Delphi Private Day Tour from Athens

Excellent trip. Christos from LSTour was great explaining during the drive and very patient. The Delfi place is amazing and worth visiting. Lots of walking, be prepared.

George was an excellent guide/driver. He was prompt, knew the history of each area, and the ruins we saw at Delphi. He found us an amazing lunch location with the best table overlooking a beautiful valley. Would definitely recommend him!

Chris was flexible & accommodating…always aiming to please. Beautiful car and excellent travel ambiance.

We had a flawless experience. Christos was our driver. He was friendly and we had a great experience with him. Safe driving, good conversation and a relaxed environment that let us see Delphi at our pace. If you’re looking to see Delphi and avoid the bus/ large group tour, this is a great option.

First, if you have any interest in Greek History or Mythology, Delphi is not to be missed. We were very lucky to have Christos as our driver. He was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and provided the best service we’ve ever had on a private tour.

George was a wonderful driver and guide. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. While driving is to Delphi from Athens, he shared lots of local and historical facts with us. I would highly recommend him!

Our driver George was superb. He turned up at our hotel on time with water for us and so much information. He discussed what we wanted to achieve and how to tailor the trip given my elderly mothers situation. He was happy to make recommendations and accommodations to help us make the most of the day. We had plenty of time at all the locations. We stopped in Delphi for lunch at a local taverna which was just superb, amazing food. Would highly recommend.

Loved loved loved it. Picked up (on time!) at 7am outside my hotel in a lovely air conditioned, cream leather, spotlessly clean car by George, (see photo - previously reviews don’t show a guide/car and I thought that was important) every time I stepped out of the car he would run round to hold the door open. I felt like the Queen of England. Really lovely smooth drive with commentary on the way, clear instructions and tips at Delphi (go to the site first as it’s early and cooler and the museum afterwards as that’s air conditioned) this was a great tip as it was hitting 40c at 9.30am. I messaged George once I was out of the museum and seconds later he was at the bottom of the steps to whisk me away with bottles of ice cold water from his cooler handed out. Lunch Omg I don’t think I’ve ever had a more amazing lunch and I’ve eaten at Michelin starred restaurants around the world - in fact l cancelled my Michelin starred Athens restaurants as nothing would meet the standard of that restaurant The view over the valley of olive trees out to sea, the BEST table, the starter of hot bread and salty black olive paste, home made lemonade, potatoes, aubergine and feta cheese with the most amazing grilled toast followed by fresh fruit on the house. Back to Athens and a wonderful day. Thank you George for one of the best trips of my life. Don’t hesitate!!

Visiting Athens for 3 nights and wanted to see Delphi during our stay which meant we were really squeezed for time. Opted for the luxury option of hiring a private car so that we could make the list of the experience. We are very glad we did. This trip allowed us to get to Delphi early, avoid the hottest part of the day but more importantly avoid the hoards arriving in coaches. Delphi was beautifully quiet and relaxing during our visit. As we were leaving, the crowds were arriving. The trip itself was lovely. Nikos, our driver was very charming and knowledgeable and gave us a running commentary on history of Delphi, Ancient Greece and of the areas we passed en route as well as a wider commentary on interesting Greek facts. We stopped twice before Delphi. Once for a bathroom / coffee break and once to take in a beautiful scenic view of the valley.  After Delphi Nikos picked us up Right outside the museum and brought us to a restaurant with quite a stunning view of the Delphi olive groves running to the sea. The food was local and the staff friendly. The car was on time, clean and air conditioned. Water was provided and we were able to eat our packed lunches (I was worried this would be verboten). Nikos even told us to leave our rubbish at the end and he dealt with it. Nikos had us back in Athens in time for a rest before our evening stroll and dinner. This isn’t the cheapest option but was the right one for us, as time was our most precious commodity. You get what you pay for and we got as good a Delphi day trip as was possible.

This was an excellent one day excursion to see the ancient site of Delphi and enjoy lunch in the hillside town. Christos was an excellent driver and guide. He was very relaxed and accommodating.
