Description

With this tour you will have the opportunity to spend a day at the one of the most important ancient sites of Greece.Delphi was considered by the ancient Greeks to be the center of the earth so they found this location perfect to host the famous oracle where Pythia gave her predictions about the future and were respected by everyone.Nowadays,Delphi is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a phenomenal influence in the ancient world.Right next is the small traditional town of Arachova offering some great views of the whole area as it is built on the side of the Mt Parnassus and it is the ideal place to have a quick lunch before we take the way back to Athens.But we are not quite done yet,as down the road lays the most important byzantine monastery of Greece,Osios Loukas where we can admire the special byzantine architecture.

Amazing Day Trip to Delphi

Ted is a fantastic tour guide! He arrived on time to pick us up from our Airbnb with complimentary snacks and postcards with photos he's personally taken around Greece. (He's a fantastic photographer, too - be sure to ask him to take photos of your visit!) Our itinerary: the Hosios Loukas monastery; Delphi; lunch in Arachova. The drives were very pleasant: the van was comfortable and Ted could converse about not only ancient Greek history but also about modern-day Greece/current events (which was welcome since tourists tend to only get "history lessons"). Ted was kind and professional; we highly recommend Athens Experiences!

Thank you so much! Always a pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Unforgettable experience!

We had a genuinely wonderful time on our trip to Delphi with Ted! He is super knowledgeable and we learned a lot, but he's also friendly and funny and made us feel totally welcomed. We had such a blast on our tour of Delphi that we squeezed in a second tour the next morning before catching our flight. The second tour Ted took us on was around the water front areas. We saw the old airport and planes, stopped at Lake Vouliagmeni, and went all along the water to Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. We loved every minute of it! Now we're just daydreaming about our next trip back :)

Amazing experience

Thanks to Ted, we had an amazing time visiting Delphi. Private tour is definitely the way to go as we were able to take our time to see what we wanted. The views were amazing but be prepared to walk up up the hill and back down again. We had plenty of time to take as many photos and take in the sights. On ride back to Athens, we were able to get an incredible view of the nearby town as well as visit a beautiful monastery. The drive to Delphi was a couple hours from Athens but since Ted was so friendly and knowledgeable, the ride was very comfortable and not the least bit awkward. Ted confirmed our hotel pickup and time a few days prior to our trip and had arrived a few minutes early that morning. So we didn't feel anxious about getting picked up or not. We appreciated Ted so much we asked him to take us to the airport on our last day in Athens!

A wonderful Delphi private tour!

We had a wonderful day on the Delphi tour. Andreas our tour guide was great! Our day started off when he picked us up from the hotel, then we went to the Delphi archeological site and museum, and then the small town of Delphi. Andreas stopped at Arachova and let us out to go eat and explore the town. He was a great tour guide and made 2 in a half hours go by so fast. For this tour it was private and most people would think it's expensive but it is totally worth it and I highly recommend it. We were comfortable in the van, we were able to talk to our tour guide, and he even provided us with water!
