We had a wonderful day with Peter as our guide. We went everywhere we wanted and he took us to the best restaurant in Delphi that we've ever been too (and value for money). He was knowledgeable and also considerate and we'd highly recommend this tour. Thank you!

A Trip Back in Time with an Outstanding Guide!
My wife and I had 6 days in Athens. We wanted to use some of that time to get outside of the big city, visit the Greek countryside and learn more about the country's history. After an extensive search on Google we decided to book the full day tour to Delphi and Thermoplae.
The day before our trip I received a message from our tour guide and driver for the day, Peter. He introduced himself and confirmed the pickup time from the front door of our Airbnb. Peter was brilliant. He was a joy to spend the day with.
As we drive out of Athens and towards Thermoplae he introduced us to the fascinating history around the events during 480 - 500 BC when Persians attacked Greece on two separate occasions. It was fascinating to hear Peter describe the events as if they happened during the past century. He brought the time period and its resulting implications on Greek culture to life for us. Then, we ultimately drove thru Thermoplae and saw where this had occurred. We also visited the museum in Delphi that was filled with beautiful artifacts from the time period.
As a result of a fall, my wife was wheelchair bound. Peter handled that very respectfully and treated her with tremendous dignity. He also brought us to a beautiful spot for lunch. At Too Patriko Mas my wife and I enjoyed a first rate traditional Greek meal, drank a lovely bottle of red wine, while viewing the miraculous valley below us.
We enjoyed every moment of our time with Peter. It felt like we had made a lifelong friend by the end of the day. It was obvious from start to end that our comfort and enjoyment was his primary concern but I really believed he mutually enjoyed the time with us.
Thank you for everything, Peter!

The Pythias says “go!”
Wanting a trip into the interior of Greece from Athens we chose several excursions. On this one Thermopylae and Delphi were the order of the day. Driver Yannis arrived right when he said he would. (Communication via WhatsApp is easiest). Very knowledgeable about Thermopylae. We drove to Delphi where we had arranged a guide. She is an archaeologist. Excellent tour of the museum and site. Then Yannis took us to a nearby restaurant that was excellent. And the view of the distant port was spectacular. This trip was a LONG day. Getting in and out of Athens adds a lot of time and Delphi and Thermopylae are probably the absolute extent of “day tripping” to do from Athens.

Delphi & Thermopylae Full Day Private Tour from Athens
Our guide was amazing . His was great at telling Greek history and one could tell he was proud of his heritage. He was very accommodating and attentive to all our needs. They could do more at the battle of 300 but it’s really about the significance of the place. I hope in the future they build the place up to really showcase the significance of what it means. Overall definitely worth the visit and our guide pushed our experience over the top !

Amazing day trip to Thermopylae and Delphi
We were picked up in the morning by our driver, George, who was friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of both sites. He recommended a fantastic place for us to stop for lunch midday.
The Delphi site itself was amazing and stunning. The return trip to Athens was relaxing, a nice way to end the day. We would definitely go back again.

Amazing outing with excellent driver!
We had an incredible day. Our driver, Yannis, was wonderful. He was both an excellent driver and a fantastic storyteller. We learned so much! He was also well prepared; we had cold water on hand all day. The guide the company arranged for us in Delphi was also great and we really appreciated her taking us through the museum and the ruins. We ended with a lovely dinner (and incredible view of the valley) in the town of Delphi. It’s a long day but would definitely recommend to groups interested in history and mythology.

Very pleased!
Yannis picked us up timely and off we went. He shared in credible history that made my husband thrilled to learn about the Spartans & their struggles. The time in Delphi was a treat and an exercise routine. Be prepared as Yannis told us. The museum was great. The walk and steps a challenge. We were rewarded with an amazing lunch looking over the hillside over Corinth in the distance. He offered a scenic route back to our hotel which we chose. We passed through Arachova for a photo stop - no snow skiing. It was beautiful and serene. We had a super nice day with Yannis!!

Peter was outstanding. Welcoming and very informative. Of all our excursions through Greece over 11 days this was the absolute best tour. Highly recommend this tour and would suggest you request Peter as your guide.
