Day trip to Delphi

This was such an amazing excursion. Delphi was so worth seeing. The food at lunch was to die for. The guides and driver were great.

Enjoyable and enlightening

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Everyone from driver to tour guide (Gota??) to local tour guide at site were wonderful - all relaxed, knowledgeable and pleasant. The van was very comfortable with usb ports for phone. Highly recommend for a thorough visit to remarkable site in one day.

Great site to visit. Disappointing tour.

Expensive for what you get. The tour guide ran us through the museum and archeological site rather quickly. Would have desired more time at both.

Great tour!

So happy we did this tour! It was nice to see the countryside of Greece away from Athens. The mountain scenery was amazing! The ruins and the museum were also wonderful! It was a long day- it takes a full day to do this tour and we were tired at the end, but felt it was well worth it for the adventure of the day! Our driver Soterious was excellent over very challenging terrain and our tour guide Lilly helped orient us with good information in advance of arriving the site and looked after lunch arrangements which were very enjoyable. We had a different guide at the museum and on site for site specific information and he really went in depth and gave the exhibits meaning. It was a great day and we would recommend it!
