If you join me on one of my tours, you will come in contact with one of the most ancient civilizations in the world. My degree in history from The University of Athens, my tour experience, and my desire to make each tour customized to my client's interests and needs creates a very important combination that transforms each tour into a unique and unforgettable experience.

Overview of your Athens tour

This two days tour is an amazing opportunity for travellers to observe closely the unique Delphi Oracle and, the unique miracle of nature, Meteora rock complex! Only two hours away from Athens is Delphi, the place where ancient Greeks believed was the navel of the world. We will visit the archaeological sites, the museum and have lunch enjoying the view of Amfissa and Itea. We will drive through traditional villages until we reach Kalabaka. We will visit the monasteries of Meteora which are of significant religious and historical importance, and also discover what man can create having as his only weapon his faith in God. On our way back to Athens we will stop at Thermopyles, the place where Leonidas and his 300 men had a great battle against the Persians. There's a lot to see, I know! But I will make sure also have enough time to get rest, enjoy local food and go shopping!

We really enjoyed our tour of Delphi and Meteora. Nikoloas and his assistant Thanos were very gracious and knowledgeable hosts. I've wanted to visit Delphi all my life and was not disappointed. We were not familiar with Meteora before this trip, but found it breathtaking. Nikoloas topped it off with incredible drone footage of us and the surrounding areas that we still show to anyone who asks us about our vacation. We topped it all off with a visit to Thermopylae where Nikoloas and I explored the excavation of the Phocian wall.

Nico was a very professional and appeared at our hotel on time. He has an authoritative voice which allows passengers in the rear seats to hear him well as he drives. His van has wi-fi which allows him to scroll the internet and present videos as he is driving to help prepare the passengers for the places we visited. This was a unique positive feature of his tour but in the other hand the van was a little small for a 6 adults (despite accomodating 7 passengers) relative to a high-top van. Overall, an excellent tour and Nico was very polite and courteous.

I have been using ToursByLocals for over a decade, and worked with many tour guides, I’m dare to say that Nicholas is one of the best driver guide, if not the best! Friendly, helpful, responsive, professional and fully well-prepared, his tours are entertaining, educating and inspiring. Hiring Nicholas as your guide will be your best decision when visiting Athens!

I whole-heartedly recommend this tour with Niko! Visiting Delphi was a phenomenal experience and Meteora was so surreal and special I will always remember it. Everything went perfectly and that was thanks to Niko. He was utterly professional, an excellent driver, very organised and the best travel companion I could wish for. I ended the tour with fantastic photos and a head full of lovely memories. I would not have changed a thing! And I look forward to catching up with Niko when I am next in Greece!

Nikolaos was an excellent tour guide. Not only did he make every effort to ensure both days of our tour were excellent, but he also provided excellent historical and background information at each stop. Delphi and Meteora are definitely worth the effort to visit, and Nikolaos made the journey enjoyable, and we had an excellent conversation which made the time between sites fly by. I highly recommend this tour with Nikolaos!

Had the most wonderful time in Meteora with Nikos. He had the perfect timing for us to witness the breathtaking sunset at Meteora. We were able to visit 5 of the 6 monasteries. He has lots of information about the places we visited. He is always responsive to all our needs and took care of us the entire trip. He brought us to restaurants with very good food and views at very reasonable prices. His van is very comfortable and well equipped. Highly recommended.
