One of the best, very memorable . - Private tour to Delphi, Thermopylae and the monasteries Meteora. This has been one of my favorite tours I have ever taken. From 6am until 8pm. The driver, Dallas was extremely professional and it was like taking an intense course in Greek history. I can’t say enough about how Dallas made this tour exceptional. Delphi is spiritual, Thermopylae plain, but being myself half-Persian it had special meaning, and the monasteries at the top of the rock formed mountains are incredible and left me in awe. It began snowing lightly which gave it that much more of a magical expericlence. The tour ends with a dinner at a restaurant owned by the tour company in Athens where I had traditional Greek food.

An informative and pleasant journey - Paddy our guide is an expert on greek history. He shared greek history relevant to our journey whilst driving, at the same time giving us enough time to rests. We truly enjoy the journey. We booked for 4 of us as a family and the private trip is really worth the money.

Foggy in Meteora - George was phenomenal, he was a gratuitous host and a great ambassador for Greece. The weather, however was not the best for our tour but we made the best of it. Highly recommend.

Outstanding tour! - First of all, Sebastian my driver and guide, was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgable about the sites and Greece in general. He was a pleasure to spend time with and very professional with a friendly approach. The tour itself was great as well. We began with a memorial to a village lost to a Nazi atrocity. Then The Temple of Apollo and the Oracle at Delphi started things off very well. The museum was informative and the ruins interesting and they had a strong energy around them. And picturesque scenery. The monasteries were breathtaking - from location to art and decoration to the architecture. Stunning! Then on to the hot springs and Thermopylae. This was meaningful for me but I was greatly disappointed that it seems forgotten by the Greeks. I’ve toured many battlefields and this one seems neglected and forgotten. It was still well worth the visit there for me - I’d love to see it given the respect I feel it deserves. Dinner was outstanding and the service was great as well. We covered many miles and Sebastian was a safe driver and great conversationalist. Well done!

Educational Tour to Historical Delphi, Mateora and Theomopylae - Our party of 6 people thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Theomopylae, Delphi and Mateora. Both Delphi and Mateora sights are MUST SEE sights for those who visit Athens and should schedule one day just to visit these two historical sights. Theomopylae, although important historically, unfortunately has little to see. Monos, our guide, gave us not only the just the highlights of the history and stories pertaining to each sight as usual guides do, but he gave us very detailed histories of these sights. We enjoyed discussing with him history not only of Greece but also the surrounding area where Greek influence other powers surrounding them.

Meteora/Delphi Private Tour - What a trip! Meteora was amazing. The views were stunning. We recommend skipping Thermopylae - there's not much to see. Spend the extra time at Delphi. The ruins are worth it. Dallas was our guide. He was so knowledgeable about all things Greece! We recommend him for your trip.

Incredible trip - This was an incredible experience visiting Meteora and Delphi. The natural formations in Meteora was breath taking. The archeological site in Delphi was also incredible. Our guide, Stathis was knowledgable and shared both the history and mythologies beautifully.

Wonderful long day - We really wanted to see these locations and it didn't make sense to go on multiple day trips from Athens, so we were so thankful for the opportunity to fit it all into one day. Paddy was our driver. He was very informative and kind. Unfortunately we were so tired from so much travel that we fell asleep during the drives and missed some info. I would recommend fitting this into a multiple day excursion if possible, but otherwise this is a welcome option.
