Great trip!
This was a very organized tour. We were picked up on time and believe that the tour organizer did their best to ensure we experienced the best of each site. The hotel was clean and right in the centre of town. The buses/vehicles were adjusted to the group size. The tour guide was excellent. I'm very happy that I selected this tour to go to Meteora and Delphi.
Very engaging tour with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. The hotel was welcoming and comfortable.
