What a wonderful trip. This was worth every penny. Amazing guide, great driver, beautiful scenery and wonderful mythology. This is fun, informative, and imaginative

That was an interesting tour, with super friendly and nice guide Viktor. Our kids (9, 12 years old) and one elderly family member participated in almost everything, except the last 15 mins uphill walk with stairs to the stadium. But that was worth it! Beautiful places, interesting food (if you have a hunter soul) and super friendly guide.

Nice bus ride to Delphi and then a fabulous walking tour through the UNESCO Delphi site with a museum tour after. Then we stopped in Arachova, a lovely village, for lunch on the way back. Great day.

Nice trip well worth the money. Newer bus and the driver was great. Our guide Vicky was very informative and full of enthusiasm. Bring lots of water as it was very warm during our trip.

Take the tour. Don't buy the lunch.
Reshma_R, Aug 2025
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.
Book tickets by yourself...
Alessandro_S, Aug 2025
Book tickets by yourself timeslot 12-13 you will save a lot! Booking in the app is very expensive and they make you pay for kids when in reality it is free
Just ok for the 11 hours spent
Tram_L, Aug 2025
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.

Anonymous, Aug 2025
I was going to a two day tour that included Meteora, but reviews of Delphi was too negligent. So I was very satisfyed with this tour that I chose. The excellent guide even showed me past photographys and gave a detailed explanations of museum and Delphi ruins. In addition, I really want to see Arachova, this tour gave me 90 minutes, and I went up to the old clock tower. And there, I enjoyed very beautiful vews of Arachova.

A wonderful day trip!
Dimitra_E, Aug 2025
The day was well planned with coffee and bio breaks along the way. Bus was air conditioned, comfortable and clean and the driver drove very well. The tour guide Forini was great - knowledgeable and friendly! She took us through the museum and the archeological site and we also had some free time. Throughout the day she took attendance and asked if we had any questions or if wr needed more time at the museum. We purchased the package with lunch in Arohova. Lovely restaurant and the food was great. Highly recommend trying the local cheese that Fotini recommended. Great day and value for money! Everything was perfect.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

Delphi & Arachova tour...
Nancy_Z, Aug 2025
Delphi & Arachova tour with Vicky was excellent—she brought the ancient site to life with fascinating insights about the Oracle of Apollo and how Delphi was once considered the center of the ancient world. Her knowledge and ability to connect stories made the history unforgettable. The only thing I’d change is the included restaurant; it would have been perfect if they served the classic Greek dishes we all come to Greece for, like souvlaki, dolmades, and gyros
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed Vicky’s storytelling and deep knowledge, bringing the magic of Delphi to life. We truly appreciate your feedback about the lunch and understand the wish for more classic Greek dishes, it’s always valuable to hear what would make the experience even better.

Bijita_G, Aug 2025
We received expert knowledge from our guide where she took time to allow us to climb through the site steadily. Lunch was amazing. Very picturesque with plenty of time to take photos. Guide was aware of our needs so I returned to the base of the site while my son's were given time to explore even further. It was a very hot day. There were stops for water / washroom but maybe water be available on the coach too.

This tour guide was very friendly and helpful. When we visit Delphi, the outdoor site was temporarily closed by an accident. This guide adjusted the plan accordingly to go first a town for lunch and then come back to Delphi in the afternoon to visit. He was also very professional!
