5.00Very scenic drive from Athens into the mountains, excellent commentary from the guide throughout the trip. Plenty of time to view the different sites at your own pace. The provided guidebook for the Delphi archaeological site was a great resource. The restaurant stopped at for lunch was fantastic. Special thanks to our guide for making the trip excellent.
Epic, memorable tour; great for families who like adventure!

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful day. Our tour was memorable and everything we hoped it would be. We were nervous... There was a significant amount of driving and we have 5 kids ranging from 6 to 14 years old. But our driver kept everyone hydrated, kept us moving on schedule, was full of amazing historical information and shared so much with us. The archeological site at Delphi was something we will never forget. We had time to take in the museum and the site itself; we highly recommend hiking to the very top to see the stadium! The drive up to the caves is nerve wrecking but our tour guide does it regularly...and the inside of the cave is so worth the drive! Thermopylae was something we were so excited to see and it was also amazing. Our guide was so helpful in explaining what we were seeing and helping us visualize the battle, since the landscape has changed so much. I cannot recommend this tour any more highly, it was epic!
Wonderful experience with great views!

5.00We highly recommend this unique tour. You won’t regret it! The small group makes the experience much more pleasant. But what was really great about this tour is the unique itinerary. There is no other tour going to all these sites that we could find. The visit to the Corycian caves is quite an experience as well. The off road mountain trail to get there is very exciting for those who like a little more adventure. The guide was wonderful as well! Very pleasant and very knowledgeable. At first glance I thought it was a little expensive compared to others but it is very much worth it!!!
Excellent tour

5.00If you love history, do this. Delphi is amazing. Plan to have waiter and recommend no sandals. It is slippery with a lot of steps. Our tour guide, Desponia, took great care of us.
A day to always remember
