        Amazing luxury tour fair price! Must do!
        While traveling we tend to have a hard time choosing tours due to the size and ages of our family (2-71). We currently are in Athens and checked with our concierge for an evening tour of the acropolis and Olympic stadium which they didn’t have to offer. We prefer private tours to suite our needs with small children and a father with mobility issues. Today I googled for tours and found this one on viator it checked all of the boxes and was a very affordable price. The Mercedes van has a small table with drink holders and 14 seats. We met Yianis Pappas our tour guide who was welcoming, professional and very knowledgeable. He showed us around Athens we opted to not get out at some places as we were there yesterday but it was great knowing what we were actually taking pictures of and the stories behind the places. I would 1000% book with him again. Outside of watching the sunset at the acropolis my other favorite was seeing changing of the guards in front of the Presidents house. Learning bout their military reasons for their symbolic uniforms and every day Greek way of life. It was an excellent tour and would recommend Yianis P! -Kaitlyn

        Fantastic tour made even better by Yianis, our guide/driver! The van was big and comfortable, the sites were covered amazingly. Yianis gave us comprehensive information on every site, made sure we understood where everything was and most importantly, was very patient with all our questions! He was funny and real. Definitely recommend!!

        Antonios Kardasis did an excellent job as a tour guide. I would recommend this tour. Having him drive you gives a nice break. The sites are large, so the walking would be a lot if you don’t take a driven tour. He was very knowledgeable. He & his vehicle were very clean.

        Great tour of Athens
        Andreas was our tour guide and he was totally awesome. He was a true Athens local that had a deep knowledge of the city. We did the tour on our last full day in Athens and we had seen some of the sights in the tour already and he rearranged the schedule to show us all new things we did not know about. He took us out for an amazing lunch outside the city that we never would have experienced on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

      Do not even hesitate to book this experience. Seriously just do it. My friend and I wanted to see Delphi and. Csme across this tour & with the previous reviews decided to give it a try. It was seriously the best tour we booked.

      Our driver Nasos was right on time picking us from our hotel. From there we chatted a bit about the Greek culture and coffee. We stopped to get a special type of coffee he was telling us about. It was delicious even my picky friend enjoyed it!

      We continued on our way to the Monastery where we were able to roam around for an hour and explore. When we returned to our van Nasos left a flower for each of us on our seats. Every time we got in and out Nasos was such a gentlemen opening and closing doors assuring we were comfortable and safe.

      On our way Nasos gave us a book all about Delphi to take with us to read about what we were seeing. He suggested if we could walk up to the stadium (we took that as a challenge) and we sure did! What a beautiful, hot, amazing walk up! We used the book along the way to read a bite about certain things.

      When we were done Nasos was waiting for us to take us to a beautiful restaurant over looking the country side of Greece. The food was incredible & the staff amazing. We truly loved this little spot for lunch.

      On our way back we stopped to grab some breath taking pictures.

      I can't say how much we enjoyed out time with Nasos. He was so friendly & kind. He really made us laugh and learn so much we didn't know! Seriously if you can request Nasos because he was outstanding as a driver for this day trip!

      The company itself was a breeze to work with and really made sure everything was taken care of. When your paying for a private trip this is exactly the experience you expect and we received more than we expected!

      Absolutely worth every penny! Do the private tour through this company and ask for our good friend Nasos! You won't be disappointed! Tell him his American girls said hi!!

      We just got back from a dream day trip to Delphi. Our driver and guide was Yiannis, who was really wonderfully knowledgeable about the history and mythology about the Delphi and the area as a whole. He picked us up on time at the hotel, regaled us with history and lore on the drive to the monastery, the site of the Delphic oracle, to the Temple of Athena; to a fantastic family restaurant nearby and finally to a scenic photo opportunity near Arachova. It was really a wonderful day that I will never forget. I cannot recommend this trip more - it is well worth the money.

      This was an excellent tour and we really enjoyed the day with our Guide Nasos! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and history of Greece. It is a long drive to get to the sites but it is worth the time, at least two hours each direction. It was wonderful to see Delphi, and the Temple of Apollo, and the original Olympic stadium. Be aware that climbing the site at Delphi is not easy, and definitely not a good idea for the elderly or people who are not in good shape. Be sure to visit the museum at Delphi because it was impressive. Even though the vehicle was a new Mercedes van I was not so happy with it, The seats are very stiff, the AC does not have a separate control for the backseat (the good Mercedes vehicles offer this) and for such a long trip there should be Wi-Fi offered in the van. For the high Price of this tour Olive sea should have a better vehicle.

      Had a fabulous time on our tour. Our driver, Terry, and our tour guide, Alice, picked us up at our hotel. We had a scenic ride through Greece countryside to the monastery of St. Loukas, which was very beautiful with amazing scenery. Then on to the amazing site at Delphi. Alice was very knowledgeable about the site and provided lots of information. The trek all the way to the stadium is a long one and mostly uphill, so wear good shoes! July is pretty warm and Terry brought water, but bringing a couple bottles never hurts and there is a small cafe outside the museum. The museum itself is small but interesting and is probably just the right size after the hike to the top. It took the full ten hours; we had dinner reservations in Athens so we grabbed a quick bite before returning back, but if we had had time, the views from the local restaurants looked stunning. The ride back was quicker via the main highway but less scenic; didn’t matter because most of us were napping anyway. But a great tour and worth the trip if you have a free day in Athens.

      It sounds like you had a truly fabulous tour with Terry and Alice, filled with breathtaking scenery, historical insights, and thoughtful touches to ensure your comfort. Your advice on footwear and bringing extra water is invaluable for future visitors. We're glad the museum visit was a fitting conclusion to your exploration. Thank you for sharing your experience and for recommending the tour. It's wonderful to hear that it was a highlight worth recommending for anyone with a free day in Athens.

      We had a wonderful experience & time exploring Delphi. Alex our driver was extremely kind, spoke excellent English and a safe driver. He picked us up promptly at the hotel and kept us apprised of the day’s itinerary and traffic time. He also took us to a spectacular lunch and made an extra stop for us to see the Kastilian springs & Arachova. The car was clean, well maintained, and good AC. The drive was stunning with all the mountain and valley views. We had plenty of time (2 hours) to view the ancient site & museum. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone! It was fantastic!!

      Our guide was the wonderful Nasos, the best person we could have hoped for - patient, easy-going, and hilarious with tons of stories about the history, culture, and mythology of Greece in general, and Delphi in particular. Felt like we were driving around with a knowledgeable pal rather than a guide, and we were very relieved every time we saw a huge tour bus that we got to just be with Nasos. As for the trip itself, so good to go inland, away from the coast, and into the totally different world of forested mountains where so much Greek history has unfolded. Delphi has been beautifully restored and was wonderful to explore. Museum is also great, and so was the restaurant we ate at, overlooking the biggest olive tree plantation on earth.

      Delphi is breathtakingly beautiful, nestled in the mountains. George, our driver was amazing. He told us about the history and culture of Greece and made the almost 3 hour trip one-way pass very quickly. He never rushed us and took us to a lovely place for lunch as well.

      We had a great trip to Delphi with Olive Sea travel. Our tour leader, Ioanna, and driver, Tas, were both so friendly and helpful. Ioanna really knows her stuff and offers great and thoughtful background about the site and really sets the scene. The stop at Hosios Loukas on the way is 100% worth it. Perfect day out. We really felt like we were catching a ride to Delphi with old friends rather than on a paid tour. Highest recommendation!

      We had our Tour with Alexander and it was very pleasent. He made sure we had everything we might need while beeing very nice and welcoming. He also explained sights along the way and was very knowledgebal in general about history. He also gave us interesting infos about Delphi and the monastry and recommendation what to do, which was worth it.
      Afterwards we got a recommendation for lunch and it was delicious with the perfect view.
      I would definitly recommend this Tour, way more fun than a normal bus Tour.

      Andreas with Yomadic Tours provided excellent services and was a personable and attentive driver. He was patient and able to address several questions about Delphi's historical aspects. We enjoyed his fun and excellent communication style. We believe every tourist should take advantage of the services and individual attention we have received.
