A 2 day trip to Delphi and Meteora, both Unesco monuments. In Delphi the greek god Apollo had his home and oracle which claimed to be infallible, Which were the means of divination? The local museum houses a unique collection of sculpture and bronzes, including the famous statue of the Charioteer. Meteora is breathtaking. Imcredible scenery, the ideal spot for the life of the monks. The interior of these monasteries is decorated with rich Byzantine fescoes and icons with glorious colours. I am excited when I do this tour because I absolutely love the nature of both sites and the contrast between ancient Greek and Christian art.
Nota was fantastic! We learned so much about the sites we visited, along with general information about Greece. Having someone who studied archaeology gives you the in-depth knowledge you would not get from a group tour. She was also a lot of fun to be with and handled all the details perfectly! Would highly recommend using her.
Nota is very knowledgeable about Delphi and Meteora. She was flexible and adapted the itinerary when we requested a major change.
We highly recommend Nota as a guide when you're in Athens, whether for a few hours or several days, as we did. You will not be disappointed. Nota is fluent in English, passionate and superbly knowledgeable in Greek history and mythology. This is a great tour if you have the time. Delphi is almost mystical and the location in the mountains stunning. Nota made the history of Delphi come alive. It's a 3 hr drive to Kalabaka/Meteora but the scenery is well worth it, as was the visit to a monastry the next day
We had a great trip with Nota and her driver Demetrius. Both were very personable and Nota very knowledgeable all things Greece. Her insights to the historical sites gave us a new perspective and appreciation of Greece. This trip was an add on for us after we completed another tour and Nota exceeded our expectations. The van was very comfortable and Nota's recommendation for a hotel was perfect for us. We highly recommend her trips and will book with her again when we visit beautiful Greece in the future.
Norta is very knowledgeable and obviously enjoys what she does. She gives a clear explanation of what we are seeing, and also ties it into the larger history. She was paid attention to our interests and customized the tour to what we were most interested in seeing. She chose an excellent driver. Norta is a good communicator. I made an assumption that could have created a last-minute problem. She detected my error promptly and explained what I had to do to correct it. No worries - just a good tour!
Without hesitation, pick Nota as your tour guide! My husband, three children, and I just returned from an incredible trip to Turkey and Greece. We booked a 2-day private tour with Nota, and driver, Tassos to take us to Delphi and Meteora. Hands down, she is the most knowledgeable, informative, accomodating, and fun guide of any we have used. She showed us things we would never have seen on our own. She and Tassos were a delight to spend two days with. No one compares to them!
