Great trip to Delphi - Our driver had great knowledge of the area and its history. We appreciated his adaptability with our needs, and he is a super driver.

Thermopylae and Delphi - Tour that I recommend to lovers of the history of Sparta. The Panos driver was very kind, helpful and attentive. Beautiful landscapes.

Perfect private day tour from Athens - We went for the Thermopylae and Delphi tour with Fotis. He was very friendly and also knowledgeable. Throughout the journey he kept us informing fun facts about not only the main attractions e.g Delphi and Thermopylae but also other surrounding cities and monuments. The communication related to pick up was perfect, and during the journey he made us feel home by looking after all small details such as drink water and routine breaks. Overall, I would strongly recommend this trip and Fotis as a great person.

Beautiful scenery, good food, and great company - Great tour! Destinations were beautiful, Fotis, our driver, was great, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommended this tour and Fotis to anyone else!

Fantastic tour - Like our guide, Stratos, said, Delphi is like a microcosm of all of Greece's natural beauty. The sight is breathtaking. Afterwards, our driver Michalis drove so well down a road literally FULL of twists, turns and curves, that we all actually dozed off to sleep at one point or another. Huge kudos to both men for a great tour.

A magic trip from a reenactor's view - Not many know today that the road of the King of Lacedaemon and his fellow warriors in 480 BC for Thermopylae "started" from Delphi. Which way? With the Pythian oracle addressed to the Spartans: “υμίν δ’, ω Σπάρτης οικήτορες ευρυχόροιο, ή μέγα άστυ ερικυδές υπ’ ανδράσι Περσεΐδησι πέρθεται, ή το μεν ουχί, αφ’ Ηρακλέους δε γενέθλης πενθήσει βασιλή φθίμενον Λακεδαίμονος ούρος. Ου γαρ τον ταύρων σχήσει μένος ουδέ λεόντων αντιβίην. Ζηνός γαρ έχει μένος. Ουδέ ε φημί σχήσεσθαι, πριν τωνδ’ έτερον δια πάντα διάσηται” [that is, "(I say) to you inhabitants of spacious Sparta, that your great and glorious city will be conquered by Persian men, or if this does not happen, Lacedaemon will mourn the death of her king from the generation of Hercules. Because neither the strength of bulls nor lions will be able to resist him, as he has the power of Jupiter. And he won't stop until one of the two is torn to pieces"]. King Leonidas knowing the oracle, marched to immortality through eternal glory, in order to save Sparta, as the father of History, Herodotus, informs us. Today, things are simpler and the "connection" between Delphi and Thermopylae is made by my good friend and impeccable professional Periklis Dimopoulos with his taxi. We decided, me and a friend of mine, who are reenactors, to make a two-day "pilgrimage" to these two ancient holy places. Temple of Apollo in Delphi, with the most famous oracle in the world, Temple of Liberty in Thermopylae where perhaps the most famous battle of all time took place ... As my car was damaged and needed to be repaired, I asked Pericles to take us. So we loaded shields, spears, javelins, swords, breastplates, etc. in his taxi and we decided to start from Thermopylae. We dressed up as ancient hoplites and went up to Colonos Hill, which is across the monument of King Leonidas and the other fallen, to pay our respects at the spot where the last defenders of the straits were annihilated by hundreds of Persian arrows. At that time, of course, the hill was twice as high as it is today, as the sediments of Sperchios river, over the centuries, disappeared the narrow passage of antiquity, creating the plain that the visitor sees today. The place where nowadays the statue of Leonidas is, back then was the sea... We continued to the small village of "Eleftherochori", high on Kallidromo Mountain, as through there passes «Anopea», the path which taken by the traitor Ephialtes and the 10.000 Immortals of Xerxes, with Hydarnis in command, in order to surround the defenders of the straits. We had decided to take this rough road, so that [wearing tunics and sandals and carrying what a pair of a hoplite and a slave - psilos (i.e. javelin man) would then carry, from armor and weapons to that era food, bedding etc] reach the highest point, which was then guarded by the 1.000 Phocians and descending the mountain to end up (like the Immortals then) in Thermopylae from the south. The course we would take, although a little longer than half that of the Persians, who had then started from Anthili, was not at all easy: 25 kilometers up the mountain, with a full load of ancient warrior. Pericles left us in Eleftherochori and would return to wait for us in Thermopylae, where we arrived very tired after 6 hours of fast walking. After paying tribute to the statue of the immortal Spartan King and sitting down to rest for a while, we plunged into the crystal clear hot waters of the springs with the awful smell of methane, which exist in the adjacent baths. These hot springs together with the narrow passage gave the place its name in ancient times (Thermo = hot + pylae = gate, narrow pass). The next day we went to Delphi, where some more members of our reenacting group were waiting for us for a uniformed visit to the temple of Pronea Athena. Pericles was impeccable in everything, as a true professional, who often tours both, Thermopylae and Delphi and we thank him very much for everything. Certainly visiting these holy places of Greece with him makes these excursions unique.

Thermopylae better than 300, the movie - Remarkable family tour experience. The sights are spectacular, both during the road travels and the visits themselves. Crossing the Thermopylae passage is a moving experience, just as walking through the Delfos site and the museum. The tour guide was very courteous, took us to a fantastic restaurant with great views, and helped out throughout the whole trip from start to finish.

Thermopylae Delphi tour - Our driver Apostolos was wonderful My dream came true to stand on the ground of Thermopylae. Delphi museum Was outstanding to see the ancient items And stone statues

Good, but must-read notes… - Great driver. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic. Check the drive times! It’s 2.5 hours each way in a tight European car. Be careful if elderly. Oracle of Delphi / Temple of Apollo is up the face of a mountain and built into the slope. Everything requires walking in the sun. My 72yo mother really struggled to get up. Bring umbrellas to protect you from the sun, almost zero shade while exploring. Sunscreen a must. Didn’t book lunch thru Viator but driver gave us a great recommendation that ended up being one of the better meals we had in Athens vicinity. We were a party of three - elderly mom stayed in front seat, two young guys in back seat behind her with middle seat free. Wouldn’t have been comfortable at all with four people.
