Premium Delphi dagstur med en ekspertguide, museum og frokost

We travelled in August because we got a ridiculously great deal on air and hotel. I have lived in southern Arizona and south Florida so the heat was easily manageable. That said, if you’re not used to temperatures in the upper 90’s Fahrenheit, visit on the shoulder seasons. Our guide was perfect for us. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and thorough. She ensured that we all got the most out of the day. Recommendations: when comfortable quality shoes are recommended-bring and wear them - this place is not for shoes with open toes, when they suggest that you bring/purchase water - do it, trust me it is not a scam, you WILL need it. The climb up requires a level of fitness and mobility so if you have challenges in this regard, you should probably plan to enjoy the on-site museum only. The transportation to/from was convenient, comfortable and pleasant. We pre-purchased the lunch - it is about average for what is available unless you bring your own with you. We enjoyed it, but it was not memorable even though the restaurant staff were very friendly, gracious and attentive.

I was worried this would be too long a trip. It was fabulous. Explanations and descriptions of Greek mythology and history the entire day in a delightful way. The museum and Delphi visit were great. The topping was the delicious lunch after the visit. Anastasia was a superb guide! .

The tour was amazing!! I loved how knowledgeable our guide was about the history and stories of not only Delphi and Arachova, but also the cities and villages on the way to Delphi from Athens such as the runner from Marathon and the Sphinx of Thebes. She gave us wonderful insight on what the ancient people would do while making their pilgrimage to Delphi and how the site used to function in the ancient days. While we toured the museum, she gave us amazing insight on the relics that were on display and really brought to life on how the ancient people’s lives were around Delphi. We had also timed our departure from Arachova perfectly as we encountered that once in a lifetime summer storm while heading back to Athens. Our guide and driver did everything necessary to reassure all the passengers on board the bus and keep everyone calm and engaged. Her professionalism and the driver’s skills ensured we all returned to Athens safely. Even during the rough storm outside, she continued to tell us the history and myths of the nearby areas and kept all passengers engaged. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Central Greece, the Parnassus Mountains, and extremely friendly and hospitable locals from Arachova.

This tour was very much worth it, our guide Ev. Ioannis (I hope I spelled it right) is a person truly interested in history and very open and kind. He told everything with a lot of interest and that was transmitted to us. The museum is amazing and so are the ruins. Although I do not necessarily recommend getting it with lunch since it is a set menu and there are several places in town to eat, we give this excursion a 10 and we are very grateful to have been able to do it.

The tour was great, started promptly and our guide was very knowledgeable. I think the time we spent was just enough. A great full day trip, but we managed to get back in town/Athens to have enough time to stroll and have a nice dinner. Delphi is beautiful and lots of history to learn. Our stop by the near town was also a treat!

We had such a fun day visiting Delphi! We toured the museum and then walked through the archaeological site. It was incredibly hot in July, but it was definitely worth it. The walk to the stadium was strenuous especially in the heat but I’m glad we saw it. The drive was worth it to see the mountains along the way. We also stopped in Arachova, which is a charming mountain/ski town. We had a delicious lunch and had about 30 minutes to walk around, shop, and take it all in after lunch. Try the local cheese. There are some local shops near the Taverna where you can pick up some unique local souvenirs and treats. Our guide, John the Archeologist , was amazing. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a charismatic personality. You could tell he truly loves what he does, and that made the whole experience even more enjoyable.💙

There are plenty of bathroom stops and brakes along the way. It’s about a 3 Hour Dr. but it’s beautiful and you get a lot of the history. At the end of the tour you get time to explore on your own, which was great! Our guide was the best.

Well-organized tour. Very competent and well-prepared guide.

Our guide, John, was great. In addition to the explanations on-site, he also enlivened the bus ride there with plenty of anecdotes. We had a very good day.

Excellent tour, John the guide was extremely knowledgeable across the whole of Greece’s history and provided deep and broad context. Guided all the way there, pointing out facts about Athens and local areas that knitted everything together. High quality coach and great toilet stops. Brilliant museum tour and the site itself was worth the visit. Meeting up was really easy. My only complaint was that lunch at the restaurant was not great, not really local food, little choice and not very good quality plus no drink included and €6 for a no alcohol beer felt very expensive.
