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
Response from Host, Apr 2026

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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your kind words. It’s wonderful to hear that Michael’s engaging style and deep knowledge made such an impact. We’re happy that you enjoyed the visit to Delphi, your stop in Arachova, and the overall experience and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon.

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.

I think their communication devices are old and need to be updated. We all decided that the biggest problem was with the tour guides, headset, and microphone. It cut in and out all day. About 75% of the time no one on the tour could hear her. You could hear her best in her regular voice if you stood right next to her. But with a group of 30, not everyone can stand next to her all the time. Nor is it feasible to huddle in big groups in the middle of a museum with lots and lots of people. So often I just wandered the museum on my own reading things because I could not hear my tour guide. The same team happened as we were walking the actual archaeological site. If she cut out and was further ahead of us or turned away from us, we could not hear anything she was saying. So basically we did not get a true guided tour. We did get to experience the ruins and the museum. But it was not guided.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that audio issues affected your experience.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we would like to note that our guides are always equipped with backup headsets, microphones, and additional whisper devices to quickly replace any faulty equipment. However, in busy and high-traffic environments such as museums and archaeological sites, occasional technical interference can still occur despite these precautions.
We’re glad you were still able to enjoy the unique site of Delphi despite these challenges, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

Absolutely amazing tour guide! Vangelis was incredibly knowledgeable and you could really tell how much he loves history. He made everything come alive. He welcomed questions and even took the time to look things up if he wasn’t sure. Very engaging, and always made sure we were comfortable. One of the best guides I’ve ever had!

Tour to the interior of Greece, not easily accessed by most cruise ship itineraries. Mountains were gorgeous, Elena our guide gave us in depth knowledge of Delphi and it's history. Another facet of Greek history not gotten in Athens. Highly recommend this all day tour.

Such an incredible experience! Had the perfect weather, definitely the kind of place that's made even better by the sunshine! Easy to nap on the bus, Elena was the most wonderful guide - she shared so much information, stories, and facts with us! Great little stop along the way, my only complaint about the day was that the museum dragged on quite a bit! The site was wonderful though some of our group struggled mobility wise as it was quite a bit of walking. I think a slightly shorter tour and little longer free time would be appreciated to ensure time to get to the stadium and take pictures along the way! Arachova was incredible, definitely save time for some pictures near the church! The lunch was basic but very tasty, just in love with Arachova! Elena was the absolute star but the entire trip was well worth the drive! Cannot recommend enough!

Very comfortable and easy day trip to Delphi and Arachova from Athens. Our tour guide Vangelis was friendly and he has an exceptional knowledge about Greek history.

Great ride up to Delphi. Very high mountain drive on the bus. Excellent museum tour. After museum tour, be prepared for a moderately difficult walk up the rocky path to the Temple of Apollo (Oracle's Seat) area over what can be slippery slate rock surfaces. Head the warnings to wear solid grip shoes! I'm 67, my husband is 84, we were able to physically handle the walk using caution against the slippery stones. We are in good shape physically so it wasn't hard from a cardiovascular effort. Just be sure you have good balance in general and take your time! especially coming down. All that said, the views of the mountains and valleys are just spectacular and so worth it! Completely recommend this trip.
