4.00The communication from the operators was excellent, the bus driver and tour guide were also wonderful and knowledgeable and very patient. The three star hotel option would probably be a two star in any other place in Europe. Paper thin walls, the coffee at breakfast was awful, and we had school groups in the same hotel who were making noise all night and knocking on doors of other visitors to cause trouble. I'm guessing the school groups stayed there because it was the cheapest option. The staff at the hotel were amazing and it was clean, but we expected much better facilities given how much the cost and reputation of the tour operator.
Good Sites to visit

4.00The visits to Adelphi and Meteora were definitely worth it but the travel time to and from was a bit much. More time spent on the bus than visiting the sites. The guide was great. Hotel accommodations and meals were very good

5.00Easy and less rushed way to visit Delphi and Meteora. Decent amount of stops along the way to use the bathroom and stretch your legs. Our guide was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Definitely worth choosing the 4-star hotel option. I was happy to be at the Amalia Hotel. It was a really nice hotel and seemed to be a lot better than the hotels that others in our group were placed.

5.00Delphi and Meteora are really spectacular. The monasteries of Meteora are particularly breaktaking, the art, the architecture, the geography of the hills. There’s a few tips and tricks that would be helpful - Delphi especially was very cold, it actually snowed while we were there. Meteora has a dress code, we knew that but it seemed a lot of people on the tour had no idea. Our biggest issue was that the bus was too cramped for my 6’3” husband. He was uncomfortable the whole time in the bus, but the rest of the trip was great.
