Visited Meteora and Delphi in a one day tour.

We had an amazing trip to Meteora and Delphi with Demos Kamberos from Theodore Travel. His knowledge of the region and his affable personality made the tour exceptionally enjoyable. We learned so much and had a truly memorable experience. We thank him very much for making this tour a unique experience for us. He was also very kind in helping our daughter who has special needs. Thank you very much!

So funny and enjoyable! Cannot enjoy Greece without him!

I really enjoyed my time with our tour guide, Dimos! He was so funny and welcoming to me and my family. He took us to all of the most beautiful points in Greece and he taught me so much. When we went on a 2 hour ride to the next destination, he made it seem like 2 seconds! We have made a friend for life! - Apollo (his nickname for me)
