He had an encyclopedic knowledge of Greek history and was able to share it in an interesting way. Lots of fascinating anecdotes, and he was able to answer all of our questions. After the tour, he took us to a Greek restaurant in town, which was probably the best meal we had during our entire vacation.Written 6 February 2025

We were only in Athens for a few hours, but Sebastian did a fabulous job of making sure we saw all of our top requests. We got a historical recap that provided a summary of the amazing history, different cultures & then went to visit the actual sites up close-surreal!! Sebastian could answer any of our questions & did a great job adjusting the focus to the ancient historical places & stories for us. The dining experience was great & we had some of our favorite food of our trip. Overall WELL worth the money & will go down as a seriously EPIC experience.Written 4 February 2025

Paddy arrived a few minutes early to begin the day. He contacted me to let us know he was in the lobby. We left on time to begin the tour. He was informative, interesting, and extremely gracious throughout the day. He obviously loved the history of Greece and helped bring it alive for our group. We saw everything on the itinerary. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. The meal at the end of the tour was excellent. It was an expertly prepared farm to table experience that we all enjoyed immensely. We would highly recommend this tour and our new friend Paddy if you are in AthensWritten 2 February 2025
- Gottagetaway770 contributionsGreat road trip to see 2 fantastic locationsGeorge was a great tour guide and driver for our 12 hour day together. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone wanting to see these sites in 1 day outside of Athens. We had just the right amount of breaks/snacks. Absolutely worth it! Amazing sites, great guide, great service, a long day but worth while if seeing Olympia & Temple of Apollo are on your bucket list.Written 22 January 2025

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and came prepared with child drinks and snacks. The tour ended with a fantastic lunch that included a sampling of many local dishes. There was plenty for both of us. Overall this was a great your and we are very glad we did it. Would recommend to others!Written 17 January 2025

The Meteora, Thermopylae and Delphi trip was an amazing experience. Sebastian is a very friendly and knowledgeable driver who went out of his way to make sure that we enjoyed every bit of the journey. He provided a captivating narration of the history of the landmarks and monuments we visited. There was plentiful provision of water and soft drinks kept cold in ice, and snacks. The ride took a few hours and the Mercedes vehicle was perfect for comfort. At the end of the trip, we were treated to a sumptuous Greek dinner included in the price of the tour. All in all, we will heartily recommend this tour to family and friends.

This was the most beautiful tour we have ever been on. The views of the monasteries are breathtaking! Pictures can’t even describe it!
Dimos was our tour guide and he was wonderful! It’s a long day, but he made several stops if needed, grabbed us fresh peaches from the road, took us to a wonderful shop, let us stop and take any pictures we wanted! He enjoyed to the views as much as we did! For dinner he ordered for us and it was all amazing! He came and ate with us and just visited like an old friend! We would definitely do again!
There is a dress code for men and women in the monastery so be sure to dress appropriately.

We took our tour with Paddy, who is very knowledgeable and took great care of us. He was very knowledgeable about history and lectured in an entertaining and educational manner as we drive for hours. The tour is nearly 500 miles and runs from 6am pickup to 8p finishing the included dinner. But the Mercedes is comfortable with AC and Paddy provided ice water and snacks. He would stop for anything we needed, but also scheduled the tour to avoid the majority of the crowds. Each of the 3 sites were great. Be aware of the dress code at the monasteries (no bare knees or shoulders), but they provide skirts for women to borrow if needed. Paddy offered choices for dinner after, and wanted us to experience a restaurant for locals, which was tasty.

Private tour to Delphi, Thermopylae and the monasteries Meteora. This has been one of my favorite tours I have ever taken. From 6am until 8pm. The driver, Dallas was extremely professional and it was like taking an intense course in Greek history. I can’t say enough about how Dallas made this tour exceptional. Delphi is spiritual, Thermopylae plain, but being myself half-Persian it had special meaning, and the monasteries at the top of the rock formed mountains are incredible and left me in awe. It began snowing lightly which gave it that much more of a magical expericlence. The tour ends with a dinner at a restaurant owned by the tour company in Athens where I had traditional Greek food.

Well, if you read the previous reviews, you don’t need me to repeat all the wonderful things we got to learn about Theodore and his services. He is hands down the best tour guide and drive in Greece. We used three of his tours and visited the most significant historic places in the southern , northern and western Greece. The tours are not cheap but considering the number of places you cover in a day and the quality of service you receive from him, they’re of phenomenal deals. Theodore has smartly designed these tours so his clients would efficiently utilize their valuable time in Greece and maximize the number of places they could visit. He is punctual, courteous, knowledgeable about greek history and extremely passionate about his country and culture. He was very patient with us taking pictures and never rushed us despite going over time. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable time. It’s worth mentioning that he offered help in regards to finding a place to do COVID test on our last day in Greece. While visiting Delphi Archeological site, he made some phone calls and found a pharmacy close by so we could get our test done. Another day, in Mycenae, my son dropped his cellphone before getting into the van from a store on the road buying ice cream and noticed it missing after 15 minutes of driving. Theodore, called the store using the receipt to see if they have found it and when they said no, he drove all the way back with no fuss to find the phone and to our utter happiness, we found the iPhone on the side of the road where my son had entered his car. We were so lucky!
In conclusion, have no qualm about booking any of his tours. They would be the best, most convenient and memorable tours you’ll have in Greece.
P.S. Dinners were amazing with great selections of local dishes. The thoughtful gifts of greek statues for adults and books for kids relevant to our tour were great parting event and lasting memories of our trip to Greece and our tours.

We do this with our heart and I think that's the most important thing. Thank you so much again and I hope I could serve you again with another must-do and exclusive tour of ours!

We had an amazing experience !! Our tour guide Demos was very knowlegeable and told us various stories and historical facts that were outside the scope of our tour itinerary. He took us to various small town places to enhance our sighseeeing and shopping experience. Demos also showed us various scenic place so we can capture memories and take photographs. The views of Delphi and Meteora were breathtaking and the site of Thermopylae brought history to life. Will surely visit again in few years.

George was an amazing tour guide and driver. He was punctual, told us about our destinations prior to and during our arrival, so we knew what to look out for. Having a personal tour was worthwhile, as we were able to see so much in just 1 travel day, and we were able to make specific requests such as how much time to spend at certain stops, which monasteries to go to, and ask for short stops for photo opportunities we found along the way. The meal at the end was great. The ride was comfortable and roomy. We are very happy with this tour experience, and we recommend to everyone.

Superb day. If coming to Athens, you must do a day trip to Meteora at minimum, as well as Delphi. Meteora is stunning, Our driver Dimos was exceptional - very chatty, very knowledgeable, very caring and kind. He made the day memorable and also my wife’s birthday special without even asking. Lunch and breakfast suggestions from him were superb. When visiting the monasteries take cash with you for entrance as not all take card- just a tip. Great day. Good communication. Recommended. Thank you to Dimos for making this a memorable day for us.
