The van was full, but the tour was exceptional. Great value for a trip to Delphi from Athens. Restaurant for lunch boasts a beautiful view and traditional Greek dishes. Additionally, the cave tour was an added bones other tour agencies do not typically include. Overall, my group was very satisfied with the experience.

Excellent experience!

Be prepared for a 12 hour excursion, they do not skimp on the items from the itinerary. Also bring sturdy shoes with good traction as the sites you will visit are not a city sidewalk. The information provided by the driver was excellent. He was willing to share his knowledge and explain how it shaped Greek culture. I recommend this tour to anyone looking for an a full day of learning and viewing the beauty of Greece.

Great historical experience
