The communication from...

Phill_C, Oct 2025

The communication from the operators was excellent, the bus driver and tour guide were also wonderful and knowledgeable and very patient. The three star hotel option would probably be a two star in any other place in Europe. Paper thin walls, the coffee at breakfast was awful, and we had school groups in the same hotel who were making noise all night and knocking on doors of other visitors to cause trouble. I'm guessing the school groups stayed there because it was the cheapest option. The staff at the hotel were amazing and it was clean, but we expected much better facilities given how much the cost and reputation of the tour operator.

We are really delighted because we understand that you are totally satisfied from the core parts of the tour, such as : the communication and organization from the tour operator, the bus driver and tour guide (wonderful, knowledgeable and very patient) and the staff of the hotel and its cleanliness.

Its importance is even tot in schools all around the world in order to «see» the books in real life. As result of this many school groups visiting the area and sometimes its inevitable to not meet such groups, since occasionaly happens to have a lot of them at the same time in the area.

Good Sites to visit

Joseph_A, Sep 2025

The visits to Adelphi and Meteora were definitely worth it but the travel time to and from was a bit much. More time spent on the bus than visiting the sites. The guide was great. Hotel accommodations and meals were very good

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Highly Recommend

O_C, Sep 2025

Easy and less rushed way to visit Delphi and Meteora. Decent amount of stops along the way to use the bathroom and stretch your legs. Our guide was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Definitely worth choosing the 4-star hotel option. I was happy to be at the Amalia Hotel. It was a really nice hotel and seemed to be a lot better than the hotels that others in our group were placed.

Great places to visit

Jennifer_P, Mar 2025

Delphi and Meteora are really spectacular. The monasteries of Meteora are particularly breaktaking, the art, the architecture, the geography of the hills. There’s a few tips and tricks that would be helpful - Delphi especially was very cold, it actually snowed while we were there. Meteora has a dress code, we knew that but it seemed a lot of people on the tour had no idea. Our biggest issue was that the bus was too cramped for my 6’3” husband. He was uncomfortable the whole time in the bus, but the rest of the trip was great.

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for the « 2-Day Delphi Meteora Tour From Athens», since this is the only way to improve our services and understand any possible issues. We sincerely appreciate your insights and acknowledge your comments. Indeed, during winter times you can expect low temperates and even snow while during summer the exact opposite-high temperates and humid enivroment. Ultimately, the above challenges plus the whole bus «ordeal» will bare fruit-once you see and experience for the first time what the monasteries and beautiful scenery of Meteora & Delphi have to offer. We hope to welcome you back soon on another tour to explore more of Greece’s wonders! Stamatis Filippis (Owner/Manager)

Do this trip!

Catherine_W, Mar 2025

If you have the time you should do this excursion. The drive from Athens has it all. Beautiful mountains, farmland etc. it’s a great way to see the countryside. Delphi is beautiful and majestic. Meteora is other worldly, so interesting! I highly recommend this trip!

Unfirgettable Meteora and Delphi tour

Tour guide Christina and bus driver Yianni kept us on schedule and informed and we had a great time. Would highly recommend this tour with top notch archaeological and religious sites with incredible views and vistas

Great decision

Ian_M, Sep 2024

So glad I chose this tour! Delphi is special with its history and views. The highlight was Meteora given the unbelievable views and the two monasteries we visited. Our guide Eleni made it unforgettable with her knowledge and passion for the site. Go for it!

Worth the long bus ride

James_O, Oct 2023

The views of the monasteries were incredible! Our driver and tour guide were skilled and knowledgeable. The 3 star hotel was new and very nice. Not enough time in Delphi on the 2 day trip. Overly crowded in the monasteries.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Mr. James, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for the 2-Day Delphi Meteora Tour From Athens, since this is the only way to improve our services and understand any possible issues. We are happy to hear that our guide and driver where skilled and knowledgeable. We accept and we do understand that more time should be spent on this wonderful and important site. But there are several technical issues that do not allow us to do it. In one day we have to cover more than 600 Km by bus, in order to visit Delphi and arrive early afternoon in Kalambaka. Both sites of Delphi and Meteora are really worldwide know, so sometimes many visitors could be found there at the same moment. Stamatis Filippis (Owner/Manager)

Unique experience

Diane_S, May 2023

Very organized. Expectations met as far as scenery and over all experience. Bus ride was too long but we were offered to stop every 2 hours.

Excellent excursion and great guide!

Amy_J, May 2023

Anastasia was a wonderful guide! Extremely knowledgeable, informative, and willing to answer all questions. Sunny disposition and great sense of humor. The locations of Delphi and Meteora were amazing. I was especially intrigued with the monasteries located on top of these great rock formations at Meteora - this place was the highlight of the excursion for me!

The good and bad

Jay_C, Apr 2023

The tour guide George was very good. He is one of the highlights. With rich knowledge of Orthodox Christian history, he also went above and beyond to explain many interesting details. The hotel at Mateora was below standard. The claim of being 4 star was a lie. The room is fairly basic. There was only one glass for two of us and there was no plastic or paper cups for use. The location was away from the town. The sites were good but the long bus rides were dragging. The first day launch place was good but the second was so bad.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Jay Cheng, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for our tour, since this is the only way to improve our services. We are so happy to hear our guide was above your expectations, with rich knowledge of Orthodox Christian history. Also, we are happy to hear that the sites included in the tour were worthwhile. Unfortunately, bus lines are the only consistent means of transportation to see and experience as many points of interest and attractions as possible, especially in such a limited time period of 2 days. We understand that sometimes this might be tiring. The hotel being as disappointing as you described is a sad thing to hear. Although kindly be informed that the hotel is certified as a 4* by all necessary regulations. Our goal is always to exceed your expectations! If there’s anything we can help you with during your next visit, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We hope to see you soon! Stamatis Filippis (Owner/Manager)

Soial ein richtig schönes Erlebnis mit sehr guter Reiseleiterin ab Delphi

Albert_H, May 2024

Wir sind in eine 4Tage Gruppe integriert worden. Diese Teilnehmer hatten ein Reiseprogramm. Keiner der 9 Teilnehmer die von der Delphi-Tour nach Meteora weitergereist sind hatte einen Reiseplan und keine Empfänger für die Führungen. Mehr Zeit in Delphi wäre angebracht

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Albert, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for our 2-Day Delphi Tour from Athens, since this is the only way to improve our services. Firstly, Delphi is a popular destination, attracting numerous visitors daily. At certain times the site can become quite crowded. To ensure that everyone has the opportunity to explore this historic site, we sometimes need to manage the flow of visitors more strictly. This helps prevent overcrowding and ensures the preservation of the site's delicate structures and artifacts, which are crucial to our mission. Additionally, guided tours are a common way for visitors to experience Delphi. These tours are scheduled to provide a comprehensive overview of the site's highlights, and while they offer valuable insights, their fixed schedules may inadvertently limit the time available for personal exploration. We understand that this might not always align with every visitor's pace or preference for more leisurely sightseeing. While we greatly appreciate your perspective, we respectfully disagree with the specific point regarding the merge with other people from the 4-Day Tour. The fact that you were merged with another small group could not impact you in any way negatively since both groups had the same goal: to visit and see Delphi and Meteora. You simply had a different starting point but your closure of your journey remains the same. Also, the complaint of not having any kind of tour / travel program is not true since you can find your whole 2 Day Schedule with details on your reservation profile in Viator. Your feedback is essential to us, and we are committed to continually improving our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more enjoyable experience.

Superbes endroits mais experience décevante.

Chantal_P, Oct 2023

Delphes et les meteores de Kalamba sont des endroits magnifiques! Toutefois, notre experience fut décevante! Avec un aussi gros groupe et un gros bus, nous confirmons que cela ne correspond pas à nore profil de voyageurs. Nous opterons plus tôt pour des excursions en petits groupes à l’avenir ou nous organiserons nous même nos excursions pour avoir notamment : un hotel qui correspond à nos standards plus elevés que ceux de l’hotel attribué (pas dutout un 4 etoiles mais plutot un 2⭐️ et pour avoir une experience un peu plus personnalisée. Point positif: excellent conducteur et guide tres accueillante!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Mrs. Chantal, Thank you for taking the time to post a review for our tour, since this is the only way to improve our services. We are so happy to hear that the guide and the bus driver were above your expectations, excellent and welcoming. Also, we are happy to hear that the sites included in the tour were magnificent and unique. The hotel being as disappointing as you described is a sad thing to hear. Although kindly be informed that the hotel is certified as a 4* by all necessary regulations. Unfortunately in small towns of the province the hotels met are not always in comparison with the level hotel of a big city such as Athens. Finally we could understand that the size of this group might not match your travel profile, but allow us to not accept this one as a claim since it is clearly stated under the additional tour info section that : «This tour/activity will have a maximum of 50 travelers». Furthermore please take into consideration that small group tours might have a cost that is 2 or 3 times higher than this one. Our goal is always to exceed your expectations! If there’s anything we can help you with during your next visit, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We hope to see you soon! Stamatis Filippis (Owner/Manager)

Très belle excursion !

Jacinthe_D, Aug 2022

La visite à Delphes est très intéressante et notre guide connait très bien sa matière. Seule déception c'est qu'on voit seulement de très loin le Tholos de Marmaria qui est pourtant la photo la plus publiée pour représenter Delphes. Notre hôtel à Kalambaka, un 3* est super bien située, confortable, balcon vue piscine et excellent déjeuner. Nous prenons une marche après le souper pour admirer les montagnes éclairées et les petites rues du village. L'arrêt à Arachova en vaut la peine même si c'est trop court pour tout parcourir. Bien sûr, les Météores sont un ''must'' à visiter. Les paysages grandioses et inusités, les jardins de ces monastères et la richesse de leurs intérieurs nous éblouissent. Très bon rapport qualité/prix.
