Our driver Christos was very knowledgeable and friendly. This was the only tour we found that went to Meteora and Delphi in one day. It was a long drive, but we are very happy we did it. Both sites are historically important and spectacular to see. Because this was a private tour, Christos was able to customize it a bit to our specific interests. Would definitely do it again.

We absolutely loved this tour. Every single stop was amazing and our driver Christos was the absolute best!! He didn’t make us feel rushed at all and we got to experience soooo many amazing sights. Meteora is breathtaking, truly incredible. And then Thermopylae was so beautiful and so many things to learn and see in Delphi! It’s a long day but worth every single minute. Highly, highly recommend!

We booked the luxury private tour of Meteora, Delphi, Thermopylae. Our tour guide is Chris and he is AMAZING! We are a family of five (my husband and I and 3 kids ages 3, 12, and 7). Chris was very knowledgeable and we learned A LOT during this tour. It was very educational and made us appreciate history. He answered all of our questions. He also did some trivia and games for the kids. There was never a dull moment. He took care of our family especially our kids, kept us safe and kept us curious about Ancient Greek history. Definitely the price of this tour is worth it. It was long and pretty much spent all day but we got the most out of it, from cultural significant to amazing views. We stopped and took pictures at all the spots that had the most amazing views! We went to the archaeological and heritage sites and he gave us meaningful explanations on each of the places we went to. We also had lunch at a tavern where they served really good Greek food!!!! Our family had such an amazing time, doing all what we wanted to do and see and be gave us options as well.. we highly recommend this tour and Chris as the tour guide! You won’t regret it! Thank you Chris, we will definitely come back!

This was a great tour. It is a long day but so worth it. Out tour guide Chris is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind. He started off by taking us to Delphi because we visited during winter hours and it would be closed if we tried to do Meteora first. This is just one example of his forethought in planning your trip to maximize your time. The guys really knows what he is doing. You must use WhatsApp to make your tour extremely smooth as you contact him in WhatsApp when you finish at each site and he picks you up. The temple of Apollo is truly amazing. Chris gave us a history of Delphi and the Oracles. I won’t include any spoilers but just remember to ask him about the “belly button” of the world, Pandora’s box, and the Trojan horse. Then we had a 3.5 hour drive to Meteora. Now a different temple is closed each day and Chris knows exactly which one is close Dan drill plan your tour accordingly. We arrived in time to see Megalo Meteroro first as that one closes at 14:00. This is the biggest monsters with amazing views. We he best views of each monastery are from the other monestaries of course. While we visited the monestary Chris thoughtfully got my family gyros wraps that my sone thought were the best he ever had. That really saved so much time. The next monastery we visited was the monestary of Rousanou. This had a wonderful walk through a zen like forest leading to the monestary. Then we visited Varlaam. This is the second largest monestary and the lift to move goods up the mountain was very cool. Pro tip use the restroom here it cost a euro but these are the best restrooms with western style toilets. After Varlaam we had time for one more monestary and that was the Holy trinity. This has the longest hike of the 6 monasteries but hike is worth it as you feel like it is “For Your Eyes Only”. St Stephanos was closed as it was a Monday. We saw all 6 monasteries and went into 4 of them plus Delphi. But we weren’t done yet. Next we saw the battle of 300 and hot springs on the way back. Finally Chris took us to Taverna Paradise which is a totally legit tavern where every patron is Greek. I asked Chris to order and he took us on a culinary tour of the the tavern. We had chicken, pork, veal, milk fed lamb, lamb, and sheep. Also hamburger, a special salad that had pomegranate, grilled cheese, house wine, and a crazy amount of dessert. To feed six people it was 110 euros. But really this food could have fed 8 people or even 10. Finally at about 11 pm Chris dropped us off at our hotel. What a great way to spend the day. He is such a hard working guy and so professional. This is one of only 2 companies that will do a private day tour to meteora and Delphi and it is definitely worth it. Hurry up and book it asap. I went to yomadic.tours. The operators website directly saved me about 100 euros and I’m sure they get more also. I was a little hesitant at first but Andreas the owner communicates with you promptly and made me feel very reassured booking on their site.

What an Amazing tour!!!! Our guide and driver, Chris, is the Best of the Best! From the moment he greeted us, till we said goodbye, Chris made us feel so welcomed and valued. We learned so much about the history and rich culture of Greece. He kept us engaged with wonderful stories, fantastic music and he helped answer so many of our questions as well. This tour with Chris was the absolute highlight of our Greece trip! Thank You Chris for such a fun and exciting day!!! We miss you already!!!

We had an unforgettable experience with Christos Zervas as our tour guide through Meteora, Delphi, and many other incredible sites. Christos is exceptionally well-educated in Greek history, providing us with fascinating insights at every stop. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also an excellent driver, ensuring our journey was both comfortable and safe. If you're considering a trip with Yomadic Tours, I highly recommend asking for Christos—he truly made our trip special!
