Fantastic tour with Costas. Action packed day. We had limited time in Athens so this tour was perfect for a packed day. Corycian cave is a special experience. The views throughout were amazing but especially at the cave on top of the mountain. Great lunch and coffee breaks overlooking valleys and the Corinthian bay. Delphi was great too!
Visiting the cave of Corycian cave and learning about the history surrounding the cave . I also loved hearing about the interesting stories surrounding the lands on our way to the historical landmarks . Furthermore , I enjoyed the hike upwards towards The top of the Delphi Archaeological museum!
We toured Greece for 2 days with the owner of this company - Pan, and it was amazing. He organized to pick us up (with all of our luggage) at 7:30am when we departed our cruise ship, and created a unique itinerary for us to explore all of the sites in Athens over the next 8 hours. Then dropped us off at the door of our Airbnb at the end of the day. The next day Pan picked us up at our Airbnb, and we did the day-long tour of Delphi, Corycian Cave, Thermopalye and more. His knowledge of the historical sites is outstanding, and you can feel his passion for the history and mythology of Greece when he talks. The stop for lunch was one of the best meals that we had in Greece. Amazing views and even better food. If you are looking for a professional, dependable, knowledgeable and customizable tour from a small business owner in Greece, Pan (Easy Experiences) is perfect for you.
