On time and excellent car service to Delphi from Athens. - Vasilis was our tour guide. We had a very comfortable ride to see Delphi, Itea, and Galaxidi. We had a wonderful lunch in Delphi that included authentic Greek cuisine. Highly recommend using Vasilis for a tour.

Perfect day with the best guide Spiros. - Starting with the incredible service and attentiviness of the owner Aris, that customized our tour and, when the metereological conditions made our trip impossible, was very fast to help us find alternatives.
The guide, Spiros, was absolutely perfect. He was punctual, knew A LOT about the history of all the places we’ve passed by and was helpful and caring with us, always providing us with water and a lovely conversation.
The route was breathtaking, and the pacing allowed us to explore at our own time, without rushing it. The selection of cities - Delphi, Aranchova, It’ea and Galaxdi - were a good combination of history and sightseeing, mountains and sea. We ended perfectly with a lunch of fresh fish at Galaxdi.
Super recomend for everyone and definetly will come back!

Seamless experience - From beginning to end, it was a seamless experience. We were taken between the scenic spots and always given as much time as needed to view everything. Our driver/guide gave us the local insights and recommended on what do to and not to really enhance the experience even further! When time for lunch, we were given the best table and view at taverna Vakhos (unforgettable) thanks to our driver!

Seamless experience - When looking at crowded buses and tourist guides that are stressing about time, it makes the choice of having a private tour so obvious :-)
From beginning to end, it has been a seamless experience with transfer between scenic spots and always been given the time we wanted to explore.
The unexpected visit on this tour was lunch at Taverna Vakhos with an amazing view overlooking green fields of olive trees and water, as well as Galaxidi town with it's authentic tavernas and crystal blue waters.

Great Visit to Delphi - This is a long tour. We asked to cut out the visit to the last seaside town as we were jet lagged. Delphi is amazing but come ready to hike. Panos was a good guide for the day. Lunch was excellent!

The Oracle says this is almost a perfect itinerary - Spyros, the tour operator was great. Very professional and knowledgeable. He first stopped in a small mountain town, Arachova, that was not on the original plan but it was a welcome change. It was beautiful and a place I would like to visit again. Delphi was incredible and we were given more than enough time to scale the mountain. I say that in jest but it is a physical struggle to see Delphi and it required you to hike up steep slopes to see the ruins.
The next stop was at Itea. It is a beautiful coastal town and I wish we spent more time there as well. We finished the tour in Galaxidi. Although quaint, that town was not worth the stop in my opinion. The lunch we had there was not great. Again we could have stopped in Itea and stayed there longer, had lunch there, and made the tour more perfect.
