- Candacw0 contributionsGreat tour of Acropolis and AgoraEva was a wonderful guide! She was so kind and very knowledgeable! She was able to customize our tour to our interests and made for an excellent tour!Written December 24, 2024
- dusko20 contributionsCouldn’t have been betterLisa provided an excellent tour of the Acropolis and ancient agora. She provided lots of fascinating details that we would never have known on a self guided itinerary. She paced the tour perfectly with consideration for our age and abilities. Definitely recommend.Written December 23, 2024
- travelablevacations0 contributionsOur favorite tour of the trip!We had a wonderful time learning about the history of Greece, Athens, and the Acropolis with our wonderful guide Eva (I hope I spelled that right!). She was knowledgeable and entertaining, and really made us feel at home in her city. We had one traveller with mobility problems, and she was very sensitive to that in helping us all get to the top. We all agreed that it was our favorite experience on the trip so far, and we thank Eva for that! Definitely go at sunset if you don't want to get up early. We took many beautiful pictures and even got to see them remove the flag at the end of the day. All in all, a wonderful time. Thank you Eva!Written December 5, 2024

She is an archeologist and so knowledgeable, answered all of my questions patiently, and expounded upon them when she could. She was able to float around a very busy museum with me, when I was in a motorized wheel chair without any trouble. Such a wonderful tour and expert tour guide!Written October 15, 2024
- BonnieBree0 contributionsGlorious introduction to the ParthenonKelly was our guide. She took us through the museum and gave us an overview of the history, art and culture of the Parthenon. We loved learning about the Greek deities and how they influenced the Athenians' lives. The museum is not to be missed. Then she led us on a tour of the Parthenon. She expertly led us through the crowds and pointed out the best photo spots. We learned so much in a short period of time. Wish I could give this tour 10 stars!Written October 14, 2024
- F2347OPhollyw0 contributionsLoved Our Tour and Guide!Lisa was an amazing tour guide. We will definitely share her info with friends and family. We traveled with our 3 children (ages 13, 11, and 8). Lisa was great with the kids and never skipped a beat when they got antsy. She was very personable and knowledgeable. She made the Acropolis one of my most favorite activities in Athens. The museum part was equally amazing. She described everything in detail and it made so much sense after just seeing the Acropolis. Definitely worth it!Written October 13, 2024

All interactions with David and Emma of WarmPenquin were professional with quick responses to questions. Our guide/driver Petro was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, friendly, very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and had a great sense of humor. He offered to take us up to Meteora the evening before the tour to see the sunset. Petro recommended the monasteries we should visit and they were wonderful. The hotel we stayed in was comfortable, clean and charming. The restaurants for lunch were delicious with great service.
Our guide at Delphi was also great. She was professional, knowledgeable, and managed the pace very well with 6 adults asking questions and touring the site and museum.
All in all, it was a great trip with exceptional guides! Thank you Warm Penquin.

We started our trip with this itinerary and it was amazing. The best part was our guide Petros. He just made it all the more special. He is so knowledgeable, kind and engaging. Gave us great insights to all the places we went to and gave us extra tidbits on great spots. Took so much care in making sure were happy, were able to get vegetarian options at all spots we ate, just made the whole experience all the more enjoyable.

Warmpenguin is top-notch. We searched for private tour that would allow us the best photography and cultural options and be easy to accomplish with a family of four. Warmpenguin was an excellent choice that we booked after reading reviews for all their tours and visiting their website. (Note that the price listed does not double with each member as other tour do, and for four there is plenty of space in the vehicle.) They are very responsive to questions and worked with us to get optimal sunset viewing at Meteora, our priority. If you are nervous in cars or have a family, please ask for Elias. He is an amazing person, so considerate, and without a doubt a professional driver. He has more than eight years experience with this company I believe and was ALWAYS safe and smooth in the driving. Since he is a family man himself, he understood when we needed to stop for snacks, an extra bathroom break, and even a pharmacy run. We laughed a lot together, and since he has done this tour many times, he knew how to make it "easy" such as the perk of dropping us off at an entrance and picking us up at an exit to save uphill walking in the heat. He also knows all the photo spots and was willing to take us to multiple places to get differing views as the sun changed. Since the roads are narrow, it is amazing to have a private driver who can edge into and out of the turnouts. I highly recommend him and hope he becomes your friend too. Delphi is a must see, and Varlaam was our favorite in Meteora. For those of you wondering about a group tour vs. a private tour, I can tell you that we would arrive at places before a crowd and could leave as wanted. This meant some sites we stopped quickly and moved on rather than having to wait for other tour members to load up or for a guide to buy and distribute tickets. At sunset we arrived an hour earlier (best time with the karst landscape) and stayed after the crowds left to get the orange glow. Perfect pacing, flexibility, and no bus schedules to worry about. I can't imagine not getting a chance to feel the calm serenity of this sacred area. For Delphi we hired a Warmpenguin guide for the fabulous museum who also kept us in the shade at the ruins. We loved all the chosen restaurants, and the owners gave us personal attention. Private drivers pick you up right outside your lodging, wait with the car during museum and site visits, and have their own meals separately at restaurants while also ensuring you never have to worry about tickets, bills, parking, tour guides, waters, proper air conditioning in the car, hotels, etc. All that means no organizing fatigue and better family harmony. I recommend booking an early departure to avoid traffic and have a chance to see the sunset, carrying day packs so your suitcases can remain in the back untouched, and using the trip as a way to transfer hotels if you need to save on that hassle. The distance between cities and even between monasteries in Meteora is farther than it looks on maps and their opening times vary so plan ahead for drive times if you have a particular goal in mind. Then know that you can trust Warmpenguin to get you there safely and with expertise.

Vasilios is a super tour guide. He is generous with his time, knowledgeable, charming and thoughtful. You are lucky if you get this guy as your guide. The trip to meteora was beyond our greatest imagination. He took us to superb, picturesque restaurants, little towns and unforgettable beach. One of a kind experience!!! Thank you so much.

Dear Irene, it is us who should thank you for choosing our tour, we are glad you enjoyed your time together with us in Greece. Delphi & Meteora are one of the best combinations of sites & beautiful landscapes in Greece so we are happy you enjoyed that to the fullest. For us the seemingly small additional efforts are built into our tours and a main part of what we want to offer which we are sure make the difference between a good tour a great one to be remembered.

We just enjoyed the most amazing tour of Delphi, Meteora, and Thermopyhylae with our tour guide Yanis. He was extremely knowledgable and made our trip so enjoyable. The restaurants that he picked out for us were also outstanding. We can't say enough great things about this company. We will definitely book with them again!
