Wondrous places to visit!
Kristen_A, May 2024
Both Meteora and Delphi are amazing places! Paddy once again gave us the perfect day. He ensured our comfort and enjoyment all along the way. He has amazing knowledge and was so helpful to us with tips and assistance with other details of our trip in Greece! Thank you so much Paddy!

Kristy_R, May 2024
The private tour was perfect for a long day. I wanted to go to both places but didn't want to spend overnight. George I. was a great tour guide. Lots of knowledge on the sites and very attentive to all we wanted to do and see. I would highly recommend this tour.
The Best Tour Guide!
Maria_H, Apr 2024
George was our tour guide who went above and beyond our expectations. He made sure we were comfortable, and provided plenty of information about sited we were seeing. George made a long tour into a fun tour with great snacks and laughs. Definitely would recommend this tour. Ask for George you won't be disappointed!
Excellent Tour with Paddy!
LGMontez, Apr 2024
This was an amazing trip during which we visited the Meteora monasteries, Thermopylae, and Delphi. Paddy provided a ton of information on the history of each location in advance of our arrival, which provided immensely helpful context for what we would see and experience. Paddy ensured we were always comfortable, including stopping for much needed coffee before leaving Athens (tour began very early), and always offering tasty snacks and sodas (oregano potato chips were awesome!). He ensured we were able to make the absolute most of the day and we were incredibly grateful! It was a wonderful experience!
Paddy’s Tour
nikole_D, Apr 2024
Tour with Paddy. He is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He will answer all your questions and provide you with thorough knowledge of Greece, from Ancient history to Present history. The lunch and dinner was delicious. He also gave detailed history of the sites we visited, very informative. I enjoyed the history from Paddy. The car ride was comfortable. Snacks and drinks were provided in the car. Thank you Paddy for the gift!

Jagdesh_G, Apr 2024
Although it was a long day but it was worth the trek to see the monasteries and Delphi. The walk around Delphi is challenging but worth it. Dallas was our driver who was knowledgeable and very passionate about his country. The dinner at the end was excellent home cooked Greek food and the best rose wine I had drunk in a long time. Thank you Dallas for a wonderful day

Scenery and history which breathtaking and awe inspiring.

If we are ever back in Athens, would definitely look for this company and this guide. Strongly recommend.

Antti_K, Mar 2024
This was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We had a very knowledgeable guide & driver Dallas and the amount of places you get to visit in one day is astonishing! A private tour definitely gave some flexibility compared to the bus tours with bigger groups.

Highly recommended, what a great experience
Sonny_T, Feb 2024
The landscapes are all great but 60% of what constitutes an amazing experience for us is Dallas, our guide + driver. He's the definition of stellar customer service and "go above and beyond" mean. His passion about his work shines through his tireless narration about Ancient Greek history & mythology for an entire trip. He's also very thorough in his answers about any topics that we threw at him. We learned so much about Greece and its people, economy, past & present. During the trip, he always carefully gives us options of where to go, when to stop, what to see to best fit of our family needs. In summary, 10 out of 10 service. Can't recommend enough about Dallas. Of course, it goes without saying how breathtaking the beauty of Meteora, the Temple of Apollo in Delphi... are Last but not least, the dinner is another surprise. It's included in the tour but Dallas makes sure it's a literally feast. We're introduced at least 10 different authentic Greek dishes at a local restaurant. It's so good that we will definitely come back next time. Thanks for a great tour and even more amazing service.

Amazing natural beauty.
Ram_G, Jan 2024
Meteors monasteries were an inceredible sight to see. The natural beauty of the place is amazing. The day is however very long. It maybe better to spend the night in Meteora and make it a two day trip.

Once in a lifetime experience!
Taylor_B, Jan 2024
What a great and once in a lifetime experience! Dimos was the best guide we’ve had on any trip, ever. He gave us a lot of good information but also gave us the freedom to explore on our own when needed. We learned so much about Greek history, culture, and customs. At the end of our day, saying goodbye to Dimos felt like saying goodbye to family!
A wonderful day trip
Yi_H, Nov 2023
Paddy is an awesome driver and guide. He told us histories of each site before we went and made the visits so much more memorable! He showed us great Greek hospitality and we felt always taken care of. Thank you, Paddy, for a wonderful day in Delphi and Meteora!

Honest Review
Cynthia_M, Nov 2023
I enjoyed hearing the history of Greece, and of Delphi in particular, from Pantelis. He is extremely knowledgeable, and his English is excellent. The car was clean, and Pantelis offered plenty of bottled water and lemonade to drink along the way. Both Delphi and Meteora are quite a hike. I recommend that your bring along snacks for the long trip. After twelve hours, I elected to forgo the dinner offering since I had eaten a wrap at 3 pm. From 6 am to 3pm there was nothing offered to eat. As I mentioned, we stopped around 3 pm for a gyro wrap in a small village. I was charged 7 euros for the same wrap I purchased the day before for 3.80 euros at Thallanos in Athens. Btw, I highly recommend Thallanos!!! Be aware of price gouging for lunch. Warning: If you are a woman, do not use the restrooms at the monasteries. Use the restroom beforehand. The toilet there is a hole in the floor. Overall, the trip was very pleasant. The rock formations at Meteora are beyond spectacular!! Delphi is worth a visit. They have a very nice museum. I would recommend the tour and the guide.

A wonderful experience to us
StanleyWingChi_S, Oct 2023
We joined a 14 hour day tour to Delphi and Meteora with George as our driver guide on October 6, 2023. George has shown us his professionalism by contacting us one day in advance and waiting at our hotel punctually. A 14 hour trip sounds a bit frightening to us at first. However George provided few stops to let us stretch our legs and grab some snacks. At the end, we found the 14 hour was nothing at all. From him we knew so much about the history and culture of the sites. We eyewitnessed the stunning sights and we could keep many valuable photos. Before we ended our trip, George bought us to a restaurant to taste local Greek seafood. It was deliciously good. Thanks to George’s good service and we highly recommend this route to someone who wants to see more and save time.

Unresponsive tour operator
SANDHYA_K, Sep 2023
Unresponsive tour operator. We had 24 hours to cancel. The day before the tour we had a death in the family and had to rush home and reached out to the tour operator and Viator to cancel and refund as a courtesy to no avail and zero response from this tour company. Very disappointing.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
First of all we want to express how sorry we are about your Lost in your family, and we hope you are Safe. Now according to your tour. You have booked a tour from a pickup location 40klm outside of Athens and we have agreed to v Come to pick you up from the very first time but we are guessing that this is unresponsive also. Secondly you have informed us about your problem 20.00 in night 10 hours before the tour We used to block an Limousine from our calendar and we lost other bookings also,we have blocked an employee that was supposed to work 14 hours for your group. And then you are asking 100% refund and we respond that we are giving back 60% for a good faith, and Now you are going against us , against to all the team with this unbelievable review.!! Are you ok ?? You are a disappointing person,also you are a hater. Iam not sure if your airline company also returned you back all the amount,..or your hotel, or other services? You can only go against poor people working hard employees Theodore Sramatis
