A Trip Back in Time with an Outstanding Guide!
My wife and I had 6 days in Athens. We wanted to use some of that time to get outside of the big city, visit the Greek countryside and learn more about the country's history. After an extensive search on Google we decided to book the full day tour to Delphi and Thermoplae. The day before our trip I received a message from our tour guide and driver for the day, Peter. He introduced himself and confirmed the pickup time from the front door of our Airbnb. Peter was brilliant. He was a joy to spend the day with. As we drive out of Athens and towards Thermoplae he introduced us to the fascinating history around the events during 480 - 500 BC when Persians attacked Greece on two separate occasions. It was fascinating to hear Peter describe the events as if they happened during the past century. He brought the time period and its resulting implications on Greek culture to life for us. Then, we ultimately drove thru Thermoplae and saw where this had occurred. We also visited the museum in Delphi that was filled with beautiful artifacts from the time period. As a result of a fall, my wife was wheelchair bound. Peter handled that very respectfully and treated her with tremendous dignity. He also brought us to a beautiful spot for lunch. At Too Patriko Mas my wife and I enjoyed a first rate traditional Greek meal, drank a lovely bottle of red wine, while viewing the miraculous valley below us. We enjoyed every moment of our time with Peter. It felt like we had made a lifelong friend by the end of the day. It was obvious from start to end that our comfort and enjoyment was his primary concern but I really believed he mutually enjoyed the time with us. Thank you for everything, Peter!
