Delphi and Meteora ("suspended in the air") in a 2-day/1-night private tour.
Why this tour?
Because of the quality of the ride, the great tour leader, the non-touristy lunch & drinks!
☼ After dropping you off at Delphi, stroll around the area on a self-guided tour to see the Temple of Apollo and Athina Pronaia. Then, enjoy a great lunch—your driver's treat —at a location where Greeks eat out.
☼ We arrive at Meteora early enough for an extra (but included) late afternoon visit to the famous rocks. We spend the evening relaxing at a great hotel facing Meteora.
☼ Next morning, we'll explore the monasteries, which were a very safe hiding spot for the monks from the Romans. Depending on your fitness and availability, you'll visit two or three amazing monasteries.
Heading back to Athens will include a couple of relaxing stops: one for a great lunch & drinks & a second at the Thermopylae battlefield of the famous 300 of King Leonidas.

In early October, my daughter and I enjoyed a two day tour to Delphi and
Meteora, a perfect introduction to our two week stay in Greece. This
tour allowed us to explore Delphi and four of the amazing monasteries of Meteora at our own pace. Panayiotis, our guide, was a calm and competent driver as well as excellent company, answering our many questions and sharing helpful information on what we would see on our tour, as well as suggestions for our remaining time in Greece. He took us to restaurants and introduced us to dishes we might not have otherwise discovered, and, after surveying the buffet dinner at our hotel, surprised us with a delivery of excellent local souvlaki to our room. Additionally, he went out of his way to help us resolve a glitch with our ferry ticket to Crete.
Pickup at our hotel in Athens was right on time; the car was very clean and
comfortable. Our included hotel in Meteora boasted amazing views of the
impressive landscape. We highly recommend this tour!

We had the best time with Theo on our 2 day tour to Delphi and Meteora. We had to make some modifications to our trip due to other travel related time constraints. But Nikos and Theo accommodated our needs seamlessly while ensuring we had plenty of time to experience the two sites. For future travelers I would recommend doing the 2 day tour as it allows you more time at each location versus spending time driving back and forth from Athens.

This tour was amazing - - the archeology at Delphi was extremely well depicted and preserved. It is a very scenic site and quite easy for walking. The view from Delphi is stunningly beautiful! The adjacent museum is a modern building and the artifacts are well curated, with just the right amount of objects and descriptions.
Meteora was out of this world with fascination! The monasteries are beautiful, architectural wonders. The scenery is literally, breath taking - - photos cannot do this place justice, it's a must see!
Theo, our tour guide had a degree in archeology and history - - he was very knowledgeable and gave us a very good overview of each site. As well, he had answers to all of our questions. Theo (Theodore), made our trip a very pleasurable experience, he is most pleasant, helpful and has a sense of humour, all the while maintaining professionalism. His driving is excellent. My husband and myself are so very happy that we took this two-day tour, it was the highlight of our trip to Greece. I should mention the hotel chosen for our overnight stay was large, clean, modern and attractive.

If you are considering taking this tour, I do not think you will be disappointed. We had two wonderful days! Meteora is breathtaking, Theodore our guide was knowledgeable, polite, accommodating and always making sure we were comfortable and having a good time. The hotel was great, with beautiful views to Meteora and a very generous breakfast in the morning. We really enjoyed the lunches, food was delicious and abundant. I HIGHLY recommend this tour, especially if you are as lucky as we were to have Theodore as our guide.

This was a wonderful tour and we are very glad to have taken it. Meteora was unbelievable. Thodoris (driver) is an archeologist and was very nice. The lunches (on the way to and back from Meteora) were the best ones we had in Greece. I strongly recommend this two-day tour. Hotel was also great.

We went with Nikos (our guide) to Delphi and Meteora. Delphi was tremendous!! Recommend you have Nikos show you the amazing Temple of Athena Pronaia ( he said 90% of visitors don't even know it is there AND it was the place where the Oracle actually gave her answers). Nikos then took us to an authentic Greek lunch at a family run restaurant in a small village. I had a life altering experience when a dessert of hot lemon cake(right out of the pan) was served. What makes Nikos special is he is attentive and actually listens to to your wishes and makes things happen. After a night at a great hotel in Meteora we visited a few monasteries. Nikos asked us our "walking ability level" and steered us to the appropriate sites. The views were amazing!! I highly recommend this tour....but that lemon cake ..mmmm..

We wanted to see other parts of Greece than the normal tourist spots. I was a little nervous about going on a two day trip with an unknown person. However, Nikos G was very responsive and timely with answers to all of my questions. He asked what we wanted from food favorites to where we wanted to go. He took us to authentic local eateries and ordered things for us that were special and tasty.
Our hotel near Meteora had a beautiful view of the rocks. His car was new and very clean and he was an EXPERT driver....very sensitive to how fast I wanted him to go.
The most special thing was that he brought cookies that his wife made for us and then also brought a baklava surprise at the hotel. He was a good conversationalist when we wanted to talk but could be quiet also. We hired him twice again on the same trip. He is professional and friendly. When we return, we will definitely arrange another trip with Nikos G. He is top-notched in all ways.
