Customer Reviews
Our tour guide was amazing! She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Delphi was exactly as expected! Lots of climbing and very hot- but worth it! Arachova was meh. I had high hopes, but there wasn't enough time to really explore and the stray dogs made us sad. Not enough time to eat and shop.
Wonderful trip with Vangelis. Very knowledgeable of Ancient Greek history and would provide small stories and discussion during the trip. Also very approachable for food suggestions, wine bars, other archeological sites to visit as well as other destinations within Greece. Thank you for a wonderful trip.
