“Wonderful Greek Adventure - We had an amazing time on our tour with Panagiotis. The original itinerary had us visiting hot springs adjacent to the Thermopylae leg of the journey, however with the current heat wave in Greece this was modified to the Cave of God Pan which was a perfectly suitable alternative for us. Our guide was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entirety of the adventure. The Delphi site was fascinating and we spent the bulk of our time at this location along with our lunch reservation at a beautiful restaurant (To Patrika Mas) overlooking the Gulf of Corinth. While it was a long day overall (12hr from pickup to drop off back at our hotel in Athens) we had a terrific time and greatly enjoyed everything we experienced. We would certainly book another trip with this guide to a different location due to the quality of this tour. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a way to fill a full day with an excursion!” - Reviewed at 2024-08-04

“Best tour ever - Best tour!! Very convenient, easy to book, very nice bus driver and tour guide. The description of their tour was completely accurate (I booked through booking.com) Also I thought the price was very reasonable for a full day of transportation, audio guides, tour guide, and it covered the museum and entrance to Delphi. They had multiple pick up locations, mine was right on my hotels block. I went to Delphi. It was perfect, they stop so you can use the restroom, gave us audio guides that were mapped so you could go at your own pace vs sticking in a massive group all day (like the other tours there). Then we stopped in a small village for lunch, it was the perfect day. The cherry on top was they have outstanding customer service and went out of their way to get me back a lost item. Thank you Akis!!!” - Reviewed at 2024-11-10
