Delphi Full Guided Small Group Tour saindo de Atenas

wear good sneakers, lots of stairs but worth it . effie was a great tour director, mountains going up on bus were beautiful

The van was comfortable and clean. The guide was excellent - articulate, very knowledgeable, and efficient with the time. The group was both small and diverse. My only complaint would be the differing communication messages between Trip Advisor and the driver’s organization about when the pick up would take place. The direct contact with the driver resolved the issue. Delphi is a must see and this was a wonderful way to experience it.

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.
