“I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering exploring other areas outside of Athens. Our tour guide, George, was excellent. His domestication of the English language was very good and he was easy to understand. George was knowledgeable about Delphi and extremely informative as we drove through the country side to get to Delphi. George was very considerate of the older members of the group keeping a manageable pace. Overall a fantastic tour!”
