The experience is more meaningful if you are familiar with the Oracle at Delfi and its history.
The visitor must use their imagination to fill in the parts of the site that have been destroyed or removed.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your reflections on how the history of the Oracle at Delphi adds depth to the visitor experience and we look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon.

Be prepared for a 2.5 hour drive in each direction. Once there, the area is astounding but the actual temple site is a bit underwhelming. The amphitheater and stadium were definitely the highlights! The museum is nice. We had a beautiful day, high 70’sF with a light breeze. If you’re going to go in the summer, bring a hat and cool clothes. The tour guide and bus driver were 10/10. Very exceptional tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re pleased you had a memorable day and that the guide and driver helped make the overall experience such a positive one. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future.

The tour operators were extremely friendly and accommodating. My mother is prone to getting carsick, and the team immediately let me know they reserved the front seat of the bus for my mother to ensure she wouldn’t get sick during the 3 hr drive. If you have any questions, they respond quickly to your email. My parents loved the tour and the lunch.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind words. We’re pleased to hear the team’s attentiveness made the journey more comfortable and that your parents enjoyed both the tour and the lunch experience. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon.

The guide was an historian and archaeologist and really knew her stuff. She and the driver were very solicitous and kind.
That being said, this was not a good fit for someone who is hearing impaired. The box-box speaker system wasn’t hearing aid compatible and using a cheap earbud was sub-optimal. In addition, the guide had an extremely thick Greek accent that further interfered with understanding what she said. I plan on using Google images to identify what the pictures were that I took since I have no clue what the guide said.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the guide’s knowledge and the care shown by our team. We’re sorry the audio system was not suitable for your hearing needs. We regret that we were not informed in advance, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to try to make arrangements for a more comfortable experience.

Overall my wife and I very much enjoyed the trip. However, we were much concerned that two ladies were left behind for being only 1 minute late to return to the bus at the scheduled return time. Please note ,this was a 3 hour return trip to Athens

Fantastic trip to Delphi. Elizabeth was a wonderful guide with a wealth of information as an archaeologist. We didn’t realize how much training these guides had to undergo and appreciated how much more we got out of the visit thanks to her. It was about 70 degrees F and sunny — a beautiful day. We were glad it wasn’t any hotter. Definitely recommend a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and neck. Also bring sunscreen and water. We chose to climb up to the stadium, and it was well worth it. The water came in very handy after that trek. We also loved the little village where we were taken for lunch. We chose to not purchase the included lunch and found a place on our own. There are plenty of choices, many of which were much quieter which was more to our liking. We also recommend climbing to the top of the clock tower after lunch for spectacular views and photos. So far, this tour was a highlight of our trip.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re happy to hear the experience exceeded your expectations and that Elizabeth’s guidance helped you gain so much from the visit. We appreciate your recommendations and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon.

This tour will bring back some of the mythology you learned as a young adult. The guide will educate you and challenge your Greek mythology. Definitely sign up for the tour that includes the Greek lunch. It was well worth it.

This tour from Athens to Delphi was a solid and worthwhile experience overall. The itinerary was well planned, with good pacing and enough time at each stop to take in the sites without feeling rushed. Delphi itself is as impressive as you’d expect—the history, the setting, and the views all make it a highlight of any trip to Greece.
The stops along the way added to the experience, giving a nice sense of the surrounding area and breaking up the drive. Everything ran smoothly, and transportation was comfortable and organized.
The tour guide was adequate—knowledgeable enough to provide helpful context and explanations, but not especially engaging or memorable. They covered the key information and answered questions when asked, though the delivery felt a bit routine at times.
Overall, if you’re looking for a convenient and well-structured way to visit Delphi from Athens, this tour does the job. While the guide didn’t elevate the experience, the destination itself and the thoughtfully planned stops made it a day well spent.

Excellent day tour to Delphi. Elena was a great guide and very informative. I would not hesitate to book a tour with Tag Athens again. Only downside was I bought my own meal in the restaurant based on recommendations from some reviewers but it took 1.5 hours to arrive at the table. The tour was well organized and definitely worth the money.

Fantastic trip. A must see for History enthusiasts. The tour was well planned and went like clockwork.
Our guide Dorina was extremely friendly and more importantly very knowledgable in Ancient Greek History and the surrounding geography. Without her the tour would have been a failure, true asset to the team. Clear spoken English very engaging. Delphi still has that air of mystery a must ser
Our driver Nikos also deserves a mention, very professional and patient.
All in all 5 star tour

First of all, our tour guide Michael is the best tour guide I've ever had. Full stop. He both knows his stuff and makes delivering the information about Greek history entertaining! Delphi itself is absolutely stunning and so worth the long drive from Athens. Stopping in Arachova to eat was also very lovely and quaint. The whole tour was well organized and went very smoothly.

It was a very well run and organized tour with a lovely driver and a knowledgeable and personable guide. The only reason I docked a star is the bus a/c didn’t work well and so everybody was hot on the ride to/from and the description made it sound like a smaller group of people, when in reality there were 40. Our guide was excellent at crowd management though.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review. We’re very pleased to hear that the organization of the tour, as well as the driver and guide, made a positive impression.
We also appreciate you highlighting the issue with the bus air conditioning. We’re sorry for the discomfort this caused and will be looking into it promptly. Regarding the group size, we understand that expectations can vary. As Delphi is a very popular destination, our tours tend to accommodate larger groups, and the number of participants is clearly stated on the product page.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
