Great Tour - Both places were amazing. The guide Demitrios was funny, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this trip for sure. Wear comfortable shoes and make sure you bring attire that abides by the monasteries' dress code.

Beautiful and memorable tour - This tour was more than I expected! Great ride through the city and countryside of Greece. Tour guide Demetri's was knowledgeable and kept us well informed. Delphi was amazing! Meteora topped Delphi! Walkable with lots of steps, but doable for most. Bus driver deserved an award for his driving skills. Lots of stops for our comfort. Restaurant stops served classic Greek food and we’re located in places with amazing views.
Truly amazing tour with memorable stops throughout the 2 day journey!

Meteora worth seeing - It is definitely well worth the extra travel. The best nature site in Greece. There are beautiful monasteries at the rock peaks. St Agios Stepanos is one of the kind. I highly recommend it.

Astounding views and friendly hosts! - I visited Greece with no car, so this was the best option for me to get to Delphi and Meteora - two must-see places I wanted to go. Jordan and Dimitris were excellent hosts. They were thoughtful and thorough. Jordan was very good at filling time with tidbits of information even when we were held up in traffic. He made the time fly by, and Dimitris always had his hand extended to us to help us down the steps of the bus - quite the gentleman.
Both sites were incredibly busy, but that was to be expected given their popularity. Jordan did an excellent job of keeping the group together and on schedule.
The hotel accommodations were lovely and I enjoyed all the provided food options, as well as the frequent opportunities to stop and stretch and see a few extras along the way, such as the monument to King Leonidas. That was an added bonus that I didn’t expect and Jordan told the story of the Battle at Thermopyles well.
All together a wonderful trip. Thank you!

TERRIBLE FROM VIATOR - The tour itself was ok and delivered what it promised. the biggest issue we had was the accommodation.
We booked for a group of 5 and were given 2 double rooms to figure out between 5 of us. When we informed that the booking was made for 5 people they told us we will have to pay additional 60EUR for the extra room.
As we did not want to waste time there we decided to pay up and manage, but when bringing this up with Viator we have been ignored and not provided any compensation.
Why were we charged the same price per person and given a room less?
Why is it not mentioned that the room will be given on DBL or TPL sharing basis?
Viator has failed to assist us and I write this review so that the rest of you can be aware before booking.
