Disappointing. Poor value for the money!

Karen_S, Oct 2024

This was a rather expensive tour but sounded wonderful in the description but it was NOT at all as described! The tour guide was knowledgeable yet didn’t account for travelers and just got out of the bus and split. One of the guests fell getting out of the bus and several of us stopped momentarily to assist and ahe was long gone and we followed another group until we found our way. She had no idea 8 people were missing from her group. This was the very first stop. We spend at least 3 hours on the way at lunch on our own and two poorly chosen comfort stops ungodly crowded. We spend little time in Delphi. We booked the superior room and got a room the size of a closet-old and facing a back wall! Dinner was a buffet open an coughed on as our hotel was packed with Chinese guests! Breakfast the San. We are neither! The staff at the hotel was great and we found things to pay for that were not rampaged and spit upon! Hugely disappointing!! We spend less than 5 minutes at Thermopyly onto the next long bathroom break! Meteora was amazing but I would NOT recommend this tour again lol!!! I travel w tensely and use Viatour exclusively and this is not Viatour standard!!

Cannot sum up the experience in few words

SUNIL_R, Apr 2024

Must Visit itinerary in Greece. Beautiful, scenic, historical, philosophical and legendary. A symphony of Art, beauty, nature and human coming together in one place. Our tour guide Anastasia is one of the best. Great knowledge, fluent eloquent English speaking guide with full of charm and humor. A great place to remember for birth of Orthodox Christianity and persecution of early Christian martyrs. Iconography is sight to watch and learn from early days as old as 16th century. A sight of mountain top monasteries is a testimony to early days human strength, courage and wisdom. Finally I learned few Greek words ‘Alamira’ meaning good morning amount others.

Personal opinion

batel_d, Sept 2023

Felt a bit too fast. Would recommend getting a 3 day minimum for this kind of trip, since we spent all the time driving. The guide was awesome and our driver was the best

Delphi and Meteora 2 days tour.

Hiroshi_K, Sept 2023

The tour was a nice one as expected. However, there was many bus changes on the first day, and some guide’s English is not one of the best; however, we were fine as far as carefully listen to the person. Except for those, everything was good as expected.

Astounding views but tour needs an upgrade

Robin_R, May 2023

Meteora is a place like no other and really should be seen. It is Astounding. Delphi is also unique and Historical. We should be told more details when signing up for this tour, though. I had no idea I would be on a bus for five hours; mapping it beforehand didn't tell us this. We should know in advance the actual itinerary--are we seeing Delphi first or second and in which town are we staying the night and will the monasteries require wearing skirts (sexist)? This is a LONG journey and people should be prepared. Also, the tour guides speak about Greek myths as if they are fact and do not provide interesting information. The closest return point to where we needed to be in Athens was literally on the side of the road, with our luggage and then we had to walk half a mile to our meeting spot. If we were not fit, we wouldn't have been able to manage. Good value but do provide more details in the future.

Outstanding private tour of Mycenae, Epidaurus and Nafplio

mksander, May 2023

Wonderful day tour. Our driver Panos was very professional and friendly. He provided additional history of the area and we were able to see all the sites at a nice pace without feeling rushed. The lunch stop in Nafplio was delicious in a lovely location. Overall the tour was excellent.

Our guide to Delphi was...

Satyajit_V, Apr 2023

Our guide to Delphi was not that great. Our young lay guide To Meteora was fantastic. The pace of the trip was about right.

Great experience with 2 day Delphi & Meteora tour

Brittnay_A, May 2022

I was very impress with bour our tour guide's knowledge of the area, and their way of providing facts and information along the bus ride as well as while we were at the sites. (Maria for Delphi, and Anthony for Meteora). The bus rides were comfortable, and we met some great people as well. They made frequent stops for rests etc which was appreciated, and everything was very nice (except the beds in the hotel in Kalambaka!). We're very glad we did this 2 day tour and would definitely recommend it.

Great trip

Tom-D, Sept 2021

My wife and I took this tour two weeks ago and it was great! The bus picked us up about 5 minutes from our hotel because it couldn't get to where we were, but picked up others right in front of their hotels. Our bus driver was very good and our tour guide Marianna was wonderful!!!! Be aware that the total bus time each day is around 5 hours, but broken up by bathroom/coffee breaks every 2 hours. The first stop was Delphi, which was very nice--as other reviews have stated it is quick--maybe an hour and a half. This is followed almost immediately by a lunch stop at a nice Taverna. Then there is another few hour drive to Meteora. The hotel was very nice (we chose the better option), but the buffet dinner was not so great and the only reason this is not a five star review. Bus picked us up after buffet breakfast (not so bad) and took us to two monasteries, which were the highlight of the trip! A few beautiful picture stops along the way and then time for the long drive back to Athens. A lunch break after an hour or so, another bathroom break two hours later. We were staying in a different area than our pick up, so were left to get a cab, but that was okay. Definitely worth the bus time--we napped, etc...

Excellent tour

Linda_O, Oct 2019

This was an excellent tour and I highly recommend. Our driver Vasili and tour guide Anastasia were wonderful. Very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Great trip!
