Wam bam and back to Athens!

My 10 yr old and I booked this tour and enjoyed it a lot. I had contemplated (briefly) driving to Meteora myself but am so glad I didn't. They picked us up down the road from our hotel bright and early. Our driver was friendly, our guide was wonderful. Christina has amazing people skills and a vast knowledge. The bathroom/drink breaks were consistent and just long enough to compensate for not being allowed to bring any food or drink on the bus. (Water is allowed.) Admission tickets were included in our cost, not sure if that's always the case. Delphi was scorching hot but Christina made a point of parking us in the shade for talks. She expertly navigated dealing with folks who listened in on our tour despite not being a part of our group in a polite way. Christina warned us there was a winding part of our drive (about an hr) but we were fine, as was the rest of our group. Quick stop at Thermopylae to see the mural, but you don't need much time there as it was 40 Celsius at that point. We had 2 hotels choices in Meteora and opted for the higher qualityone and was not dissapointed. Our dinner that night & breakfast the next morning were included in our tour and were good. My kiddo enjoyed the pool. I enjoyed the shower pressure. He was tired by the 8pm dinner so unfortunately we went back to the room after a quick bite instead of wandering the streets of Meteora but the folks on our tour who did said it was lovely to do once the sun had set. It was an early morning departure from our hotel to the monasteries, which is quite brilliant as we were one of the first to arrive at our first monastery, which mean it was way less crowded and cooler temperature. It also meant we were at our 2nd monastery before a lot of others too. Quick stop for a photo opp not at a Monastery. The ride back good. All highway.

Extraordinary trip

Our guide was very friendly and attentive. A surprise stop at Thermopylae. For a history buff, it was greatly appreciated. The Meteora were truly extraordinary.

Delphi & Meteora

Marianna was fantastic. She gave enough info at the right time, even kept telling us things during the bus ride. She explained the process well. Perfect, keep up the good work Marianna! Delphi tour we could've done with another hour to do hippodrome & museum. Guide was Nikos. Premila & Gina

Great Trip. Knowledgable Guide

Wonderful experience. We really enjoyed traveling with our guide, Julia. Trip was very thoughtfully laid out with stops every 90 minutes. Delphi and Meteora were definitely the best things we saw on the mainland. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Greece!
