We opted for this train version of the tour options as it allowed us to have more leg space and move around during the admittedly long journey from Athens. Given the shoulder season, there was plenty of space both on the train and the train replacement bus. We ended up with a very small group, just one person besides the two of us as a larger family cancelled last minute, allowing us to have an even more personalized experience. Our guide, Panos was brilliant and well prepared, having grown up in Kalabaka, he had personal stories as well as all the general knowledge we could ask for. We had plenty of time for visiting 3 monasteries, see the others from the outside, and stop at some breathtaking viewpoints. Being agile and zipping around the large tour buses in a comfortable micro bus with a great driver was also a big plus. Our train back ended up being about 45 minutes late, but even with that and the overall significant travel time, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

A very enjoyable day. The tour was interesting and informative. Both guides were very friendly and helpful. There were enough rest stops and the coach was comfortable and well equipped. The audio guide was also useful. Unfortunately I had my watch stolen after leaving the coach at Karanaiki? square while returning to my accommodation in Karameikos. This took place within 5 minutes leaving the coach so I may have been targeted. You may wish to reconsider this square as a pick up point? A man came up behind me without my knowledge and undid my rucksack. I heard something drop behind me. I turned around to find him attempting to put my water bottle back in my bag. He said it had fallen out. I stopped him. He asked me if I was English in a friendly way and proceeded to talk about football and English fouls. He then got hold of my arm to show me but I told him to leave it. We parted. 5 minutes later I discovered my watch had gone. This all happened within 60 seconds!

We had a great day. Tour guide Vasily and driver Goran were fabulous. I usually arrange trips myself, taking public transport, but this would have been quite a feat and the coach trip was definitely the best way to reach Delphi. Good value too. We could have done with having a little longer at Delphi itself and a little less time in Arachova, as we found the main site took us longer to navigate than suggested, although others may feel the balance was right for them. We had a lovely lunch in Arachova, in a restaurant called Phterolakka - delicious home cooked style of food in a friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Vasily gave an entertaining and educational commentary throughout and was very happy to answer any questions. Loved it.

It was a great day where we were able to discover the beautiful islands of Agistri and Aegina. The team was fantastic at all levels, the swimming was magnificent. In short, a dream day on a very, very beautiful sailboat.

Although our pickup was late, the rest of the embarkation process was seamless. The boat ride was lovely and Hydra and Aegina excelled stops. Poros port was very limited and the time there short
