Pan was an excellent guide! He had lots of great information on the sites and got us to each one efficiently and safely. We were able to see a lot of cool sites in just a day trip. Our favorite was definitely Delphi! It has some spectacular views! Overall, a great way to get out of Athens for a day!

We – my wife and I – can highly recommend the trip. We come from Germany and China – and we are not English native speakers, but the guide tried to use simple language. He did a great job. The highlight of the trip was certainly Delphi and the battlefield where the 300 died. Anyone who likes history is in good hands here. The explanations of the geography of the battlefield were also excellent. Looking back, it was the best trip of our vacation to Greece!

Ended up being just me as others dropped out from the tour but still had a really great time. Going to the cave was definitely a highlight of the trip and seeing the battlefield from 300 was really cool too. And of course Delphi was amazing.

A fine tour made better by our driver cum guide - Anastasios.. He's welcoming, hospitable, a great storyteller & by the end of the tour it feels like one knows him for a long time.. He's a highly experienced driver, for driving up to the cave was no joke.. He made sure that we were well & comfortable throughout the tour.. He offered us water, lemonade, snacks etc & took us to a really nice restaurant with a lovely view & fine food.. The sights, the vistas & the experience that this tour offered were incredible.. Though I wish we had a guided tour of Delphi (it was a self guided tour with the help of a guidebook).. It was quite a feeling to visit Thermopylaes (hot gates/springs, battleground, King Leonidas's monunent & the shrine where his body was securely kept after his demise) & to learn about all that happened in the battle.. I must mention that our pick up & drop (right outside our dwelling) were absolutely seamless.. Overall, it was a day well spent.. Thank you Anastasios..
