Great day with Constantine! - Great guide and very nice Mercedes sedan. So much more comfortable than a bus with 100 other people. Our guide Constantine was extremely knowledgeable - not only about the specific site that we’re part of the tour but also of Greek history. And a great driver too. Highly recommend this company and guide. And the sites were fantastic, especially Meteora. Trip highlight.

Best 1-Day Trip outside of Athens - This was exactly the 1-day trip outside of Athens we had hoped for. Make no mistake. Delphi and Meteora are not near Athens, but these incredible sights are worth the long day in the car (~8h round trip + ~3.5h sight seeing). What made it all the better was the incredible service. Our driver and tour guide Paddy was THE BEST. He knew where to go, when to be there, what pit stops would be most convenient, and always had cold drinks and snacks ready. We could not have wished for a better trip. Note that depending on season, weather, traffic, etc. you may need to be flexible. But you will be in good hands. Make sure to tip your driver generously. They work very hard for you to have a seamless experience. Thank you Paddy!! Thank you Theodores Travel.

Ozzy made our day amazing! - We did the Thermopylae, Meteora and Delphi Private Full Day Tour with our guide Ozzy and had an absolutely wonderful time! Ozzy is such an amazing source of knowledge, and explains things so well that we were all (12yr old to 49 yr old) mesmerised for the whole day. We started early, and my plan was to have a nap in the car in the morning, but as soon as Ozzy started talking I was hooked and wide awake. He managed to avoid some rain clouds by rearranging the order of the sites so that by the time we got to them we had clear blue skies and plenty of time to walk around them. We as a family of 4 had one of the best experiences on our holiday by having Ozzy take us around, and we cannot recommend it more! So many amazing memories, and we learned so much too! Thank you Ozzy for making our day!

This day was magical.... - This day was magical. Dimos became our friend throughout the day. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The locations were so cool. Particularly, Meteora. We have already recommended that location to friends. The car was clean and comfortable. This was a once in a lifetime tour!

Fantastic, accessible, and deeply informative tour with Patty - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Delphi and Meteora Private Day Trip from Athens with Theodores Travel! Our guide for the day was a wonderful gentleman named Patty, and he truly went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. My husband is 85 years old with mobility issues, and I am also disabled. Traveling to historic sites can sometimes be daunting, but Patty made everything incredibly accessible and comfortable for us. Thanks to his attentiveness and care, we were able to fully enjoy and experience these special places without any stress. Not only was he accommodating, but he was also an exceptional guide. Patty explained the history of each site in great detail, and he spoke so clearly that he was incredibly easy to understand. To top off an already perfect day, Patty took us to a special little restaurant at the end of the tour, and the food there was absolutely delicious! If you want a seamless, educational, and deeply caring private tour experience, we cannot recommend Theodores Travel and Patty highly enough. Five stars all the way!

Full day Delphi, Meteora, and Thermopylae - Wonderful full day exploration of important ancient sites. Our guide Paddy was prompt, safe and full of knowledge to share along the way. Great dinner too. Would recommend to anyone visiting Athens who wants to explore outside the city.

Long day, but worth it! - What an amazing day! Our private driver (Nikos) picked us up at our hotel right on time. He drove us to Metora, explaining things along the way. Once in Meteora he took us to a number of the monasteries and allowed us as much time as we wanted at each. He also stopped at a number of incredible photo spots. We continued on to Delphi and, again, Nikos allowed us as much time as we wanted. The drive through the mountains was stunning (if you are inclined to be carsick on winding mountain roads, be warned!). Dinner at their private restaurant was very good! On our way back to the hotel, Nikos gave us additional bonus tips for our next day of exploring Athens on our own. I would recommend this to everyone - it was amazing!

Request Constantine as your guide! - Our tour guide Constantine was WONDERFUL! His knowledge and ability to share his love of the antiquities of Greece are second to none. We had a fabulous day touring Delphi and Meteora. We have family and friends who will be visiting Athens, and we will steer them all to Constantine!

Amazing Day - “Our private full-day tour to Meteora, Delphi, and Thermopylae with Paddy was incredible, even as a 12‑hour day. The monasteries at Meteora were the highlight for me – there are a lot of stairs, but Paddy made sure we were prepared with water, good timing, and never made us feel rushed. The pace of the whole day was well thought out so we could actually enjoy each site instead of just checking boxes. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Greek history and mythology, and he explained everything in a way that kept our group of five engaged even when we were tired. Safety and logistics were handled smoothly from start to finish, and having it as a private tour made it feel like the day was built just for us. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and especially Paddy, to anyone who wants to really understand Meteora, Delphi, and Thermopylae instead of just seeing them from a distance.”
