Tomas_G, Apr 2026

+guide, -bus, delphi fascinating (for us)

the trip to delphi from athens is about 7hrs in bus. the experience itself takes only a half of that time. the question if it is worth, must answer each to himself. we liked the atmosphere at delphi site and the guide was professional. what i would appreciate is a bigger bus with more space (we travelled in a minibus for 15persons appr.).

After experiencing 4 weeks of European tours, John the Archaeologist is officially our FAVOURITE!

We had the absolute BEST experience with our tour guide John the Archaeologist! Honestly, this wasn’t just a tour. It felt like stepping back in time with someone who truly lives and breathes history. John’s knowledge was incredible, but what really made the day special was how he brought everything to life. Every ruin, every site, every story suddenly had meaning. He explained things in such an engaging, entertaining, and easy-to-understand way that we were completely hooked from start to finish. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about what he does, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. Great witty humour too! If you’re visiting Athens, do yourself a favour and book a tour with John the Archaeologist. It will completely transform how you see the sights. 10/10, unforgettable, and worth every second!

Victor_M, Mar 2026

We had an incredible...

We had an incredible experience on our Athens walking tour with an archaeologist—our guide, Peter, was truly outstanding. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Having someone with such deep knowledge and passion for history made everything come to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. Peter explained the historical context, myths, and significance of each site with clarity and enthusiasm, making it engaging for both adults and kids in our group. We especially appreciated how he connected ancient history to what we were seeing in front of us, helping us better understand the importance of each landmark. The pace of the tour was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take in the surroundings without feeling rushed. Peter was also very friendly, patient, and attentive to our group’s needs. If you’re visiting Athens, we highly recommend booking a walking tour with an archaeologist—having a guide like Peter adds so much depth and meaning to the experience and makes the history unforgettable!

Love this tour

The tour guide was amazing. She was given facts answering questions from the start and very excited about giving information about the tour. My phone died and she offered to take some pictures and send them to me. Forgot to bring an umbrella or a poncho. She shared her umbrella with me and when in very in depth of every point this to our group. everyone got this little box that was connected to her microphone, so everybody could hear without being right upon our.

Historical Delphi One Day Tour with Arachova Stop & Expert Guide

Leah_R, Jan 2026

Amazing scenery and very informative

The excursion to Delphi was fantastic. Maryanna our tour guide was wonderful, she made us feel very welcome and at home. My boys 8 and 11 enjoyed the experience seeing in person our rich history. We had wonderful weather being January, being over 6 months pregnant i was worried about walking up the steps at the site but I had no issues at all. id recommend good runners/sneakers as it was slipery coming down the steps. We took so many beautiful pictures and had time to purchase momentos from all the stops along the way. The bus ride was really long (a bit too long for my boys) my 8 year old got a bit of motion sickness coming home, Maryanna gave out lots of intresting information that made the bus trip go faster. We chose not to have the included set lunch due to allergies but joined in the restaurant and purchased safe foods that brought me right back to my childhood. Food was traditional authentic and delicious 100% recommend. The little town we visited on the way was beautiful and the views we saw were just stunning. When we return to Greece in the future we will be joining in on other tours offered by key tours.

Fantastic bike tour in Athens!

We had an absolutely fantastic bike tour in Athens with Sterios — truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, Sterios was friendly, respectful, and genuinely funny, and we clicked with him instantly. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about Athens and its sights, but what really stood out was how naturally he shared it — engaging, relaxed, and never overwhelming. As our first tour guide in Athens, he honestly set the bar very high. It had rained the night before, and Sterios thoughtfully adjusted the route to avoid muddy or slippery paths, which we really appreciated. That kind of situational awareness and care made us feel completely comfortable and well looked after throughout the tour. He also took the time to recommend excellent bars and restaurants around the city. We didn’t manage to try all of them during our stay, but the ones we did visit were spot on — fantastic recommendations that we’re still talking about. This was our first “touristy” bike ride, and we loved it far more than we expected. The time flew by without us even noticing, and we still think back on how much fun we had. Sterios truly elevated the entire experience and made it memorable in the best possible way. Highly, highly recommended.

Joseph was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable of all the food and information about the city. He was very helpful in identifying which options were gluten free, and even brought gluten free cookies from the bakery to start the tour. There was so many different foods to try and we loved them all! We fully enjoyed our experience on the tour!
