It should be indicated in the description of the excursion: - the duration of the trip (very long) - that half of the archaeological site is closed (Temple of Athena) - that it is possible to have lunch on site for a fee.
Everything was well organised and to time, the guide was knowledgeable and clear in his interpretation of what we saw. As you'd expect, it's quite a long coach journey - the coach was modern, clean and comfortable.
Dephi itself and the guide were very good and informative. However, there were some logistical issues. Tour operator failed to notify us that they'd be picking us up 45 minutes before our official start time. They claimed they notified us on WhatsApp, but there was no message. We scrambled to get ready. Eventually, they came back but it was very stressful. The lunch spot was disappointing. The food quality and especially the service were terrible. There were nice views nearby, but not from the restaurant while dining. There was a bizarre stop at a store 15 minutes later where they said this is your bathroom break, and then 2+ hours back! No bathroom on the bus.
Miscommunication is a big problem we did not get info for the correct pick up time and missed our trip to Delphi. When we called and asked what they could do to help us the reply was “nothing”. Very poor customer service and a really bad attitude on top of it!
My tour group was both for English and Italian speakers. The guide was fluent in both languages, however it made for a longer than necessary tour because the guide did everything twice. Once in English and then Italian. We also did not have the headsets so sometimes it was hard to hear when we were outside at Delphi. I think if there was just one language on a tour more educational information could be provided or cut the tour shorter than currently.
Unfortunately the most popular site, the Athena Pronaia was closed due to landslide! But it was still great trip and the included lunch was amazing 3 course at Hotel Amalia. Fortunately the Sphinx in the museum was available.
The long drive was not what we expected. We travel about 7 hours to and from Delphi. Our guide was knowledgeable but difficult to understand.
Delphi is amazing. Getting to site was challenging. Large bus could not come to our hotel to pick us up and was unable to get through the pictures town 20 min from Delphi. We were held off.by police for 40 min. Lunch was dry and .confusing. Four people were to share a plate of salad.....very strange. Chicken kebob with French fries not the typically Greek meal we had hoped for.
The worst experience ever! No one contacted me, no refund, they just steel my money for the tour and no emergency contact. No notification at the day before. During the day of the tour all the telephones are turned off, so we can not reach anyone …. Even to ask if I can join the next stop (because I didn’t find the spot and the guide). I just received the answer in the lunch time “no refund” - very fair ))) No offering to reschedule, no call, nothing! No client orientation Please select the other company if you don’t want them just to steal your money!! And I’m reading the reviews… I’m not the only one! Companies like this just spoil the reputation of Greek hospitality! Thank you for the spoiled day, enjoy my money that you are not deserving.
Dear Larisa, after reviewing our records, you contacted us at 8:36 am mentioning that noone came to pick you up. As per the tour description the tour pick up starts 60 min earlier from the hotels for which you were informed 14 days before the tour start. Maybe you have missed that email but also on the booking page it is mentioned "Once your purchase is complete, we will send you complete contact information (phone number, email address, etc.) for our local operator to organize pick-up arrangements.", yet you never contacted us asking for your pick up, so we assumed you did actually see the message we have sent to you 14 days before departure. Had you logged into your Viator account at ANYTIME and clicking the message the tour operator, you would have seen the message history. Finally, to address the rescheduling option, since you were marked as a non show, a reschedule option is not available as per the terms and conditions.
The coach left bang on time and the trip was as described. The sites were fascinating and the museum is excellent. Unfortunately it felt like we didn't have enough time at any of the places of interest. It is a very long day, we left at 08.30 and got back at 19.15. There wasn't a toilet on the coach which may be an issue for some.
