Great Tour!
Great tour! Ilias was an awesome driver. He was very friendly and accommodating. By Greek law he is not allowed to guide on-site, but when asked he made arrangements for a professional guide (who was awesome as well) to guide at one of the sites. He took us to a great restaurant for a late lunch after the last site. Wonderful trip and driver!

Ilias Kanteres @ Welcome Pickups
Ilias was fantastic. A very smooth driver, he is jovial and fun. He is very knowledgeable without overwhelming us with information. We travel in Europe often and always use local guides. He is one of the best. If you are in Athens,please request Ilias Kanteres at Welcome Pickups. You won’t be disappointed .

Perfect Day in Delphi at Our Own Pace
We had a wonderful private day trip to Delphi with our family. Our driver was friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing stories that brought the journey to life.
It was such a pleasure to explore at our own pace and enjoy the sights without feeling rushed. A truly memorable and relaxing experience — highly recommended!.

Our trip to Delphi with Giorgos was amazing
Giorgos was amazing. We had a wonderful trip to Delphi with him. We also stopped at St Lukas' Monastery on the way home which was also incredibly special.
Giorgos was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and also really fun.
We had such a great day and could not recommend Giorgos more highly.
