Great day with Thomas! - Had a great day with Thomas! He spent many years in the UK so speaks great English. You won't feel rushed with Thomas -- he's got a plan for how the day should go but won't make you slurp down your cappuccino freddo to save 10 mins and get to the next step. He knows a lot about Delphi and clearly enjoys the areas. A meal in Arachova, the "Winter Mykonos", was a highlight -- great food/very relaxing. Thomas even sent us information about our next stop on our trip even though he wasn't guiding us. Really good experience and full day of siteseeing!

Warm, generous, knowledgeable - Nikos provided one of the highlights of our visit to Greece when he drove us to and from Delphi. You couldn\u2019t choose a better guide for all of the above reasons. A history buff now formalising his passion with study in history and archaeology, his knowledge was remarkable and so valuable as we toured the site and the museum. But his care and personal interest made the experience very special - as did the wonderful stops for coffee, pastries and lunch 😁 Thanks so very much Nikos. We won’t forget our time with you.

Fantastic Trip, Best Day on the Mainland - I can't recommend Ioannis and this tour enough. Truly, it was our best day in Greece. What sets this tour apart is you're not just going to Delphi and getting dropped off. You get to see sites along the way and get a real feel for the country. We hit all of the major sites along the way, but also had a terrific lunch in a little seaside village, went for a swim and a beer at a local spot, and grabbed coffee in a village with a medieval castle.
Ioannis is also extremely knowledgeable about Greek history and is genuinely a pleasure to chat with. If you do one thing outside of Athens, do this.

Fabulous trip to Delphi - Nikolas “Niko” was our guide to Delphi and we had a wonderful time. He was friendly, knowledgeable and interjected his interest by showing us a beautiful monastery. He accommodated our pace and helped personalize the trip by quickly learning our names and asking us individual questions to make sure everyone was engaged. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Trip was actually in 2019, but wanted to refresh this after a poor travel season in 2020.

Fantastic Day Trip into the Source of Myths and Legends - Manos tells narratives and explains the how and why of the history, not just dates, so that it's meaningful and you will remember it. He makes life out of the old stone and marble so that you can envision it all!

Excellent day trip - Nikos is a very dedicated guide who did everything right to make it a great day for us. His stories are entertaining and informative about the archeology, mythology and history of Delphi and all the notable places between Athens and Delphi. Conversation with Nikos is great and personal. This day trip was something we will always remember.

Will definetely book Yorgos again when in Athens - We just spent the day with Yorgos visiting Delphi. He knows all about the site and it's history. When Yorgos speaks about the oracle and the Gods they come alive. He is a very fun person and gave us the feeling we already knew each other instead of having just met.

Fantastic Day Trip - Yorgos is a great host! He explained the history of Delphi and gave us
plenty of time to explore the area and the museum. We would have
missed some hidden gems if it wasn't for his tips. The town of
Arachova was equally as amazing. A very beautiful mountain town and a
great stop of lunch. Thanks Yorgos for great conversation and a
wonderful last day in Greece!
