What's included in the 14-hour tour?

Entry to Delphi's archaeological site and museum, Meteora monastery visits, the Thermopylae historical site, and a private guide providing detailed commentary on history, mythology, and culture. Lunch is not included; your guide can recommend restaurants or adjust timing for a meal break.

Is this suitable for older adults or those with mobility issues?

The tour involves multiple climbs and steep stairs at both Delphi and Meteora. Those with limited mobility should discuss accessibility with the guide beforehand; some areas may be difficult or impossible to navigate comfortably.

Can I customize the itinerary?

Yes. Your private guide can adjust the schedule, duration, and activities based on your interests and physical capabilities. Confirm your preferences directly with the operator before the tour begins.

How much time do we spend at each location?

The guide customizes timing, but a typical breakdown allocates 2–3 hours for Delphi, 2–3 hours for Meteora, and a brief stop at Thermopylae. The remainder is travel time, including a scenic drive through Arachova.

Sturdy walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), water bottle, and layers. Wear comfortable, breathable clothing suitable for climbing. In winter, bring a jacket as higher elevations can be cold and occasionally icy.

What's the best time of year to book this tour?

April–May and September–October offer ideal weather, manageable crowds, and good daylight hours. Summer is hot but sunny; winter is quieter but has shorter days and potential snow. Avoid peak summer (July–August) unless you tolerate heat well.

our guide Hassan was brilliant and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight ... First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Blew our bali one out of the water, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question, tbh
