Special treat private tour

My partner & I enjoyed my trip to Meteora & Dephi with our driver & guide, Manos. He knows his history really well. He tried his best to make a long day fun & comfortable. Although it was 14 hrs, it did not seems that long. He even went out of his way at the end to show us the best spot to see the Acropolis lit up at night.

Great way to see a lot in a day, and to learn a lot from our driver

We weren't sure about booking a private tour and for such a long time and distance, but we are really glad we did. We felt we did as much as we wanted to at both Meteora and Delphi, but in just one day and without having to pack and repack and our luggage. The tour lasted about 13.75 hours, including lunch, but it truly didn't seem nearly that long. Our driver/guides, Manos. was a high point. He was very attentive to our needs and wants, and he adjusted the agenda accordingly. He took us to numerous great viewpoints that we would not have seen otherwise. He has a master's degree in history, and he provides lots of historical insights, and he provided both historical context and directions for how to go when we visited the Delphi archeological site and museum, the Varlaaam monastery, and the site of the famous battle of Thermopylae.. We had a lively conversation which helped the trip pass quickly. We never felt unsafe in the car, on the superhighway or the winding mountain roads. Overall, an A+ experience

Worth the time

This was a great last full day of our vacation. And it was a full day, pickup at 6am and drop off at 8pm. Wonderful to see the parts of Greece most tourist don’t get to. Delphi and Meteora were amazing. Our guide marselo was polite, informative, and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend.

We had the BEST time with Marcellus. He was so knowledgeable and sweet. Made sure we were comfortable and happy along the way and the best story teller. He provided great conversation during our full day to the sites. Would happily pay the money for the experience again. Thank you Marcellus for our wonderful day to delphi, thermopylae, and meteora! All our best- Dana and Corey from Canada :)
