Delphi and Thermopylae Full Day Experience

Our guide Theodore was excellent. We were a little underwhelmed by Thermopoly, but Delphi was great and the ride, although long, was very nice as we really were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

We had a wonderful trip to Delhi and Thermopylae, thanks to our driver, Dennis. He was a font of information about our destinations as well as Greece in general, and he made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. We’d definitely recommend him, his company, and this tour to any visitors to Athens!

Wonderful knowledgeable guide. This was a private tour and we loved the flexibility and very engaging history discussions in the car on the way there and back. Highly recommended!

Definitely a must-book! Greece is so beautiful and has so much history to see, and this helped us put two days worth of touring the country into one without feeling rushed. We had Dimitris as our guide and he was fantastic: great conversation and as a local knew all the history of Thermopylae and Delphi and many other areas along the way. It was amazing to walk the same steps that many others did thousands of years ago and see the monuments built to honor these names like Apollo and King Leonidas that I had heard about from childhood. We even scheduled the day before (definitely not due to my lack of planning) and were contacted by the agency promptly and on the road the next morning at 8 AM. If you're trying to choose between spending a day in Thermopylae or Delphi, or you were trying to find a great way to spend a day in Greece without the hassle of finding transportation to and from, while still getting the same tour experience that you would at the Acropolis, look no further!

Stelios was a fantastic driver and guide. Kind, funny, and shared lots of history and stories with us. He even booked us a reservation for lunch whike we took our Delphi tour so we didn't have to lift a finger. Definitely recommend booking with Stelios!

It was such a fun and informative trip! We got to see our two top sites for this area (Delphi and Thermopylae) and Stelios, our guide, even looked into a spot we were interested in trying to see and was able to give us information that maps couldn’t. He clearly has a passion for what he does and me and my friends were so happy to have him as our guide! He went above and beyond, and even gave us pointers and recommendations on the way back to Athens for another excursion we had planned for later in our trip, and it really made the whole thing even better.

My wife and I had a private tour of Arachova, Delphi and Thermopylae, from 7 to about 4:30. Michalis was a wonderful host, and provided a wealth of information, modern and ancient details of Athenians, the significance of Delphi, and the major historical conflicts. The car was very comfortable and clean, and Michalis was flexible, fun and very polite. He had planned out the stops to stay in front of the inevitable bus tours/lineups, and was very communicative (through WhatsApp, etc.). He planned out a lunch stop (not included) in the town of Delphi which was a spectacular location and great food. Quick stop at Thermopylae but hey there isn't much there and we didn't need to stay long - I needed to go onto the last stand hill, for my own soul's sake. He had extra details on each site in a booklet, which was all that we needed. You may want more info if you are a history major but if you aren't then I think there is sufficient info. He even gave us a quick tour of Athens downtown hotspots on our way back into town. What a great day, thank you!!

I have to say that the driver Michael was great and gave us some excellent tips during the tour, his driving was great as well as punctuality! I gave a 4 star because the itinerary is a bit too dragged out, whereas the visit to village Arachova was very picturesque, Delphi town was great and an excellent spot for lunch, I am not sure if the archeological sit was worth it. The leoniadas museum and Thermopyle visit you should do only if you are an absolute fan of the legend like me, or else there is not much to see there

This was an incredible tour! Our guide, Michalis, was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of great historical information on the sites we were visiting. The car was extremely clean and comfortable, and we had a wonderful time on this tour.

Our guide Stelios picked us up from the hotel very punctually. On the way to Delfi (and later) he told us a lot of interesting stories about the history of Greece, the battles with the Persians and about the background of Delfi with the Oracle. That was really very entertaining and we think he could have told many more stories if we had wanted to. We filled ourselves very well. His driving style was also such that as a "passenger" you always felt safe and relaxed. About the tour: Delfi was very interesting. We followed the advice of Stelios and first visited the museum and then the archaeological site. This allows you to imagine some things better due to the exhibits and explanations in the museum in the excavation area. Whether you have to integrate thermopylae into the Tour, I think is worthy of discussion because of the long journey time. If necessary, a different combination, for example with the channel of Corinth or the like, would be more appropriate, provided that this runs out in time. Nevertheless, we really liked the tour.
