Itinerary
Delphi Ancient Town
After pickup in Athens, head to Delphi to admire the monuments of ancient Greece from the comfort of a minibus. See the Omphalos, considered by the ancient Greeks to be the center of the world. Explore the ancient theater, the hippodrome, the stadium, and the Tholos. Connect with the ancient world on this private full-day tour. In a luxury limousine, van, or car your private driver will take you to one of the most important cities of the ancient world. Admire the magnificent monuments of Delphi up close and then return to your initial pickup point in Athens.
Delphi Archaeological Museum
Visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum to complete the experience.
The sanctuary of Athena "Pronaia" (also spelled Pronaea, i.e., the one before the temple), was the first one met by the visitor who came to Delphi on foot from the eastern road, hence its name. Excavations have proved that at this spot lay an older cult site, possibly dedicated to Gaia (i.e., the Earth). Most of the Mycenaean figurines exhibited in the Delphi Archaeological Museum, including the notable seated figure on a tripod, were discovered here, and it has been suggested that they were ex-votos.
Arachova
Alongside Delphi, you’ll enjoy a stop in the picturesque town of Arachova. The town is known for its handmade crafts and traditional Greek architecture. Stop here for lunch, a quick coffee, and a bit of shopping.

Exactly what we expected!
Overall, this was a good experience - not an exceptional one (hence only 4 stars), but no major complaints. This was the small group drive to Delphi. The ride was comfortable, the driver was good and very accommodating. Not a complaint, just an observation: be prepared for a lot of traffic going out and back into Athens. It does make things take longer, but really shouldn’t be a surprise. The one suggestion I’d have for the operator: prior to being picked up, we did not get a single message (in any form) other than the confirmation that our credit card had been charged. This led to some uncertainty in the morning. It would have been good if there had been a WhatsApp message or something similar the day before, or even the morning of, just to say “Your driver (name) will pick you up tomorrow at 9 AM; the license plate is XXXXXX” — that would have been very reassuring that we knew what and who we were looking for! Not a big deal, but it’s the little thing like that that make experience (for me) exceptional.

Very nice experience
This was a very smooth and nice trip. The tour guide and bus driver were very polite and friendly. The tour guide told us many new things about the temple of Delphi as well as about other things on the way such as the city of Thebes and the lake. It was a fun trip. Thanks to them!

Incredible Day Trip to Delphi
We had such a beautiful day trip to Delphi with this tour, and our driver Costas. It was an amazing experience to see this ancient site and the museum associated with Delphi was fabulous. We loved seeing the beautiful countryside, which is just breathtaking. We also had a wonderful lunch in this perfect village on the way back to Athens and we discovered even more of this beautiful countryside. Highly recommend this experience which will be a wonderful memory to reflect on. Costas was kind enough to return my sunglasses the next day, which I had left in the van. Costas was the perfect host very on this wonderful trip to Delphi.

Go with the Blue bus
Absolutely amazing! The reps, and the drivers. We did Delphi, Cape Sounion, Corinth and 4 days hop on hop off. Was excellent value for money and would recommend to all! Elani was fabulous along with Vasillis and George. Can't remember other names but we had a ball on our 11 day trip to Athens.

Tell me you are a Greek without telling me you are a Greek 😎
We did this particular tour last week, Athens - Delphi - Arachova and we had a fantastic time! Although it was several hours we didn't get tired at all. We made several stops for coffee, snack or toilet. Delphi and the museum of incredible beauty, the information of George the guide throughout the entire route were necessary and very useful. He was very pleasant and polite person, very informative with where to go, what we will see how to use the tour app. Mr. George, the driver is also very polite! Maybe the only downside was the time we spent in the village of Delphi, 1.30 without anything worth seeing, while we could visit Arachova at the same time. But this is purely a matter of the company. It is an excursion that we highly recommend! Thank you 🙂
