Delphi Day Trip - We started our adventure in Athens with a friendly welcome from our guide, Peter. He gave us an overview of the journey and what to expect as we headed out of town. We knew in advanced that the road to Thermopylae was blocked due ongoing farmers protests. Honestly we were ok with not going there because it gave us more time in Arachova and Delphi. But Peter still gave us a history of the area and provided a video. The best part of the trip was Peter gave us options for how to approach each destination. Arachova is a very interesting mountain village with traditional architecture, great coffee shops, and nice stores. We enjoyed walking the narrow streets that overlooked a breathtaking mountain range. We highly recommend stopping there. Delphi was excellent. We toured the museum and then hiked the entire archaeological site. Again this was breathtakingly beautiful and it was very interesting learning the history of the site (which Peter did a great job of explaining during the ride so we had context when starting at the museum.) Peter then took us to a nearby restaurant where we had lunch. The meal was absolutely delicious and the view from our table overlooked the Gulf of Corinth. It was such a nice way to end the trip. Highly recommend this tour with Peter - an amazing guide and kind person who made this adventure extra enjoyable.

History, Mythology and Great Company! - We had a fabulous private day tour with our guide, Tas. He arrived early, communicated clearly and made the entire day effortless. He was incredibly knowledgeable — sharing fascinating stories from history, mythology and modern Greek culture that brought every stop to life. At the museum and archaeological site. we requested a guide to take us through and interpret. She was very knowledgeable and efficient at showing us the things we might otherwise miss. Tas went above and beyond to take photos of us throughout the day, giving us beautiful memories to take home. He made sure we were comfortable, well-fed and hydrated, and always having a great time. It was the perfect mix of learning, laughter and local insight. Highly recommend Tas to anyone who wants a smart, engaging and genuinely kind guide.

Nothing to complain about - It was a well organized trip which I really enjoyed. The driver was nice and helpful and his recommendations really useful. He also had a very well grip on the history of both places and I could ask him many questions.

Ancient history alive! - We had a fabulous day with our guide, George. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We experienced the history and culture of Greece in a way that brought the ancient history alive as we walked in the footsteps of those who came thousands of years before us. George added special touches by bringing us fresh cookies from a local bakery, taking us over the mountains for incredible views and sharing a charming restaurant in a local village for dinner to enhance our experience. Thank you, George!

Yannis is an amazing guide! - Yannis was an INCREDIBLE guide to myself and the family as we toured Delphi and the surrounding areas. He has a way of animating so many parts of Greek history - always engaging, patient, and extremely helpful. It was such a pleasure to have him as our guide and driver-historian - I would definitely recommend him again!

Thermopylae & Delphi with Peter - We had a fabulous day with Peter on our private tour to Thermopylae & Delphi. He arrived exactly when he said he would, had water and cookies ready and waiting in the car and off we went for a full-day adventure. Peter was charming and well versed, not only on the places we visited, but on a wide array of topics. In addition he was extremely thoughtful and considerate of our needs and focused on what would make our day memorable and spectacular. We spent many hours with Peter and the time flew by because it was that enjoyable. Many thanks to Peter for making our tour so worthwhile. Of all the people we have met in Greece so far, he is the best. We highly recommend this tour and this company.

A day we won’t forget. - Tas was our guide. He was the best we could have had for the day we had been looking forward since forever! He has a deep knowledge of Greek history especially related to Thermopylae and Delphi. We thought we had a good basic understanding of the history, but Tas gave us the real story without making us feel dumb. He was invested in giving us the best possible experience during our visit. Tas called us to confirm the pickup time and kept us updated enroute to our hotel. He came with water and treats which were delicious. At the end of the day, he got us the best seats in a wonderful restaurant. Finally, Tas followed up the next day with a photo summary of our trip. We would definitely go to this company again if we return to Greece!
