2-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens

Posted By : Sarah_H
I visited Greece with no car, so this was the best option for me to get to Delphi and Meteora - two must-see places I wanted to go. Jordan and Dimitris were excellent hosts. They were thoughtful and thorough. Jordan was very good at filling time with tidbits of information even when we were held up in traffic. He made the time fly by, and Dimitris always had his hand extended to us to help us down the steps of the bus - quite the gentleman. Both sites were incredibly busy, but that was to be expected given their popularity. Jordan did an excellent job of keeping the group together and on schedule. The hotel accommodations were lovely and I enjoyed all the provided food options, as well as the frequent opportunities to stop and stretch and see a few extras along the way, such as the monument to King Leonidas. That was an added bonus that I didn’t expect and Jordan told the story of the Battle at Thermopyles well. All together a wonderful trip. Thank you!

Big group tour with good quality for the price. Delphi tour was good but the guide was explaining too much and kept the group under the sun until the last minute before the 30min free time. I was getting concerned that some elderly people might get a heat stroke in that weather. I don’t remember her name. She was wearing pink sunglasses. The hotel was pretty nice. Dinner was not good and breakfast was okay but can’t complain with this price. Monasteries tour was very good and relaxing. The guide and the driver were nice. The guide was explaining well and kept the balance of getting people involved and giving them rest. She was very patient with the big group. Forgot her name but she was very good. The driver George was very kind and very good at driving.

The guides were very informative. The hotel was comfortable and helped with my dietary restrictions. The bus was comfortable.

The landscape in Meteora and Delphi stunning. Could have done without some of the restaurant choices. Guide I had from Delphi to Meteora informational but did not engage otherwise.

Loved both sites and especially having Meteora to ourselves in perfect weather. Guides and driver and hotel fantastic.

meteora was the best experience because it was for me difficult to imagine people living at such a high altitude without any family

Delphi was amazing and we wish we had spent more time there. Meteora is a beautiful photo but was not as interesting. Both tour guides were well informed and interesting. Bus drivers were amazing. When we booked this, we saw the other reviews that commented on the drive time and said “meh we can handle it”. In retrospect, it was just too much time on a bus winding through mountains. Lovely but gave me motion sickness. We wish we had done the Delphi one day tour instead. If you are looking for a more complete agenda of the trip, here you go: Day 1 830 - leave Athens; stop about 1 hour from Delphi for restrooms 12 - 115 - view archeological site of Delphi (about 50 minutes with guide and 20 minutes on your own); museum is NOT included 115-145 - transfer to Amalia Delphi to join bus with tour group doing 4-day tour 2-3 - lunch in Delphi - tour services place but not bad 3-7 - drive to Kalabaka with 2 rest stops Stay overnight at Amalia Kalabaka - food here was bland and buffet style Day 2 815 - leave for Meteora 845- 1130 - Touring two monasteries with a couple picture stops; about 20-30 minutes on your own at each monastery 12 - 1 - lunch stop; this place was pretty bad but catered to large tour groups 1-7 - drive to Athens with 2 rest stops

It was a great experience for both my Wife and me. The narrator and great driver (like a chauffeur) made the bus ride very comfortable and effective, with multiple rest stops, and stories. The Delphi and Meteora were must sees. Hotel and dinner stop for the overnight trip, were more than adequate, and wide distribution of food choices and desserts. Cost was appropriate. I have always been adverse to considering a bus tour. This changed my mind. An overnight bag was definitely a great idea, instead of our giant bags for our total 15 day trip.
