, you can't do it better! First Delphi, then Meteora and then Thermopylae on the way back. In the end there was a very good meal in a newly opened restaurant. Start on time at 6:00, end around 20:00. Our guide Paddy was GREAT, thank you!

Amazing day in Delphi, Meteora and Thermopylae - The trip was wonderful and Paddy was an outstanding guide. The weather was rainy as this is winter- but Paddy thought through the itinerary so that we maximized the visits to Delphi, Meteora and Thermopylae. Truly a memorable trip. Long day- but worth every moment!

Fantastic tour of Delphi and Meteora - We had Paddy as our tour guide and he was wonderful. We did a private tour and he was very kind, made us feel very comfortable and looked after our needs. He took the time to give us history about each of the sites before we visited them. Highly recommend this tour.

Awesome sights and learnt a ton of Ancient Greek history from our tour guide Paddy - Our day started at 6 AM in old Athens. Paddy our tour guide was on time and super courteous exemplifying the Greece hospitality to visitors a cultural distinction that dates back to Ancient Greek times. His enthusiasm for showing us around was only exceeded by his deep knowledge of the history. He never once rushed us and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sites despite this being a very aggressive schedule. Our family came out of the tour learning about so much Ancient Greek history without which our appreciation of the sites like Delphi and Meteora would be muted. We learnt about the Persian, Roman, Ottaman empires and WWII and how it shaped modern day Greece. The drive to Delphi and its surrounding was spectacular. Meteora is mind blowing. It exceeded any and all expectations we had on how breathtakingly beautiful not only the area but the monasteries itself. All in all Paddy made this trip the most memorable one for us. Highly recommend him.
