Very informative tour which spiked my interests to understand more and keeps me looking things up. Very friendly guide who adjusted quickly to my level of knowledge and pace of information digestion (little repetitions and checks along the way to not get lost).

We had a wonderful day and experience. Our guide, Katarina, was excellent. Her tour of the ruin was thorough, and her guidance through the accompanying archeological museum was superb. Afterward, we had a great local-cuisine lunch at a nearby restaurant (Cafe Vaicchos, sp?) with a unique and spectacular view of the valley and Ionian sea. We highly recommend this tour.

This was a great tour. You see the Greek countryside, learn some great history from a very personable and knowledgeable guide and see the ruins of an intriguing venue and culture. Highly recommended for all ages.

This is why you come to Greece !
Anna was a great tour guide, her knowledge of Delphi was incredible I would recommend this trip
Our driver Dennis did an excellent job too.

When you have limited time in Greece, this is the best way to see Delphi, with a delicious lunch at a tavern with a gorgeous view thrown in. Our guide, Ourania, spoke excellent English and she knew her Greek history, which happily she shared with us. On a scale of 1 to 10, we'd rate this tour a 10 and recommend it to anyone. It's a long drive from Athens to Delphi, but the conversation was lively and the scenery worth the drive.

Outstanding tour! Sophia was extremely knowledgeable about not only Delphi, but Greek Mythology, landmarks we passed and many aspects of Greek culture and life. What an expierience to tour the museum and the archaeological site with her. it would have been extremely difficult to do it alone. Lunch in the modern day village was also a great, very good food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Delphi. It's a spectacular place!!

This would be up there as possibly the best tour we had all trip. Anna, our guide, obviously loves Greece, has an encyclopaedic knowledge, and imparts it in a gentle, warm and engaging manner. Couple that with the flexibility of a personal tour - she went out of her way to accommodate my wife who has trouble walking distances - and you have the perfect combination.
It was an awe-inspiring experience visiting Delphi, and I truly cannot recommend it highly enough. You must do this!

Sandra was an awesome guide. We saw all the sights of Delphi and had a wonderful lunch at a charming restaurant overlooking the Delphi Valley. She was so knowledgeable and customized our tour for an older person who hadn't slept for a long time and was a little unsteady. Just a lovely woman who revealed to us her experiences and life in Greece!!

The tour was excellent !! Our private guide, Kostas , was a very knowledgable archeologist. The volume of information he shared made the whole trip so interesting and amazing. We learned so much about the history behind delphi and about greek mythology in general . definitely recommended!

Trip was beyond amazing. Maria our guide had a degree in archeology so she was not only passionate about what she was showing us, she knew every aspect of culture, history, and art. Not only did we learn an incredible amount, she maneuvered us around all the large swarms of crowds so we even got some private time sitting with the ruins at Delphi. Lunch was amazing, even the ride was amazing! Well worth the price to see it privately. I'd go back and do it all again anytime!

Maria was an excellent tour-guide. She was very knowledgeable of the Delphi region and ruins. She made for a much more interesting trip through the museum with archaeologist knowledge that she has. She kept us going with lots of information. Our driver did an excellent job getting us from Athens to Delphi safely and comfortably. A great tour.

My wife and I would totally recommend this trip we were picked from our hotel by a wonderful tour guide Nancy who was ably assisted by the driver Michael. The tour to and through Delphi was great our guide was full of knowledge and we were given a great deal of information and the museum definitely worthwhile to visit. The lunch was full of great Greece flavours and much more the expected the view from the restaurant was spectacular and definitely a must. WE HAD A GREAT DAY AND WOULD RECCOMMEND THIS TO ALL.

We felt like royally - in our own vehicle and a wonderful guide and driver, who attended to our every need and fancy!!!! A stunning lunch with wonderful views. Had a bit of rain the start the day, but the sun came out and did not effect us in any way. Thanks a MILLION for the most stunning wonderful enjoyable sun filled day!
