“This trip was a once in a lifetime Must See! The weather was extremely hot (95+ degrees Farenheit) and only 2 out of the 4 of us made it to the top of the Delphi ruins. The monasteries were amazing as well. Our tour guide spoke French/English fluently and was very knowledgeable and informative of the history. The hotel (3 star) was exceptional -- accommodations, food, staff, etc. The only suggestion I have would be to tell participants to pack swimming apparel as there was a pool at the hotel and we did not plan for this. Given the extreme temperatures, it would have been nice to take a swim…”

Later two more buses showed up across the very busy road and every one is rushing to get to them. The drivers showed us our names on a very small piece of paper and every one is searching their names at the same time. It was very disorganized. It got better when we get there.
