Wonderful trip to explore Delphi and Meteora in two days. Hotel stay was great which was booked as part of the trip. Our driver Alex spoke English very well and was so delightful explaining everything. We had good guides in both Delphi and Meteora, Theodore and Adonis. Highly recommend this trip ...
