“Everything went well during the 2-day tour, with one disappointment. The tour guide finished the Delphi archaeological site tour at 1pm. She gave us 20 minutes to wander around, and asked us to get to the meeting point at 1:20pm. What she didn't tell us was that we didn't have time to visit Delphi museum. If we knew it, 20 minutes should be okay for us to briefly visit the museum. By contrast, more than one hour was spent for the lunch later.”

“Absolutely the best guided tour until now First, the transport is really considerate. The pick up and drop off point will be totally flexible Second, our guide, Vassel (don’t know if I spell it correct), is really knowledgeable and gave detailed information throughout the whole tour. And also, I really want to thank her for suggesting us visit Holy Trinity on the first day, which has the best view in my opinion. Our guide gives us the freedom to decide which one to visit.
