Out of this world sights - We were in awe at the sight of Meteora. Stathis is very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He was very kind and patient with all of us as some of us experienced motion sickness on the way there; He made sure to check on us and adjust our itinerary as needed, he even managed to get us some Dramamine gum to ease the motion sickness.
Nonetheless, it's a trip not to be missed!

George is awesome. - George was friendly, knowledgeable and good company for the day. I had considered renting a car and doing the trip myself, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable. Having a driver made it easy and relaxing and he was able to educate us in advance about what we were to see…

Delphi and Meteora in a single day - Dimos, our guide and driver, has managed to make a very complete trip for us with our 7 year-old child. He stopped so we could take photos and explained everything to us in detail. Thanks to him, it was possible to visit Delphi and Meteora in a single day

Reckless speeding at 180km hr (110 mph) - Our driver ‘Dallas’ was excessively speeding and driving aggressively taking risks. Using my speed app he was hitting 175-180 km per hour (110 mph) and most of the time above 160 km per hour (100 mph) in 80 km hr and 100 km hr sped zones. We had to scream at hi. To slow down. He also reacted and drove and was reading the paper contract while going over 160 kmh (100 mph). I have pictures and videos to share if denied by the company. He also sped up the mountain hills to Delphi and had to scream at him to “stop” and to “take us home” and that we “recorded everything”. At this multiple warning and being told we are documenting his reckless speed, from us, he then drove the speed limit the rest of the trip. We told him we refuse to go to dinner with him and to go straight to the hotel. He should not be a driver for this firm. He placed our lives in danger.
