Peter was a fantastic driver and tour guide! He was very knowledgeable of the area and history, answering all of our questions. Highly recommend the full day tour!
George was truly AMAZING! From the pick up at our hotel early in the morning, to driving us through our stops at Thermopylae and Delphi, to dropping us off almost eight hours later, he was not only a wonderful conversationalist, but he was incredibly informative. On the drive he essentially provided a masterclass in the Persian War and the culture of Ancient Sparta, Athens, and Persia. For lunch he arranged us a table at To Patriko Mas, a delicious restaraunt overlooking the sea and gorgeous mountain sides. If you are a history buff or classicist, I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. I will say, if you are on the fence about it you don't necessarily need to make the extra Thermopylae leg unless you're a giant nerd (like I am).
Excellent service. Very interesting tour. The guide Yanis is an excellent driver and conversationalist about the history of Greece!!!
We had an amazing time and our driver, Bill, made everything extra special. We traveled with our two boys, ages 10 and 14, and they loved the entire experience. We would recommend to anyone looking to see Delphi and Thermopylae while staying in Athens. It is a great way to see both in one day and be back at your hotel in time for dinner.
I want to give a big shout out to Yannis. He was an excellent guide and driver. He talked about the mythology and history of Greece, and of course interesting facts about all we were seeing along the way. At Delphi he found us perfect spot to eat with a stunningly beautiful view, before we headed off to the archeological site. We absolutely enjoyed our trip from start to finish. I loved learning more about the history of Thermopylea.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an enjoyable day exploring Thermopylae and Delphi with Yannis. His passion for Greek history and mythology, along with his local knowledge, truly makes each journey special. We're delighted you enjoyed the scenic lunch stop and the fascinating stories along the way. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in Greece soon!
Our tour guide Peter made this a smooth, delightful, and informative day. He gave us all the time we needed to experience the museums and sites. He also knew the best places to stop for rest breaks along the long drive. He kept the car at a comfortable temperature and chatted when we felt like chatting and played music when we didn't. He was a smooth, careful driver. We felt like VIPs when we stopped for lunch and they had the best table reserved for us. The restaurant had excellent views with tasty local food in generous portions for a reasonable price.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Peter made your day so comfortable, informative, and enjoyable. It's great to know you appreciated the relaxed pace, thoughtful service, and scenic lunch stop with delicious local cuisine. Creating personalised, stress-free experiences is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Greece again soon!
My friend and I wanted to visit Thermopylae and Delphi without renting a car or being tied to a traditional group tour, so this option seemed perfect. It was. Peter, our driver and guide, picked us up at our hotel and led us on a fantastic day trip. Along the way, he shared helpful background about each place and cheerfully answered our questions. At Thermopylae, he showed us the key sites and explained how they fit into the story of the battle between the Spartans and the Persian army. At Delphi, we enjoyed the museum and had plenty of time to explore the hillside, including the temples and other ruins. What we appreciated most was that Peter never rushed us and was always an excellent source of information. He also took us to a beautiful restaurant for a late lunch overlooking the valley. It was a perfect day.

We’ve done a couple of tours with a couple different tour companies while we’ve been in Greece. Yannis was by far the best! His knowledge on the history of Greece, Thermopylae, and Delphi was unparalleled! We learned so much and highly recommend him.
Thank you for your wonderful 5* review! We are thrilled to hear that Yannis made such a strong impression and that his knowledge of Greek history, Thermopylae, and Delphi helped make your experience so memorable. It means a great deal to know that this tour stood out among the others you enjoyed in Greece. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey through Greece's rich history.
Wow, what a day of learning. This was a great tour. In fact, all 6 of us thought this might have eked out the prestigious "best day of the vacation" spot. We were a group of 6 adults. Yannis K. picked us up from our hotel in Athens right on time. He showed up in a big, clean, comfortable Mercedes van and brought us a box of biscuits (cookies) to nibble on if we got hungry during the drive. He supplied multiple bottles of water for each of us throughout the day. The day was long. Thermopylae was probably almost a 2 hour drive and then Delphi was another 45 minutes or so beyond that. As we drove, Yannis took the time to point out landmarks along the way. He is a terrific story teller and brought maps and drawings to help tell the story of the battle at Thermopylae. He found all the right perches for us to take photos and he took some photos for us so we could all be in the picture. We arranged for a licensed guide to take us through the Delphi museum and archeological site, which was spectacular. When you go, take the extra half hour to climb up to the stadium. It's really not that far and totally worth it. After the site visit, Yannis arranged for us to have a wonderful meal at a restaurant in the town of Delphi. He picked a great place, and again, all 6 of us thought this was a highlight of our vacation. He didn't join us for the meal, although we invited him. Instead he busied himself nearby and was ready to go when we were. It started to rain on the way back to Athens while we were still in the mountains. Yannis was a careful driver. He wasn't messing around with his phone, driving too fast, or driving aggressively. It was a great day.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're delighted that Yannis helped make this one of the highlights of your trip. His storytelling, attention to detail, and genuine care for our guests are what we strive for every day. We're also glad you enjoyed Delphi, Thermopylae, the local cuisine, and the beautiful scenery along the way. Thank you for choosing Ancient Greece Tours! Best regards from Athens, George
