Great experience and highly recommend! Also dress with layers as the mountains can be cool, but the hike up Delphi can get hot
We had Alex and he was great!

So much better than riding on a bus. Went early when it wasn’t so hot and crowded. Beat the buses. Loved location for lunch
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your private tour to Delphi.

It was a great trip. Giannis, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so much information during the entire drive. Extremely polite, professional and punctual.

Delphi is not a quick trip, but we are glad we Travelled there. We had a great driver (Patmos) who made our day a great learning experience. Communication was good & pick up as planned. He was very accommodating, and knowledgeable about the area (Athens to Delphi), Greek history & mythology & more. Stopped in a cute village for coffee & bakery, as we chose to have lunch after Delphi. We started at the site, rather than the museum, but didnt know there was an app that could be downloaded in the museum, that would have provided some guidance to what we were seeing. Signage on the site, however, was helpful. Enjoyed the walk through the ruins. Afterwards Patmos drove us to an open air restaurant where we enjoyed a Greek lunch before heading back. Ride back was smooth & weather perfect. Recommend

Gianni, our driver, was an encyclopedia of knowledge about Greece and about our destination, Delphi, in particular. It was a delicious bit of luxury to have our own driver, to arrive at the site early enough to beat the crowds, to move at our own pace and to be driven skillfully back to Athens while we chatted and dozed. The lunch that was selected for us was excellent, with a spectacular view. A perfect day !
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your trip to Delphi was such a perfect day.
It’s fantastic to know that Gianni’s knowledge of Greece and Delphi enriched your experience, while his professional driving made the long journey to and from Athens comfortable and relaxing. Arriving early, exploring at your own pace, and enjoying a carefully selected lunch with a spectacular view are exactly the kind of details that make a private tour special.
We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Gianni — he’ll be thrilled to hear them!

Our transportation for the day, driven by Notis, was very informative about Greece, Athens, and Delphi, as we learned a great deal through our conversation about all three topics.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Wonderful time driving to/from Delphi and exploring the temples, amphitheater, museum, grounds, with a lovely stop in Arachova. Our terrific driver Notis regaled us with tales of Greek myths and history. The grounds were hot and good walking shoes are helpful. The museum was nicely air conditioned.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our driver, Dimitri, was incredible! Very friendly, kind, and accommodating. He drove us through beautiful tiny mountain towns to get to the archeological site. Both the museum and site were worth the trip. Hard to believe that anyone could build such an impressive complex. After Delphi, Dimitri drove us to a small restaurant overlooking the Caspian Sea. Simply breathtaking. After lunch, he even dropped by a local honey store where we tasted the most amazing local honey of all different flavors. If you are looking to escape the crowds of Athens and want to see the local countryside while also taking in an incredible archaeological site, then this tour would be a great option.

Alex provides a very professional, comfortable and informative ride to the amazing Delphi site and museum. Alex was very knowledge about what to expect and do once we got there. Be sure to take Alex's recommendation for lunch spots-- some great food and amazing views of the valley below. What a wonderful way to spend a day... especially without having to worry about driving, parking, etc.!

It was a wonderful experience and the driver was great. I would recommend that one should notice that a tour of the Oracle is not included. We thought for the price that it was included. We just didn't read the small print. For what we paid for 4 people we could have rented a car and booked a tour for a fraction of the cost.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review and for joining our Delphi tour. We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that you enjoyed your day with your driver.
We would like to clarify that a licensed tour guide at the archaeological site is not included in the standard tour, as clearly stated in the tour description. However, a licensed guide can be arranged as an optional extra upon request. Since no such request was made, the tour was operated with one of our knowledgeable local professional drivers, who shared extensive information about Delphi, Greek history, mythology, and local culture throughout the journey.
While renting a car may seem like a less expensive alternative, our private tours offer much more than transportation. They provide the convenience of door-to-door service, a flexible itinerary, local expertise, and the comfort of exploring with an experienced professional who allows you to relax and enjoy the day without the stress of driving, navigation, parking, or planning logistics.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Greece in the future.
We had the best time with our driver and tour guide Mr. George. He is so knowledgeable about Greek history. We had so much fun at the tour and ate at a truly authentic Greek restaurant George took us. My three kids love the trip! Car is very comfortable and spacious for us family of five. Highly recommend!!!

Costa was our driver/guide to Delphi. Loved his passion for Greece, in general, and could hear in his enthusiasm and explanations how proud he was to share its history and culture. He shared the history, mythology, and gave us language lessons. The mountain area outside of Athens was a welcomed surprise. Delphi was extraordinary, and I highly recommend seeing/visiting this ancient area. It’s well worth the drive.

What a wonderful experience! I can't say enough good things about our guide, Panos, who was very informative - pointing out things along our drive and giving us the history and backstory of places. After seeing the museum and archaeological site of Delphi, he took us to a fantastic restaurant in the town of Delphi to have lunch. We dined on an open-air patio that overlooked the valley below - very picturesque, as well as great food and service. The car we rode in had wi-fi, which was really nice since it was a 2 1/2 hour drive each way. We enjoyed Panos so much that we requested him for another tour later in our trip!

If it were possible I would give 10 stars!
Notis is an outstanding tour guide! His knowledge of history was truly impressive, and he shared fascinating facts and stories throughout the tour. His English was excellent, making everything easy to understand and enjoy.
What impressed me most was the personal care and attention Notis gave. I was treated with the utmost respect, and every request was accommodated with kindness and professionalism. He went above and beyond to make the experience memorable.
I highly recommend Notis to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, educated, funny, and dedicated guide. Five stars!

Fantastic tour with an excellent driver (just wish the seats were more comfortable!)
We had a wonderful day tour to Delphi with our driver and guide, Spirros. He was absolutely fantastic—professional, friendly, and did an incredible job safely navigating and transporting us to all the different sites.
The only downside to the trip was the vehicle. It was a Mercedes van with bucket seats, and for a 3-hour journey each way, the seats were very uncomfortable. You could not adjust them nor did they have arm rests. I really wish the company utilized vehicles with more comfortable seating for a trip of that length.
That being said, the tour itself was great, and Spirros truly made the experience wonderful. Highly recommend him as a guide!

Great trip to see an important UNESCO site. Perfect for travelers who have a time limit, need flexibility and prefer a more unique experience. Our drive, Dmitri, was knowledgeable of the area and very accommodating. Remember that the drivers are not tour guides so be prepared to use the provided audio tour at the site.

Mike was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept us very entertained throughout the trip. We had plenty of time to see the ruins and museum without feeling too rushed. The lunch at the restaurant was beautiful with amazing food and the view was spectacular! Mike made sure we had a great table with windows overlooking the valley for after our visit from the museum and ruins. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a more laid back experience without the big bus taking large groups around.

We were very happy with our driver Spiros who was very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable of every detail we were interested in. He offered us complete flexibility on the options of the itinierary and the schedule of the day in Delphi, as we were not interested in stopping for lunch nor in the town nearby. He supported us in making the most out of our time at the archeological site and the museum. He also shared many useful information on Greece in general.
Nice modern minivan and perfectly on time.
We’ll keep a wonderful memory of this perfect day!
