The tour guide was excellent and so was the bus driver.
Unfortunately, the choice of the restaurant that we were brought to was a disappointment. Walked in to look for a table and the hostess/waitress confronted me very rudely/loudly, she kept demanding how many people would be seated, I said 5 and our guest 5th was heading to our table (she didn’t see him) she just threw four menus down. We walked out and found a lovely restaurant on our own.

Viator/Key Tours Day to Delphi
Our Delphi tour went so well. Our guide, Mariana Tsiggaridou, was delightful. So insightful and complete with both historical knowledge and a heart warming twist with modern and social applications. And the ski village stop was unexpected and beautiful. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Two buses passing in the town will go down as a thrill ride.

Great time in Delphi
Was a well planned out trip, worth the cost of admission. Very easy to have tickets booked in advance and can enter the sites without having to worry about waiting in line to buy tickets. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave A LOT of information, not only about the historic sites but about the cities along the way. Was a very nice time.
