Really fantastic to see the monastries perched up on those rocky pinacles. The tour couldn't have been any better. We loved the accommodation as well. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent trip with world class highlights at Delphi and Meteora. Expect some long drives, but scenery is beautiful and mountainous. Included is some free time to do your own thing, a well balanced tour. Guides are good, enthusiastic and well organised.

If you are still considering whether to go on this tour, do not hesitate! Delphi and Meteora are the "must see" places in Greece and indeed they are amazing, especially Meteora. Organization of the tour was perfect, hotels could not have been better each had a pool so you could cool off a bit after a long day but the best was the tour guide. Thanks to her, we got to know Greece, Greek tradition and habits much better. The trip was one of the best I had. Efharisto thank you in Greek Viator and the local agency!

We did this tour back in September, and it was very good. The guides were excellent, especially in terms of giving an overview of the history and constructions. The hotels were very good, and all in all we were able to see much more at a cheaper price than we could have arranging things on our own. We priced a few different options, and this tour was the best on paper for value for money. And now that we've done it, we agree that it was very worthwhile.

I enjoyed the tour. The monasteries at Meteora were amazing. Tour guides were knowledgeable. One thing that could've been improved was informing people if they would be joining other groups later in the tour at the start of the tour. On day 1, I was with a group of people that went to Delphi. When we got to the hotel for lunch, I was told I would be joining another group tomorrow since the group I was with would be returning to Athens. I had to ask the tour guide more questions for more info. I would appreciate this info early on so I would not be caught off caught.

We had a fantastic trip, the tour guides, hotels as well as locations are recommended for all fellow travellers. The 2 day trip option is also available, however the 3 day option is perfect for those looking for a relaxed tour with a half day break for recuperation. The guides were very informative and shared insights on Greek culture, mythology, education as well as demographics. Excellent experience!

The trip was spectacular we really enjoyed Delphi and Meteora it was well worth the money and I would recommend it to all. The only negative was been dropped at the Delphi hotel without any feel back from the guide we didnt know what was going on or what was the plan for the next day we were at a loss.

The company does a good tour but make sure you are seeing all there is to see at each site. I think there are multiple versions at the same location. Upgraded hotel in Delphi has a great location, the one at Metora is well outside town. The stops are all good for photos and the time alloted is plenty to see what there is to see.

3 star rating: Worth doing

Bus transfers were a little confusing. Spend less time in Delphi and more in Meteora - had some of day 1 as free time and all morning and part afternoon of day 2 in Delphi as well.

I felt that we had too much free and easy time e.g. the 2nd day trip to Meteora, we only departed at mid-day 1:30pm so a lot of time wasted.

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

Reviewed by Owen B, October 2012

The tour was good but my main criticism was the fact that we were dumped in Delphi for 24 hours before being picked up by another tour to continue to Meteora where we only had time to see two monasteries. Also, the tour did not take. Us to the Temple of Athena at Delphi which means the tour only really takes you to half of Delphi.

A bit of a take. You travel to Delphi on 1 tour and spend that day and until 1400 hrs the next in Delphi. Then on to Meteora to overnight and the 3rd day to the monastries and back to Athens. In effect we wasted a day.

The first guide was fantastic! The second guide wasn't nearly as good, we couldn't really understand him, and he seemed constantly stressed out. On the way back, you are dropped off at your hotel. As we were traveling to Crete that night, we asked to be dropped to Piraeus as we thought the bus would pass right by. He rudely said there was no way to be dropped off there, but we passed by right where we needed to go but had to pay extra metro fare and waste an hour to get there from the center because the guide didn't feel like being helpful. The hotels were OK, the food wasn't great and the included meals are all buffets. Also none of the hotels had a double bed, just two singles stuck together, which may be an issue for you. It certainly was not comfortable. The sites are spectacular and should be done. Your call on whether the tour is the way to go. Viator wasn't the best experience for us - their customer service is pretty horrific. My advice is to find another tour.

My family was extremely disappointed with this tour. We left Athens on a three day tour, but after visiting Delphi sites were were taken to the hotel and left without any information. We were then left to join another tour group.Our new guide did not contact us when she arrived that evening and were told that she went out with a friend. When visiting Delphi the next day we missed much of the archeological site as the museum time took too long, but she was happy to waste 2 hours at lunch, not close to town, whilst the group struggled to order.She was again no where in sight. The accommodation at both Delphi and Kalambaka were 2 star at best, instead of 4, and not close to any town or attraction. On our visit to Meteora our guide wore a dress well above the knee after instructiung the group to wear long dresses or skirts. Which many people found inappropriate. In summary, our guide facilitated the journey at best. She was uncaring, and uninterested in the well being of the group and certainly not engaging. The driver was excellent, helpful and delivered us safely and we thank him for that. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. The time was not well utilised, the way that it was organised it could have been done in 2 days. We could have had a much better experience, given the spectacular beauty of the places we visited. Disappointing and not good value for money! This was generally the opinion of the other travellers as well.

The first day to Delphi was very good, and the tour guide was excellent. The second and third day were disappointing, with hours on the bus to spend just two hours in Meteora, and the guide was poor and spoke very little.
