Pleasant but Short

5.00Lydia was an excellent guide and provided context prior to, during and after every visit to every place that helped better understand the cultural and historic significance of what we have seen. Panos, the driver, was really nice and polite during the whole trip. We only wish we got to stay a little bit more in each place to explore but otherwise was a really educational and beautiful experience.
So Great!

3.00The tour was well organized and the tour leader was very knowledgeable. I would have liked some warning that the climb to the top was very laborious for older tourists. I also found the guide repeated a lot of things, and would have preferred to be told once at the site rather than on the bus and at the site as my brain could not understand anything. And there were so many descriptions of where this and that word came from the Greek language and what it meant. I would have preferred stories of the history more. But apart from that the tour was very enjoyable.
Good tour

4.00Very informative guide and good driver . Wished that we had had longer to visit the areas of Delphi when not accompanied by the guide , felt a bit rushed . Also would have liked a bit longer to explore lunchtime stop so could have visited some of the lovely looking shops and cafes which had great views although lunch good in recommended restaurant ( but no view !)
Very good
