It was a nice.bus ride with a great view.
Really great experience, beautiful bus ride and beautiful temple!
We took the Delphi tour with Katarina. She was incredibly knowledgeable and so thorough in her explanations. We highly recommend this tour!
This tour is very fun and meaningful. Katerina is a wonderful tour guide who is very funny and knowledgeable and makes us feel welcome. We learned a lot in this tour through her patience and help. The places are beautiful.
No actual tour during the walk around of the temple, but the drive up is beautiful and information about the temple is shared then
Very pleasant and very interesting. I liked it a lot.
Our tour guide prioritized our pick up and transition to the Temple. Kay had great insight in to Ancient Greek culture and current events. She gave fun stories about the stories and myths of Athens.
Amazing day. Punctual. Good driver, comfortable bus, air conditioning, reclining seats. Clean. Easy to book on the internet. We did everything listed: Corint Canal, Micene, Napflio, Epidaurus. Absolutely wonderful day! I will always remember this day, 18.06.2026. Full of history. Our guide, Mariana, was absolutely wonderful, so much knowledge delivered very clear. Soothing voice. Wireless audio for everybody, good quality. I should have bought the lunch with the group, 18 euros for a full menu is a great deal and they bring the food fast (in Napflio). I would have liked 15 more minutes in every place, felt a little rushed. At the Corint Canal many of took coffees adter seeing the Canal, but we were not allowed with them inside the bus so we were fast drinking them and somehow throwing in the bins - better to buy them directly after descending from the bus to have time to enjoy. I absolutely loved this day, the landscapes are amazing, toilets everywhere, you can buy all the tickets at the entrance of every place, although i recommend buying them in the bus with the websites told by your guide - so that you don t waste time at the entrance. Sunscreen, good shoes, full bateries, water, some snacks. Totally recommend.
