“The day trip was absolutely amazing! Timing wise everything was planned efficiently and we never stood in queues. The pickup was organised outside the city centre so we did saved a lot of time at Delphi. Our driver-guide, Kostas, was amazing! He provided lots of great stories about Greece, suggested where to eat. Some tourists got late and we were delivered to the next spot, while Kostas got back to find missing people. So no tourists were left behind and full group came back to Athens. Absolutely nice and would recommend it!”
