Traveler reviews
Review
Theodore’s Tours is top notch. We learned a lot from Sebastian. He is an amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and well organized guide. I will recommend all my friends to Theodores Tours and tell them to ask specifically for Sebastian.
Expectation exceeded
The tour absolutely exceeded my expectation. It was a small intimate tour with just me and two other travelers in a nice car. Our driver Marselo was awesome and made sure we were well taken care of. I enjoyed the conversations wih Marselo and my fellow travelers throughout the trip. We were able to spend plenty of time at each stop while still getting back quite early. The time spent on the road didn't feel long at all. Meteora and Delphi of course had stunning views. Dinner was great too. What a nice way to end my first trip to Greece!
Amazing adventure!
We had an amazing time with Dimos. He was very informative and showed us spots we would have never seen otherwise. He was very punctual and always looked after us. You can tell that he is enjoying what he does and doesn’t see it just as a job. Would 100% recommend this tour. It is a long day but well worth it!
Fantastic Tour …… thanks Marselo
Would definitely recommend this Private Tour. Marselo was knowledgeable about Ancient Greek History. Tour was suited to our needs.
Dimos' Excellent Adventure
My wife (Theresa) and I spent the day with Dimos on the Thermopylae, Meteora and Delphi Private Full Day Tour. Dimos was an engaging, thoughtful, and entertaining host. He imparted a lot of history and cultural knowledge which made the trip very special for us. We have a greater appreciation for Greek history and culture as a result. We think the trip is a must do for anyone visiting mainland Greece. It is certainly worth the time and money.
