  Wow! Saying that this excursion was “amazingly” doesn’t do it justice. It was an absolute highlight and felt very special. Our driver (and very knowledgeable guide!), Marselo, was one of the kindest people we’d met on our trip and he was very attentive. Always checking to see if we needed water, if we needed to stop off for a snack, etc. … which was much appreciated given how much driving this experience involves. The stops - Meteora and Delpi - felt so “otherworldly” in the best way. The sheer scale and architectural magnificence of Meteora was matched by the antiquity and sacredness of Delphi. Arachova wad excellent and, although it is still being built up, the monument / commemoration of Thermopylae was cool. Capping things off with authentic Greek salad, tzatziki, and moussaka was an excellent way to close out the day. If you are debating taking this trip and whether it is worth the money, debate no further. Book it and start getting excited and prepare to have your breath taken away.

• Good but some advice

  So to start with the good - Meteora and Delphi were spectacular. The food at dinner was fine. Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. However, our guide could use some feedback for improvement in the professionalism department. So some advice. First, be on time for pick up and if you are going to be late, call. We were supposed to be picked up at 6:00 but heard nothing from the driver (we called the drivers number several times with no answer) until he called at 6:30 and finally showed up at 6:45. Second, tread carefully when discussing religion and politics - things can get heated quickly. Third, be aware of your clients comfort - the drivers seat was pushed all the way back crunching the person in back behind him. Fourth, please don’t make jokes about your clients’ age, weight, appearance. That’s not a good way to earn tips. Finally, please be aware of the comfort of your passengers when driving - driving 150+ km/hr can make some passengers uncomfortable. Overall a good trip but some feedback was required here.

  We were picked up promptly and got to a coffee shop quickly. It was much needed leaving at 6:00 am. Seeing the countryside and the mountains was such a surprise to me. We loved seeing all the monasteries in Meteora. They are just like you see in the pictures. Ozzy gave us several stories about so much history. He is very knowledgeable. He took us to a place to grab a bite to eat on the road. The battlefield was interesting and Delphi was a great finish of another Ancient Greece temple and ruins. This museum was a great display. Dinner was good too. We highly recommend this tour!

• You best choice for high-quality day trips out of Athens

  Mike (anglicized, but a local Greek guide) was an absolutely wonderful guide. He was punctual, attentive to individual needs, excellent English skills, highly informative. And: especially kudos to his stamina, he criss-crossed the Greek mainland with us, sometimes on curvy (but also beautiful) mountain roads within a day, showing the true highlights and amazing hidden spots off the beaten track. We could not have asked for a better, and most importantly, more authentic guide with local knowledge to show us the Greek heartland. Any reader should note: you won’t find the amazing combination of Meteoras and Delphi anywhere else. If you want to the see the very best of what you can do within a day trip starting out of Athens (if you are into real Greek culture, history and gorgeous vistas, not just on the beach), then Mike is definitely your man. We would recommend him to any traveler as your best bet for a tour guide out of Athens, regardless of your specific choice of destination. 5 Stars through and through !!!

• Lot of money for just a driver, not a tour guide

  Overall, we paid USD 773 for just a driver Pros: very professional driver, on time, driving in a very safely and timely manner, nice vehicle. That’s why we don’t put just 1 star but 2 Cons: despite the high cost of the tour, there was no guide, just driver with no knowledge of the places and history at all Meteora: - driver was not aware of which temple we were visiting (he had to ask name of temple to a person on the street) - first temple was closed, driver told us to wait. After some time, my friend decided to go to ask and a signal in the entrance indicated that temple was closed on Mondays! - months before the tour we asked tour operator for specific spot in Meteora. They told us they knew the spot and promised to go there, however when we arrived they had no clue on where the spot was, and instead of acknowledging they lied to us, they still gave us wrong information and location. In the end, we found the spot with my friend by looking at the temples. Thermopylae: - driver didn’t come with us to any of the spots of the trip. In this spot he gave us misleading indications so we never reached the wall after walking in circles. When coming back to the car and complaining about that, driver said wall was there as “he had seen it by himself” Delphi: - all “good”, however as in the rest of the places we had to go around the place all by ourselves with no guide at all In general: - my friend had to ask driver several times to turn up air conditioning as it was very low despite the heat - despite tour indicates there will be beverages and even wine, we only got water
