Must Try - This private tour to Meteora, Delphi, and Thermopyles was absolutely incredible—easily one of the best travel experiences in Greece. The entire journey was smooth, well-organized, and thoughtfully curated. It is a full 12 hour day tour, so our comfort was prioritized by Paddy, our driver. Our guide was great! He is knowledgeable about Greek history and mythology, engaging in conversation, and always attentive to our comfort and interests. Each stop felt immersive and meaningful. Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries were jaw-dropping in person, with views that no photo can truly capture. Delphi was rich with ancient energy and beauty, and standing at the historic site of Thermopyles brought history to life. Traveling privately made all the difference. The pace was relaxed and we were able to fully enjoy each location without feeling rushed. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the care taken by Paddy at every step of the way.

An unforgettable day - Dimos our driver was fantastic. He not only took us to all the sights but gave us a lot of explanation of their history and so many good tips. He took very nice pictures of us so we can remember this memorable one day tour to Dephi, Thermopylae and Meteora. Thank you very much for everything Dimos🙂

It was an unforgettable... - It was an unforgettable experience and the right decision to go in a private tour. Our guide and driver Dallas was very passionate and knowledgeable about Greek history, culture and traditions. His driving was very safe and he made our trip very comfortable and interesting. His suggestions and tips helped to make the most of our experience. In one day we were able to go to several must-see attractions in Greece: breathtaking Meteora monastaries, Delphi and its archeological museum, Thermopylae and some other historical places. The authentic Greek dinner provided was also delicious. We are glad we had chosen that tour during our spring vacation in Athens.

George Is Awesome! - What an amazing tour, we had George the day before and he was excellent then. This trip however was even better! He was knowledgable about all the sites and took extra care to make sure my mother, who was having some issues with the steps to still enjoy her time on tour! Could not recommend this company more.

One of the best, very memorable . - Private tour to Delphi, Thermopylae and the monasteries Meteora. This has been one of my favorite tours I have ever taken. From 6am until 8pm. The driver, Dallas was extremely professional and it was like taking an intense course in Greek history. I can’t say enough about how Dallas made this tour exceptional. Delphi is spiritual, Thermopylae plain, but being myself half-Persian it had special meaning, and the monasteries at the top of the rock formed mountains are incredible and left me in awe. It began snowing lightly which gave it that much more of a magical expericlence. The tour ends with a dinner at a restaurant owned by the tour company in Athens where I had traditional Greek food.

An informative and pleasant journey - Paddy our guide is an expert on greek history. He shared greek history relevant to our journey whilst driving, at the same time giving us enough time to rests. We truly enjoy the journey. We booked for 4 of us as a family and the private trip is really worth the money.

Wonderful long day - We really wanted to see these locations and it didn't make sense to go on multiple day trips from Athens, so we were so thankful for the opportunity to fit it all into one day. Paddy was our driver. He was very informative and kind. Unfortunately we were so tired from so much travel that we fell asleep during the drives and missed some info. I would recommend fitting this into a multiple day excursion if possible, but otherwise this is a welcome option.
