Is this a group tour or private?

This is a private tour, meaning your group travels separately with dedicated transportation and a personalised itinerary, allowing flexibility and a more intimate experience.

What's included in the EUR 2529 price?

The price covers 4 days of private minivan transport from Athens. Meals, entrance fees to archaeological sites, and gratuities are typically separate; confirm with the operator.

How much walking is involved?

Expect moderate walking at Delphi (uneven, uphill terrain) and through Arachova's village streets. Pelion exploration varies by chosen villages. Pace is leisurely, with breaks as needed.

Do I need to speak Greek or have a guide?

A private guide or English-speaking driver is standard with this service. Confirm language options when booking.

Can the itinerary be customised?

Yes—private tours allow flexibility. Discuss preferences with the operator before departure; they can adjust stops and pace within the 4-day timeframe.

Is this suitable for elderly travellers or those with mobility issues?

Delphi and village exploration require moderate walking on uneven surfaces. Pelion villages have narrow lanes and steps. Discuss accessibility needs with the supplier in advance.

our guide Pablo was nice enough, but a little local spot off the usual route felt a bit rushed honestly ... Over easter break. Last day of the trip. Bit disappointed ngl, would only really suit you if youre not fussy, ran the full 4 hours promised.
