Join us and live your myth with max 8 guests. In our way as we drive we'll see Marathon, the start of the original marathon race, the city of Thiva and the spot where Oedipus killed his father, according to the Aeschylus tragedy , and we will stop at the celebrity ski resort village of Arachova.
Next stop is Delphi for 2 hours.
Lunch in Delphi with magnificent view of Delphi riviera and the biggest valley of olive trees in Greece.
After, off-road drive at a height of 1400m / 4593f visiting the corycian cave, the 1st oracle since 4.000 b.c. not full excavated yet.
Next stop will be at Thermopylae (hot gates) :
^ Leonidas and 300 Spartans monument
At Delphi is not allowed to be your guide but I will give a book guide and as we drive for 2 hours I will explain the myths and historical events in ancient Greece not only for Delphi but concerning religion, the immortality of the soul with the Eleusinian mysteries, the culture, and the sciences.

Panagiotis was a great tour guide! My husband and I were in a small group with 5 other travelers. He made sure he explained everything at each site, was clear on exactly where the meeting points were afterwards and answered all of our questions. Very happy with our experience.

This was a long day trip but the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Although we knew that we would not have a guide for Delphi I felt that impacted our experience. I also would have liked to be in a larger Van especially for this long of a trip- we were tightly packed and the sound system didn’t work well.

Above and beyond the typical Delphi tour. Kostas drove us to areas others rarely see, helping us experience more sites and depth in Greek history.

Our tour guide Pan was great. He’s definitely a history buff. The sites were very nice to see. The cave was my favorite part of the trip. The view from the restaurant was amazing. Only downside was the smell of cigarettes in the van. Other than that, it was a great tour.

We had a great time discovering Delphi and surroundings in a small group with our guide/driver Anastasios. I have car sickness and I often feel nauseous on loopy mountains roads, but Anastasios drove smoothly and I didn’t feel sick at all. He taught us many things about Greece’s history and culture. I highly recommend this tour if you want to be more comfortable and have a more personal experience than with the cheaper, big bus tours.

Pan was an excellent guide! He had lots of great information on the sites and got us to each one efficiently and safely. We were able to see a lot of cool sites in just a day trip. Our favorite was definitely Delphi! It has some spectacular views! Overall, a great way to get out of Athens for a day!

We – my wife and I – can highly recommend the trip. We come from Germany and China – and we are not English native speakers, but the guide tried to use simple language. He did a great job. The highlight of the trip was certainly Delphi and the battlefield where the 300 died. Anyone who likes history is in good hands here. The explanations of the geography of the battlefield were also excellent. Looking back, it was the best trip of our vacation to Greece!

Ended up being just me as others dropped out from the tour but still had a really great time. Going to the cave was definitely a highlight of the trip and seeing the battlefield from 300 was really cool too. And of course Delphi was amazing.

A fine tour made better by our driver cum guide - Anastasios.. He's welcoming, hospitable, a great storyteller & by the end of the tour it feels like one knows him for a long time.. He's a highly experienced driver, for driving up to the cave was no joke.. He made sure that we were well & comfortable throughout the tour.. He offered us water, lemonade, snacks etc & took us to a really nice restaurant with a lovely view & fine food..
The sights, the vistas & the experience that this tour offered were incredible.. Though I wish we had a guided tour of Delphi (it was a self guided tour with the help of a guidebook).. It was quite a feeling to visit Thermopylaes (hot gates/springs, battleground, King Leonidas's monunent & the shrine where his body was securely kept after his demise) & to learn about all that happened in the battle..
I must mention that our pick up & drop (right outside our dwelling) were absolutely seamless.. Overall, it was a day well spent.. Thank you Anastasios..
