Melina picked us up at our ship, and was so knowledgeable. She shared information regarding Greece, the Greek Gods, and the museum. She was attentive, friendly and made sure we were having a great time and comfortable.

We had a fantastic trip with Evangelos to Delphi! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We were transported in a very new and clean MB van. In addition to learning about the history of Delphi and the surrounding region, it was fun to learn about the perspectives of an Athenian on everything from international basketball to local politics. He engaged just as naturally with us as with our teenage sons. We would highly recommend this tour!

George was great best driver to date
He was fun, provided lots of information, great with our group of 6 woman.
Provided bathroom breaks as the ride from Athens was 3 hours each way.
Hopefully you will get George Hantzos are your trip.

George was a delightful, interesting and very knowledgeable driver, with much insight. His selection for our lunch spot was excellent and our meal and experience were most enjoyable. Our private guide in Delphi, Mariel, was fascinating and also quite knowledgeable. Both guides were very accommodating to our needs. It was a perfect day in every way!

It’s really just transport to and from Delphi
You’re on your own once there
Do your own research because it’s a great setting and experience

Our driver and guide George was excellent. Delphi is beautiful and we had an amazing lunch with a beautiful view after touring the ruins and the museum. Bus drive was about 2.5 hours there (stopped for a bathroom break!) and about 2 hours on the way back. I would highly recommend this tour and George!

A great trip to the mountains. The views and sites are beautiful. The lunch spot the tour guide recommended was delicious and the view was spectacular! Wear good shoes. Lots of uphill and downhill walking.

We had a fabulous day in Delphi! The scenery is gorgeous with the mountainous terrain and the ruins and museum are amazing! Loannis was wonderful and didn’t make us feel rushed while enjoying everything that the day offered. He chose a delicious place for us to have lunch which had a beautiful view and nice ambiance. Walking the charming village of Arachova afterwards was enjoyable. The whole day was a 10 and we highly recommend this trip with Loannis. Thanks so much for a memorable day on our 1st trip to Greece!
