A day full of things to see - This was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We had a very knowledgeable guide & driver Dallas and the amount of places you get to visit in one day is astonishing! A private tour definitely gave some flexibility compared to the bus tours with bigger groups.

Amazing 1 day private tour - My wife and I booked the package basis reviews from Tripadvisor. I have to say this - the reviews were spot on and we had an incredible and amazing time. Our guide, George arrived at our hotel on time and the car, Mercedes E200 is in pristine condition. He was very warm and made us felt at ease almost immediately. The trip started with a slight drizzle as it is still early of the year, but George assured us that basis his checks earlier , Delphi and Meteora will be clear and sunny. And amazingly it was so as we found out later. We joked that he was the George Oracle :) The journey was very comfortable , we were given a concise lesson in history on Delphi and its Oracles . Along the journey we even had coffee , complimentary by George. There were also snacks and bottled water in the car so we were able to stay hydrated and comfortable throughout the ride. Our first stop of the day was Temple of Athena Pronaia and we were the first visitor. The weather was lovely and we took some amazing pictures. After that we drove on, passing Arachova which had stunning views too. Next one is the lovely town of Delphi! Understood from George that Delphi is a great place to visit and stay during Christmas season. We saw lots of shops and local Tarverns - note taken for our next visit to Greece. The Delphi Sanctuary was nothing short of stunning. The ruins of temple of Apollo, the various treasuries , against the back drop of the clear blue sky and the rising sun was simply wonderful. There were lots of relics that we could see and appreciate whilst visiting the nearby Delphi museum. After that, we proceeded to Meteora, about 2 hours away. This is a place of Monasteries that were built on top of ancient rock formation - incredible . Along the way, as usual, George became our cameraman too! Such a pro! We left the place with deep respect to the Orthodox beliefs and appreciation of the architecture grandeur of the monasteries. On our way back to Athens, we visited Thermopylae - and the memorial of King Leonidas and the 300 Spartan. George gave another vivid journey back in time to us and we came away deeply admiring such heroic acts centuries before Christ! The best was kept for last - we were brought to a local Tavern - called the Island Seafood where we had a feast! Local specialty seafood - shrimps, mussels, squids, cod fish , fried cheese and of course the famous Greek Salad - it was a fantastic gastronomical experience. Please remember to drink the local liquor - Ouzo! Pairs really well with our dinner. What a whirlwind and fun packed trip we had. I would recommend this package and also the company Theodores travel for everyone and anyone. We are really thankful that George was our guide and continues to text us tips and location to find local food and attractions. He also helped to arrange our airport transfer to Santorini the next day. If there is a 10 points rating, I would rate this trip as 11. Thank you George for a wonderful experience!! P.s: we had a pleasant surprise that the company had a prepared a little gift for us too! Such thought n nice gesture is deeply appreciated.

Highly recommended, what a great experience - The landscapes are all great but 60% of what constitutes an amazing experience for us is Dallas, our guide + driver. He's the definition of stellar customer service and "go above and beyond" mean. His passion about his work shines through his tireless narration about Ancient Greek history & mythology for an entire trip. He's also very thorough in his answers about any topics that we threw at him. We learned so much about Greece and its people, economy, past & present. During the trip, he always carefully gives us options of where to go, when to stop, what to see to best fit of our family needs. In summary, 10 out of 10 service. Can't recommend enough about Dallas. Of course, it goes without saying how breathtaking the beauty of Meteora, the Temple of Apollo in Delphi... are Last but not least, the dinner is another surprise. It's included in the tour but Dallas makes sure it's a literally feast. We're introduced at least 10 different authentic Greek dishes at a local restaurant. It's so good that we will definitely come back next time. Thanks for a great tour and even more amazing service.
