It was a great tour to the classical hotsots of Greece. Due to Corona on all visited sites were only a few tourists what I never had before. The hotels were at nice places in walking distance to the city center, so that we could enjoy Greece evening life easily. Our driver did a great job and had always interesting stories about ancient history and modern Greece to tell during our journey - thank you for this experience Yanis!

I had a terrific trip touring Mystras, Sparta, Delphi, Meteora, and Thermopylae with my guide Nikos! Nikos put together a custom itinerary with places in Greece that I had not yet visited. The highlight of my trip was visiting the clifftop monasteries at Meteora. We had marvelous weather for picture taking, and Nikos, knew where the best spots were. Hiking up several of the monasteries was also a unique experiences, and Nikos knew the best ones suitable for me. An AWESOME trip!!

With this tour you will have the opportunity to spend a day at the one of the most important ancient sites of Greece.Delphi was considered by the ancient Greeks to be the center of the earth so they found this location perfect to host the famous oracle where Pythia gave her predictions about the future and were respected by everyone.Nowadays,Delphi is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a phenomenal influence in the ancient world.Right next is the small traditional town of Arachova offering some great views of the whole area as it is built on the side of the Mt Parnassus and it is the ideal place to have a quick lunch before we take the way back to Athens.But we are not quite done yet,as down the road lays the most important byzantine monastery of Greece,Osios Loukas where we can admire the special byzantine architecture.

Greece is back in force with Ammon Express. Reasonable prices ,excellent service and informative high quality guides. The trip to Meteora is long and requires outstanding driving skills. Dimitri displayed them together with vast knowledge,insight and healthy humor. The duration of the trip becomes really irrelevant in such pleasant company. Meteora is an international gem that is worth every effort. The trip was well planned in advance so that we could leisurely visit 3 monasteries, enjoy lunch and rest in between. Highly recommended. Corona wise, we felt safe all the way and the rules were enforced rigorously.
