5.00This was a wonderful tour - we covered many places and learned so much. From Delphi to Corycian Cave to Thermopylae - all was wonderful and informative. Our guide was excellent, providing information that highlighted the gorgeous countryside and the history of the areas we visited. This tour provided something for our whole family - Spartans and Oracles and Caves! Plus the lunch stop was superb! Highly recommend!
Great day of exploring

5.00This was a great way to get to Delphi. We had great communication from our driver and felt safe with her. There are ample stops to stretch and she knew a lot about the area. We wish we had more time at the site and less at the museum. The caves were super cool and ended but being a highlight. The Thermopylae site is still under construction so not a lot to see but if you are a history buff worth it. Would highly recommend this tour.
This was an excellent...

5.00This was an excellent excursion. Our guide Kostas was friendly and knowledgeable. Delphi and the cave were amazing stops. Arachova is beautiful. The battlefield at Thermopylae was a little underwhelming but we found out some great history about the site from our guide. The lunch stop was pretty good too. All in all a good trip and I would recommend it especially if you love history and Greek mythology.
The Tour was amazing I highly recommend

5.00The trip was an absolute must for anyone coming to this area that loves history and beautiful views. I only thought of "breathtaking" as a saying until I saw the Parnassos mountains and Delphi. The trip was capped off at Thermopylae which was a dream come true for me for many years. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, he made the trip as informative as it was fun. The van is rather comfortable and even with a full 8 people it was still a good time.
Enjoyed every minute!

5.00To begin, company communicated very well about pick up and touched base with us the morning before with an expected pick up time. Kostas arrived on time and was a phenomenal guide throughout the day. He spoke through a bluetooth mic for the first part of the drive giving us a good amount of history on the way to Arachova and Delphi. We had plenty of time at the Delphi museum and ruins. He picked a great lunch spot after that as well! The cave was incredible to experience, and Kostas really painted a full picture for the simple field and hill we saw for Thermopylae. We would not have enjoyed the last stop as much as we did with his knowledge and story telling. Would absolutely use this company and this guide again! Only complaint was an uncomfortable van that got pretty toasty in the very back row where we sat since the fans on the back of the seat stopped working. Luckily, we were with some great people who enjoyed the history and the experience too.
Amazing experience
