Fantastic tour with Constatine of the Monasteries in Meteora - Beautiful and so neat to see the Monasteries! Delphi and Archova were cool to see as well. Long day but soo worth it. Constantine was soo personable and informative. One of the best tour guides we have ever had. If you want to avoid the big tours than this is the one for you.

Professional, prompt and helpful transport service from a real gentleman. - 5/5. Cristiano was a real gentleman, who drove us to Meteora from Athens and back. My mother has Motor Neurone Disease and her mobility is limited, and Cristiano was so helpful with my mother and loading/unloading her wheelchair and helping her in and out of it. He was also helpful with our luggage, loading and unloading it to the front reception of our hotels, which truly made a difference as I was occupied with helping my mother. He’s a wonderful man, very kind and patient, and my mother and I are both truly grateful to him for his kindness and generosity.

Saw a lot in one day: Delphi + Meteora + more - Fantastic experience to see a lot in just one long day. Great tour guide - Paddy - who taught a lot about the history and the sites before we got to each stop. Dinner was also great. Water and some light snacks provided during the day.

“Paddy is a Greek National Treasure – Hilarious History Wizard!” - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paddy is a national treasure — book this tour immediately! If you only do ONE thing in Athens, make it this tour with Paddy. This man doesn’t just drive a bus — he delivers a full-blown, laugh-out-loud, history-packed comedy show on wheels. Paddy knows more about ancient Greece than most professors, and he tells the stories so well you’ll swear Zeus himself is narrating. One minute you’re laughing at his perfectly timed jokes, the next you’re getting goosebumps hearing about the real stories behind the Acropolis. He made 2,500-year-old rocks feel alive and hilarious. The itinerary was perfect, the places he took us were absolute must-sees, and he went above and beyond by keeping us hydrated with cold water, feeding us snacks throughout the day, and even treating us to dinner like we were his personal guests. The whole team was warm, professional, and clearly loves what they do. Paddy, you turned what could’ve been “just another tour” into one of the absolute highlights of our entire Greece trip. We’re already planning our return just to ride with you again. Do yourself a favor — book this tour and ask for Paddy. You’ll thank me later. Thank you Paddy and the whole crew! 🇬🇷❤️

Great Day!!! - Overall, the vehicle was comfortable, and the driver was very friendly and accommodating. However, there were a few areas that could be improved. Only one snack option was available, and sodas were not provided despite being advertised. On the positive side, the restaurant selected for the dinner stop was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Delphi and Meteora are stunning and definitely worth visiting. One disappointment was that the driver skipped two locations listed on the itinerary, explaining that there was not much to see at those stops. Despite these minor issues, we had a wonderful day overall and enjoyed the experience.

This is an extremely LONG... - This is an extremely LONG day in the car and very high intensity sight seeing. Lots of steps and steep inclines to see these sights. The sights were great. The host was very friendly, polite and professional. His driving was a bit erratic and very fast.

Spend an entire day NOT in Athens and you will be amazed! - First, let me get this off my chest. The headline description of the tour- “private day tour” - is misleading. Later, in the description it states 1-4 persons will be in a Mercedes vehicle. I booked for a party of two which falls into the category of 1-4 persons for a private day tour. Right? Wrong. After booking and paying the fee, I got a message saying since we were the only two that booked that we needed to pay an additional $150 to make it private or they would cancel. I did NOT want a cancellation because it was going to be our last day and I really wanted to see the sites so I paid the extra fee. After paying the fee, I realized that I expected a private tour to begin with since 2 people falls within their 1-4 person listing. I contacted viator and they basically said “well you agreed to pay so there’s nothing we can do.” So, I just don’t get it but that extra money is paid and it is what it is. We did have a wonderful tour and Dimas was a great driver and guide. He took lots of pics for us and was a wealth of knowledge. Funny, too! Yes, it is VERY, very long but IMO I’m so glad we did it! I agree with another reviewer that Thermopylae was underwhelming which is crazy considering the battle that took place! Not the tour guide’s fault, FYI. Delphi was fantastic (get your quads in shape!) and Meteora was out of this world.

Avoid this operator at all costs - AVOID! AVOID!! AVOID!!! Very poor experience overall. Operator suggested to take a van for convenience due to long travel; Paid $200 extra for van. Van seating was nothing but inflexible bench seats. This lead to very uncomfortable ride. Driver excessively speeding throughout the trip. Finished overall what it is supposed to take 14 hours; under 12.5 hours mostly because of speeding. Sight seeing was self directed with little guidance from driver. Dinner arrangement post trip was horrendous. Place was owned by the operator. It was a dusty dungeon in a beat up neighborhood. Salad was huge chunks of vegetables; slapped with bottled /packaged cheap quality food. Wine was warm tasted like piss - literally. Had to get out of the place in a rush. Overall this is very bad. AVOID THIS OPERATOR AT ALL COSTS!!! I never give negative remarks. This experience was so bad that I had to leave one to help others in future.
