Fantastic day in Delphi and Hosios Loukas Monstery

Quantz_B, Mar 2025

My driver, Panos, was absolutely wonderful! He was punctual, thoughtful and very knowledgeable. He shared information about Greece’s history, culture, myths and politics. His English is exceptional. Delphi was interesting and beautiful! Hosios Loukas Monastery was also well worth a visit. I thoroughly recommend this trip!

A great trip to Delphi

David_H, Jul 2023

Our driver Costas was very knowledgeable about the interesting sites both to and from Athens as well as Delphi itself. He also recommended a very good local restaraunt with great food and an excellent view. In addition, he was extremely helpful in bringing us to a couple of stores where we could purchase things we needed before our cruise.

Not as expected; Expensive private transportation, not tour.

Carol_L, Jun 2023

The ONLY good thing about this highly expensive private transportation service to Delphi was conversation about Greece & Life with the driver, who was wonderfully friendly and refreshing man. I am sorry to say, however, from standpoint of what we expected, it was absolutely not. Given that he was not a tour guide, and we had to pay to explore Delphi on our own without a tour guide, it was ultimately extremely unsatisfying… merely four times the cost of an actual guided tour, and in a car that was not a luxury Mercedes, but just a standard taxi without Wi-Fi.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear sir Dominick Rascona. From the first day they came to pick you up from your hotel, your behavior towards our drivers was insulting. On the first day we sent you a Mercedes Benz Luxury car, our driver waited patiently for you, you got off angry because you had made a wrong reservation and you demanded that we cancel the tour because you had arranged to ride a bike. Our driver kindly offered to take you to the point where you had your appointment. The next day on the Delphi tour, criticize us for the fact that we didn't offer a tour guide when in our information we list in detail what the tour includes and what it doesn't. Also, comparing the cost of a bus tour with the cost of a private transport is incomparable, but obviously I don't expect you to understand the difference. The next day with the exact same guide with the same car with the same Wifi we had another tour together Biblical Private tour Following St Paul's Footsteps. If the previous day with us was so bad, why did you choose our company again? Next time it would be better to read the information carefully.
