Traveler reviews
A nice day tour from...
A nice day tour from Athens in the mountains. Had a guide for the museum and the Delphi grounds. We were given time to explore the grounds on our own.
A Wonderful Day
We had a beautiful day trip to Delphi with our guide. The trip was well worth the Athens traffic jams both coming back and going to Delphi. Our guide was outstanding and we had a fabulous lunch in the mountains on our stop. This was a full day getaway and was a high poibt of our 10 days in Greece. A big thanks to our guide and driver. Bravo.
Interesting Delphi day trip
This was a great day of sightseeing. The van was spotless and the driver, Nikos, very safe. Julia, our guide in the van, was friendly and very knowledgeable. She provided historical context for seeing the ancient city of Delphi and took us to a great taverna for lunch in Delphi after our tour. Voula was our guide for the Delphi Museum and ancient city ruins. She knew her stuff, which made for an interesting tour.
Long day trip to Delphi but absolutely worth it
Very comprehensive day tour to Delphi with knowledgeable guides and comfortable van. You will see and learn much about the history of this important site. Only thing to keep in mind is that it is a long day (about 11 hours) from pick up to drop off with about 6 hours of driving (3 hrs or so each day). Overall great experience and highly recommended. Lunch break in the town a fun hour to get to know your fellow trip-mates at a lovely taverna in Deplhi.
A great day out to the famous site of Delphi
It was a good day out. The pick-up from a nearby hotel (I was staying in the smaller streets of Plaka) was punctual at 07:35. The minibus was modern, comfortable and had USB charging by the seat. The driving was good. Visiting Delphi was excellent to tick off and the guide that took us around the museum and site was great. Our guide for the day was super and the restaurant we were taken to was nice with great views. The stops along the way including a look at an Orthodox Church were good. The group was relatively small of circa 10 people. They got us back in goot time also at around 17:00 having driven back through some heavy rain showers. Overall I would recommend it. The time on you own after the guided part to see the Delphi site was a but short, I had to rush to get to the top to see the stadium and back down in time so maybe that could be adjusted (maybe a shorter morning stop), but I guess some people wouldn't walk all the way up there, but I was glad I did to see it!
