Long ride from Athens but great site at temple of Athena and Delphi. Spent plenty of time at different locations, time for pictures. Our Guide Peter very knowledgeable and took good care of 3 of us seniors. Good driving skills on narrow mountain switchback roads. Not a lot to see at Thermopylae but cool to be at actual site, also bathroom break on way to Delphi. Nice choice of restaurant for lunch (we pay) with view over valley. Extra stop at scenic overlook, got fabulous photos of valley and mountains where ancients landed to come see oracle at Delphi. Ruins at Delphi in pretty good condition, well kept site with museum and bathrooms.

10/10 ripper tour! Huge shout out to our guy George for such a great day! Kept us informed with a wealth of knowledge on EVERYTHING Greek… the history, sites, local recommendations and even taught us some words. If you’re coming to Athens book through Ancient Greece Tours and ask for George for an unforgettable experience.
