It was a very good, but long day. Pan was an excellent driver and guide. I thought the Thermopylae/ Spartan tour was not worth the extra travel time. If it had finished at the cave, it would have been better.
Good but could be better

It's a 12 hour excursion that should be 10 max. Very good guide. The van was uncomfortable, there are only 6 seats so my wife and I had to ride in separate rows. They stop for a 90 minute lunch at the restaurant of their choice. Again the guide was great. He spoke into a Bluetooth so the back row could hear but it echoed so no one could understand anything.

We loved this tour to Delphi, the Corycian Cave, and Thermopolae. It's a full on day as there is a distance to travel to get there, but it is so worth it. This is one of the very few that go to the Cave which makes it unique. The driver/guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable. The lunch stop was really nice too.

The guide was great. The trip was interesting, but we traveled in a very small cramped vehicle. I actually skipped a tour for the next day which was also going to be in a small vehicle at the loss of about $250. They packed six people in this minivan and could’ve packed a seventh when there should’ve been no more than five people in my opinion.
Really enjoyable day out.

I really enjoyed my day trip. Clear instructions were given for pick up and the guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. What was important to me was that there was plenty of time given at the places we visited. Other trips I have been on have been rushed,but not this one. We were given plenty of time to explore the various locations. I would totally recommend this experience and I would be very happy to go on other trips with this guide/ Tour company.
