We had such a great time with Tas! He was kind and and fun to chat with. He gave us some information about the sights we visited but we would have loved to know more. It was also difficult for everyone in the car to hear him. Arachova was a huge highlight but we had to ask to stop and explore on the way home even though it was listed on the itinerary. I would NOT book this tour with a group of 8 because the front seat is VERY uncomfortable for that length of a drive. Our dinner was so delicious but one member of our group saw Tas was downing beers in the other room while we were eating. He did seem to be swerving a bit on the drive home which made all of us a bit nervous. We were also given 4 different pick up times and ended up waiting outside in the rain for 15 minutes to be picked up. Overall it was a fun day but there are definitely some improvements that could be made.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Dear valued guests, I'm glad you had such a great time with me as I with you all! Thank you for trusting us to introduce you all to breathtaking Arachova and magical Delphi. Thank you so much for taking time out to review your experience. I'm finding some of your comments a little awkward and need to express myself for piece of mind! Beginning our journey from Athens and approaching mount Parnassos, we were faced with extreme weather conditions. After stopping at a view point admiring Arachova I explained that we need to visit Delphi's archaeological site as the closing hours for the winter months are 15:30. I also pointed out that we'll be visiting Arachova after lunch, on the way back to Athens. This we did and I felt that you all enjoyed it. As for "downing" beers it must have been somebody else, because I simply don't drink beers/alcohol except for a Guiness a couple of times a year watching my favorite team in Australia LOL! The drive back wasn't smooth at all because of the pouring rain and thunderstorms. It might have been a little bumpy as you all seemed to be sleeping. With our Tours we have 8 seater Minivans and also Minibuses. We recommend the 7 3/4 seating stated as 8 due to the fact that it is much cheaper than our Minibus options. It was lovely meeting you all! God bless, Tas

Great Day!

Very clean comfortable van. Driver was extremely nice and helpful. We enjoyed being able to tour at our own pace. Delphi was one of my favorite places we visited!
