Delphi is perhaps the country’s most important tourist destination after the Acropolis of Athens and also was a continual dominating force from the 7th century BC until its operations were suspended and the site was subsequently closed in 394 AD, having in that time succeeded in becoming the epicenter of the ancient Greek world and that of all of the eastern Mediterranean. Within the site, visitors can also admire the ancient theater, where musical competitions, celebrations and ceremonies were staged; the ancient stadium, one of antiquity’s best preserved monuments, where the Pythian Games were held; the ancient gymnasium, used as a training ground for athletes; the Archaeological Museum with its exquisite bronze statue of the “Charioteer”, as well as the contemporary facilities of the European Cultural Center of Delphi and the Angelos and Eva Sikelianos Museum of Delphic Festivals

60th Birthday celebration

Our tour was amazing. Our guys Anesis was terrific. So much knowledge about all of our stops along the way . We truly felt special when we pulled up to all of the stops because of his Mercedes and he was dressed in a suit to make us feel important. He made a few extra stops along the way and made our tour fit to our needs. At the end of the tour we had an awesome meal at there own restaurant ( tour company) with a traditional Greek meal with all the bells and whistles . Overall I would have to say this was the only way to see all the special places that Athens has to offer . The highlight was during the changes the guard at the prime ministers place where he took us across the street right up to the guards and took pictures of us with them and everyone stood on the other side wondering who we were and why we were allowed to do this . Thank you again from all of us .

Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum Guided Tour

Barbara_C, Oct 2026

Fabulous adventure, make sure you’re ready for it

Our guide, Margarita, was a delight. She had a diverse group and made time for all of us. Her history and knowledge added tremendous value. I urge everyone to pay attention to the physical requirements of this tour, you will be unhappy if you don’t. The climb is massive, it’s at the highest point in the city! This created a difficult time when some couldn’t continue. Book a private tour, same company, it will move at your pace. The Acropolis museum was incredible, so much Greek mythology in this tour. Fabulous adventure.

Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking Tour

Cheryl_C, Oct 2026

Informative and enjoyable Acropolis tour

We had a wonderful tour of the Acropolis with Helene. She was very knowledgeable and engaging and really brought the history of the site to life. The tour was carried out at a relaxed pace and we had time for photos. We went for the option that included the Acropolis Museum too and it was well worth it. The Excavation Museum is also included in the price. I was unsure whether the ticket collection point and the meeting point were at separate locations but I had a speedy response to my enquiry to confirm that it’s all in one location. All in all, a very good tour which I highly recommend for a comprehensive overview of the Acropolis.

Great trip

Great day trip. Definitely preorder your brunch, they give the qr code on the bus. The actual lunch provided is around 1300. I did not need dinner after that lunch, but I had packed a power bar. Dinner stop is at 7. Same place as brunch. If you are going to do that then pre order The bus leaves from the train station. I got there 15 min early and the bus was already full, so get there earlier than that.

Athens Full Day Private Tour

Summer_T, Oct 2026

Visited the most important sites of Athens!

Alexander was a very knowledgeable driver and took me to the most important sites all through Athens – I even got to enjoy the changing of the guard! If I had understood this package better, I would've added an extra Guide to tour the major sites with me. Alexander gave me a lot of information before he dropped me off at each location, but I would have loved to have been guided in the actual destinations so for anyone booking this tour I would add that extra expense of a driver AND a guide. But Alexander did not disappoint and was very kind, accommodating, personable, and pleasant to spend the day with!

All Day Cruise -3 Islands to Agistri,Moni, Aegina with lunch and drinks included

JohnA_C, Oct 2026

Amazing and beautiful day...

Amazing and beautiful day to tour the islands west of Athens. Day starts around 9 when boarding the beautiful ship Omega. Clean and modern, plenty of space inside and out. First stop is Agistri, small town with an old church with a white and blue roof to see. Great shop right at dock entrance with a beautiful bracelet of Greek bead design not seen elsewhere. I got myself one. Second stop is a swim and lunch, not able to go island - Moni. Water is great for a refreshing swim. Third and final stop is Aegina, wonderful town, busy, plenty to see and do—churches and shopping. Make sure to get the pistachios which they are known for. Afterwards back to Athens by around 6pm, evening open to enjoy. Crew and Captain kept us safe, fed, and hydrated. Excellent tour if in Athens and want to see the islands. Cheers!
