We enjoyed getting out of the city and into the beautiful Greek countryside.
Seeing the museum and archaeological site at Delphi made history come alive. After the site visit. we had an amazing lunch at a licsl restaurant with an incredible view of the countryside.
The hotel was comfortable. The natural formations around Meteora are breathtaking. We visited several monasteries, all with great views, and incredible artwork
Another great lunch at a small seafood taverna on the water.
Andres is outgoing, knowledgeable and took good care of us. We enjoyed our time with him

We had a wonderful time on this tour, our driver Marios was very attentive in showing us the sites. Delphie and meteora were magical, Marios made sure we were comfortable. He also helped my husband get to difficulty sites to see the view of the sunset at Meteora. The next day my granddaughter got ill and Marios ensured we were taken to the right places and even translated for us. He brought us coffee and water and what ever else we needed, he did not leave our side. Marios went above and beyond for us and made the trip memorable in more ways than one. You will not be disappointed, he will make sure you have the best time. We thank you

WOW! What a great trip! Chris was an amazing guide. Everything went so smoothly. He gave us great history lessons on our trip, and got us everywhere safe. He was right there when we were ready to go on to the next. The hotel Meteora was wonderful as well with great views. It was so nice to get out of Athens and see the country side of Athens. Would definitely book through this company again!

We really enjoyed our trip to Delphi and Meteora. Terry was an excellent guide with facts and information about all our locations. Sunset and sunrise at Meteora are spectacular! Bring water, a camera, binoculars, and hiking poles to both places. Be sure to give yourself enough time to hike up to the stadium at Delphi, it's worth the effort. We appreciated the ability to move at our own pace with our private tour and never felt rushed. Yes, we would definitely recommend this tour and Terry to others who want to explore Delphi and Meteora!
Response from Host, Jun 2025

Our guide Basilis was excellent. All his recommendations for lunch and dinner were very good. His introduction to the historic sites were very interesting. A great guide.
Joseph_S, Jun 2024
Was a great 2 day trip. The visit to Delphi was great, amazing to take in all of that history, and the museum was awesome as well. Meteora was stunning, amazing scenery, got to see sunset and then followed up with visits to 2 Monasteries the next day. Throw in a stop at Thermopylae on way back to Athens and had a full enjoyable trip. Driver/guide did a good job and was attentive to our needs, van was comfortable.
Edward_P, Jun 2024
The most memorable part of my trip was visiting the monasteries. My guide, Constantinos, expertly showed me the area and recommended the best ones to view. We saw the sun set over on June 21, the summer solstice. It was a memorable occasion thanks to Constantinos‘s knowledgeable help.
Navneet_V, Jun 2024
Our tour guide Alexander was wonderful and made our trip very pleasant and memorable. He indulged not only my husband and I but my boys (16 and11) as well. Extensive knowledge about Delphi and meteora that he shared with us throughout the trip.
Adam_S, Jun 2024
Andreas, our driver was excellent. Yes, it is expensive and indulgent (we were lucky enough to do this), however our ability to navigate what we wanted to at speed, without the mass of tourists within a coach was really special. Andreas was excellent and not only provided great historical and cultural information on our tour, was completely devoted to us having a great experiences I really couldn’t recommend Andreas enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We experienced one of our best sunsets together so far! Stunning!

Memorable part of our trip was seeing the Monastery. The tour guide was very good. She spent about an hour with us. Our driver George was polite and did his job well.

This was a wonderful excursion for the whole family. We had seen photos of Meteora, but seeing the monasteries (and all the singular rock formations) in person was a can't miss experience. It's a long drive but stopping in Delphi and then having lunch overlooking the sea made it enjoyable. And I can't say enough about our guide, Lysandros. He was knowledgeable about all the history, super sweet, helpful, and very accomodating. We are vegetarian, so he found places to eat that had foods for us. Also, we knew the second day was going to be stormy, so he got us to Meteora in time to view the monasteries (from afar) at dusk and take some gorgeous photos with the sun setting. The next day there was thunder and lightening and it was super foggy so we decided to only visit one monastery and head back to Athens. Having a private guide allowed us to change up our plans and we got to Athens in time to make an evening visit to the Acropolis - cooler and less crowds!
Response from Host, Jan 2023

Our private tour of Delphi and Meteora was absolutely phenomenal. Cannot recommend this tour enough if you have the time to visit these two sites. Our guide was a man named Alex and he went out of his way to show us all the key spots in Delphi and Meteora. If you have the chance, I would highly recommend requesting Alex for the tour. The history of Delphi and the inexplicably breathtaking view of Meteora are must-see experiences. Our drive from Athens to each of these locations was smooth and extremely comfortable as well. On our way back from Meteora, we also stopped to visit Thermopylae, which has a memorial for King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans who fought against the Persians.
Response from Host, Jun 2019
