Traveler reviews
BEST EXCURSION, but book the 4 star
This was an amazing trip! This is by far the best thing we did on our 2.5 week trip through Europe. The pictures do not do Meteora justicw. Our guide Constantina was fantastic, answering all our questions and providing factoids along the bus ride when we passed anything of note. Her voice is very soothing (she should do podcasts!). You won't have time to do *everything* at Delphi, but I thought it was totally worth it for our guide's knowledge and our bus drivers expertise in navigating the Athens traffic (OMG) and mountain roads. I'm SO GLAD we didn't try to drive ourselves!!! We stayed at the 3 star hotel. The food was good, but the room was terrible. The shower was so small, broken, and musty that neither my partner or I used it. I would opt for the 4 star if I did it again, though the 3 is ok for just 1 night. I wish we had more info about what the differences were between the 2 before choosing. One thing that is easy to miss in the description if you dont read carefully: the dress code for the monasteries. Women need to wear a skirt past the knees and men pants. Scarves are provided by the monasteries to borrow to wrap around your waist if needed so not a big deal if you forget/miss it.
Very nice your
Great tour. Knowledgeable guide. Safe driver. Nice and clean bus. Information before the trip was all about last minute. Would also have liked more hotel info ahead so we could have brought swimsuits and used the sauna. Meteora was so crowded which is nothing the tour company can control of countless but it took some of the beauty off. Meteora is an amazing place and so is Delphi.
Just as described.
Both Delphi and Meteora sites were very interesting. The trip was just as planned. Easy pick up and drop off.
An unforgettable trip, with excellent infrastructure and attentive guides
The tour was divided into two parts, with different guides. The visit to Delphi was excellent, but the time was too short and insufficient to visit the museum and the stadium. It would be better to leave Athens at least an hour earlier. The visit to the monasteries in Meteora was impressive, and access is much easier than it seems. The hotel we stayed at was a show in itself, too bad it was only for one night!
Good except for dinner. The suggestion is to delete it for those who want to
The tour is marvelous. The only weak point is dinner. Below the review. Extremely dry chicken, rice and potatoes bathed in olive oil. I believe there should be an option without dinner since there are several options with varying prices near the hotel
