Thanks Aphrodite for a great tour!”

“Our guide George was so kind, caring, and informative. The trip was immaculately planned and every detail felt thought out. I really appreciated the details of getting to stop for a moment to take photos of scenic Arahova from the lookout at the end of the tour and the fact that we stopped at a restroom before plunging into Athens traffic on the way home. Delphi itself was absolutely gorgeous. The ruins were well preserved and having the mountains of Greece as a backdrop made it all the more awe inspiring. The climb was doable because we had ample time to make it taking breaks along the way.”

“This was a fabulous tour through a mountainous region to Delphi. Spectacular views. Our guide, Jordan, was extremely knowledgeable and was gracious in answering many questions. He was as good through the ruins as in the museum. The ruins, were a look back in time we can only imagine . There was alot of steep climbing, but with the right shoes (good runners), it was no problem. I'm 70, and I could keep up with the rest. I had been doing alot of walking, to prepare for these climbs....a huge help, and a huge recommendation. Well worth the money. Lunch was amazing!”
