Beautiful views and informative guide that showed us the amazing sites at Delphi. A delicious lunch at a scenic restaurant was an added bonus!

The tour guide Gari and our driver were fantastic, we had a very mixed group on our tour- families, couples and solo travellers. She made it fun for all of us. Gari is an absolute fountain of knowledge of past and present Greece and provided us with an entertaining and interactive commentary throughout our journey. Delphi is amazing and lunch with the group was delicious thanks to our guides giving their explanations and recommendation on choices of the local cuisine.

The tour was very well organized from start to finish. We were greeted by our guides Despina and George and taken on a small bus to Delphi. The ride was very interesting as Despina kept us entertained with her Greek facts and trivia. George was our guide at Delphi. Although he took us through pretty quickly, we did get to enjoy the site and the surroundings. I didn't mind that he sped us through the museum - I'm not a huge museum fan. Delphi was truly a remarkable site! Don't miss it! It is worth the trek! It is a lot less crowded than the Acropolis but a wonder to witness! On the way back they stopped at a lovely restaurant called Taverna Vakhos for lunch - a review on that separately. All in all we would definitely recommend this tour company. Even Tony our driver was sweet. Very professional.

Fantastic day trip to Delphi. Delphi is a must when in Athens, the ruins are very well preserved (much more so than the Acropolis) and the museum is filled with tons of well preserved statues and other pieces. Our driver Theodore was very knowledgeable, and gave us an excellent history lesson over lunch. The van was very comfortable. Our guide in Delphi Irini (?sp) was fantastic!

Delphi is worth the travel and time! Highly recommend as a day trip for family and friends. An incredible sight with remarkable history and a museum filled with fascinating artifacts helping to retell the magnificent ancient city. Our location guide, Theodore, had exceptional range of knowledge. Our guide, Lili, made the ride to Delphi entertaining with an excellent retelling of Greek Myths. Her wide knowledge of Greek mythology was a delightful way to pass the time. Our driver Fotis was humorous, kind and lovely to be around. A must do when visiting Athens!

Amazing visit to the Greek countryside and Delphi. Refreshing break from Athens. Teddy and Theodore were great tour guides. Both very knowledgeable. Wish we had a little longer at the Delphi site but overall great small group tour.

Athena lived up to her name. Such knowledge not only about the tour but helpful and interesting facts about Greek history and modern Athens. The transfer was seamless, the transport excellent and very comfortable. Lunch in a little restaurant with a spectacular view rounded out the experience elegantly. Truly an epic group tour experience.
