Our tours are about people and we have always been good with people! We skip the obvious places and we do not compromise quality to create a "cheaper' tour.
You will experience some of the most stunning archaeological sites that Greece has to offer, including the Temple of Apollo, Athina Pronaia & the Stadium. Transporting you back through the ages, this tour will also bring you to Arachova, a village built out of stone, and Osios Loukas, a 1,000 years old monastery at a beautiful location to treat you to a coffee.
The convenience for your group of 1-8 people is unbeatable, pick-up and drop-off right at your Athens hotel. You can leave all the planning up to your driver/tour leader; an expert in creating a great experience for you.
* The tour is truly private, not only in a small group.
* Expect punctuality, friendliness, and professionalism.
* Eat and drink what the locals eat away from the touristy spots.
* Includes a stop at Athina Pronaia, a site at Delphi that many visitors miss

    The sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the 'navel of the world'. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious center and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.

    The Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most important in Greece, exhibits the history of the Delphic sanctuary, the site of the most famous ancient Greek oracle. Its rich collections are comprised primarily of architectural sculptures, statues, and minor objects donated to the sanctuary. The famous Charioteer belonged to a statuary complex of a chariot run by four horses and included a second male figure. The Sphinx of the Naxians, dated to 560 BC, comprises one of the earliest representations in art of the demonic creature with a lion's body, bird's wings and a woman's head.
