Incredible Day Trip - Long day but we had a great driver. We started in Meteora and that place is incredible. Lots of photo stops and then we selected one monastery to visit. It was gorgeous and the views were spectacular. The art in the chapel was breathtaking. Then we rode to Thermopylae. This is nothing impressive. They are building a museum but it’s just a field now and not really worth a stop. But then we went to Delphi and that was awesome. Great museum and then climbing through the ruins was magical. Our driver was patient and gave us insight along the way. The company reached out a few days ahead and we upgraded from a sedan to a small van. Great decision since the day is long. We stopped for breakfast and lunch on our own but a delicious Greek dinner with drinks was included. Food was bountiful and we enjoyed every minute of our 12-14 hour day. I hesitated because of how long it was but in the end I’m glad we went.

Delphi was great and Sebastian was the best! - Sebastian was our tour guide for the 14 hour Delphi tour. He was incredible. He was friendly, helpful, and professional. He gave us wonderful historical insight as well as addressing to our needs. He gave us cold beverages and snacks throughout the day which were much needed and appreciated. I would highly recommend him for our next tour.

Highly recommend this day trip outside Athens - Excellent tour by Cristianos of Theodores Travel with family of four, 2 adults, 11 yr old and 14 yr old. Super informed guide who knew all the details and also shared with us much more in terms of knowledge about current Greek affairs. Cristianos is warm, professional and good natured. He made our family feel comfortable throughout the day, with snacks, water and the ability to explore things on our own time. He is engaging and loves to converse with his tourists! Meteora was an unexpected highlight with its geographic formations and mind boggling architecture as well as incredible artwork in the chapels. Thermopylae requires some imagination (and watch or re-watch 300 before you go!) but is still worth the short stop there to take in the site’s significance. Delphi also a true highlight of our visit to Greece. Beautiful setting, tons of ruins and friendly staff. The museum is small but full of well preserved ancient items and statues. Cristiano is young, hardworking and has taken it upon himself to learn so much about the history of these sites. He also knows tons about Athens. Highly recommend this experience.

Majestic - Wow! Just wow! Delphi and Meteora were absolutely amazing! Well worth the long day. I cannot wait to see what Greece does to make Thermopylae and majestic stop. Paddy was an absolutely wonderful tour guide. His knowledge of the history was unbelievable. His van was stocked with all the drinks we could ever need and snacks.

Fantastic tour - The tour is amazing. The places are beautiful and have a rich history. Cristos was an excellent guide. Pay attention to his explanations so you can answer his funny quiz at the end.

It's a souvlaki, not a gyro! - Awesome locations! Totally worth (someone else making) the drive and time. Our driver, Ozzy, knew exactly when to point out special spots for us to check out. Ozzy gave us some background and historical information along the way so we can better appreciate what we're seeing. Ozzy also knew exactly when to let us take a nap! The meal at the end was DE-lish. Since we can't tell the difference between a tourist trap and a legit local restaurant, Ozzy recommended a few places for us to dine and enjoy a legit souvlaki (not gyro!). 11/10 would recommend!
