5.00Another superb offering from Pericles Century. We had the good fortune to travel with Periklis’ son Dimitrios and it was a good opportunity to compare a youthful perspective with those of the more experienced drivers of earlier tours. We thoroughly enjoyed the sites visited and the perspectives presented as we journeyed. Delphi is a revelation and Thermopyles is quite a sobering experience. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality!

5.00Our driver Dimitris was incredibly kind and professional. From the very beginning, he maintained excellent communication, clearly explaining the itinerary and setting expectations for the day's schedule. Visiting the archaeological site of Delphi was an unforgettable experience, and Dimitris provided insightful information about its history along the way. The stop at Thermopylae was equally impressive, as Dimitris pointed out key landmarks and shared fascinating stories about the famous battle. He made sure we had enough time to explore each location at our own pace without feeling rushed. On our way back to Athens, Dimitris recommended a lovely restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal in a picturesque setting. His knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire day truly special. We are so grateful for this experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore these breathtaking sites outside of Athens. Thank you, Dimitris, for a memorable day!
