Costa: great tour guide & teacher

Edgar_C, May 2026
Costa was an amazing tour guide! Incredible knowledge about Greek history and mythology. He shared information with great passion and humor, which made the experience both educational and entertaining. His knowledge was truly impressive, and he also made sure everyone stayed hydrated and had a good time. Definitely recommend him! - The neophytes from Aruba!

Loved our trip to Delphi

Jacquelyn_H, Oct 2025
Our driver, Yiannis, was excellent. He informed us throughout the journey, plus found a vegan-friendly restaurant in the village that was magical. He was super accommodating and very friendly. The tour and ruins were incredible yo see and it was a great escape from Athens to view the more mountainous areas of Greece. 💙🤍💙🤍
