What makes Private Tour of Thermopylae with a pickup a unique experience ?

The Battle of Thermopylae was a battle in 480 BCE in central Greece at the mountain pass of Thermopylae. It was fought between Greek and Persian forces during the Greco-Persian Wars.
Why is the Battle of Thermopylae famous?
The Battle of Thermopylae is celebrated as an example of heroic persistence against seemingly impossible odds. The Greek army consisted of about 7,000 men, while the Persian army may have had as many as 300,000. The Greeks were able to maintain their position for two days, until they were betrayed. An even smaller Greek fighting force then held off the Persians for another day as the main Greek army retreated.
