Irene brought Delphi’s history to life—amazing guide! - Our guided tour to Delphi was unforgettable, thanks to Irene. She was an absolute joy to have leading our group—warm, engaging, and full of energy. Her deep knowledge of Greek history and mythology brought the ancient ruins to life, and she had a wonderful way of keeping everyone involved and connected throughout the day. Irene’s passion for Delphi was contagious, and she made sure we left not only with incredible memories but also with a real understanding of the significance of this sacred site. I would highly recommend Irene to anyone visiting Delphi—she truly elevated the entire experience!

A Wonderful Day - Our guide Giannis did a superb job of sharing with us the history and myths associated with historic Delphi. The trip involves a lot of bus time, but it’s well worth it. Our full-day trip included a guided tour of the wonderful museum at Delphi, a guided tour of the historic site, and a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. It was a wonderful day.

Take the tour. Don't buy the lunch. - I highly recommend the tour but not the lunch. The lunch was okay & took forever and options were limited and because it took so long we were left with no time to explore. Others informed me that are many places to eat they did recommend you that don't look for great food. Get a gyro or souvlaki or bring a packed lunch ( you can leave your belongings on the bus). I wish I had the time to explore the charming village which is very touristy but has good views and beautiful vistas.

Very Enjoyable Trip - My family and I enjoyed the Delphi tour very much. It was nice to see outside of Athens and Delphi. Our tour guide Julia (archeologist) was very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information with us about the archeological sites, the museum and all the history. Our bus was very clean and well air conditioned, and our driver did a great job transporting us to and fro safely. Lunch at the restaurant was very nice. There were options to choose from including vegetarian and gluten free. This is a fun trip for those who love Greek mythology and history.

Just ok for the 11 hours spent - I read reviews about day trips from Athens and this seemed like a must do day trip. But we all agreed that it was just ok and definitely not worth a whole day, almost 11 hours. We did this the day after the Acropolis so it wasn’t very exciting to see. The bus ride there and back was almost 6 hours so again not with the time for what you see. The actual archaeological site was cool up on a mountain hit the main temple was the temple of Apollo and one standing treasury building. We maybe spent an hour there with only about 20 minutes free time which wasn’t much to explore and take pictures since we had to meet the group at 12:30 and walk some form the mountain. You can’t be late. What was annoying was meeting the group at 12:30 and then doing roll call. When everyone was there we walked over to the museum which was maybe less than 10 min and very straightforward. We get to the front of the museum and our guide said it was a bathroom break and everyone meet at 1:15 again before we go into the museum together. That was a waste of 45 minutes when we could have just had free time and meet the group at 1:15 in front of the museum. The museum was cool but we didn’t have any free time and our guide only talked about some highlights. After that it was back to the bus to have lunch in Arachova. It’s a super quaint ski town I was looking forward to seeing but again not much time to look around. We had 1 hour and 20 min so sitting down for lunch took most of that. We did our own lunch since I got free tickets for my 2 kids under 18 for the museum and site. It wasn’t a busy time so restaurants were not bust. I would not have booked this if I knew what we would see. We only had 4 days in Athens and could have seen a lot more than this tour. I should have only booked the temple of Poseidon sunset tour which our guide actually mentioned as a must do but cancelled it since we didn’t want to be on a long bus ride again and decide to explore more in Athens. I would have picked that one if I could do it again. Or just explore more of Athens! The only good part was we got back by 6:30 which was earlier than they said, 7pm and had time to walk up Philopappos hill to see the sunset which was amazing!!! Stunning 360 degree views of Athens, the Acropolis and sunset.
