The whole trip was great! We were only 6 people in our group so we travelled with a cozy SUV. Everything was on time. Big thanks to our tour guide Apostolis who is very knowledgeable and explained eve (Read More)rything with details. You can see that he does what he's passionate about and that shows! Thank you! ☺️

The visit was perfect. The museum and site were just the right size. Views were amazing. There was however an incident with a fellow traveler who was behaving quite insane. The guide, Theodoros, and t (Read More)he driver made sure everyone kept feeling safe. Theo also knows a lot. Would recommend.

The tour to Delphi was great, our guide Dimitra was very attentive at all times and taught us many things we didn't know. You can tell she knows a lot and likes what she does, and she is also a very g (Read More)ood driver. 10/10 experience, highly recommended.

The overall pace is well controlled. You can stroll around to see Delphi and the museum, then go to Arachova to have lunch and take a walk. It was getting dark when we got back to Athens. The tour gui (Read More)de Theo👍 is very familiar with history. If you ask any questions about the history of Greece in the car, he can answer it very well, and he can go deeper into the history of Greece.

Katerina and Theodore were AMAZING, from the moment we met until we said goodbye at the end of the day. We were very lucky because we were only two couples, us and some French guys, so we were taken t (Read More)o Delphi in a minivan and it was like going on a trip with friends. They are great, knowledgeable and fun and the trip seemed to last very little, even though it took a couple of hours. Very available to tell you everything about the history of Delphi but also to range on other topics, thanks to them the experience was super pleasant. I absolutely recommend it!

It was a nice trip to a beautiful place in Greece. Unfortunately, because rocks had fallen on the road, it was not possible to see everything in Delphi. This could have been communicated better, they (Read More)only said that we could not go to Arachova but they left out that one of the most important temples in Delphi could not be visited either. It would have been nicer if they had just said that in advance. The surroundings are very beautiful, the tour guide was friendly and he explained a lot and the transport was good. It could have lasted a bit longer, I would have liked to walk around Delphi a bit longer. I paid 30 euros for the trip with a discount, I would not pay the full 60 euros. You also have to pay for entrance and food etc. yourself, so you only pay for transport.
