A Great Day in Delphi

George was our driver for our trip to Delphi. More than just a driver, he introduced us to the Greek countryside and the history of the areas we passed through on our way to Delphi. Our private Guide at the site was very knowledgeable and it was a great tour of the archaeological area. Our lunch overlooking the ocean with a great view was very tasty, fresh and local. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in the archaeological site and all the history that goes with it.

Our Greek vacation

We were greeted, at our hotel, by Mr George, who was right on time!!!!! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Athens a s its surrounding areas. We went to Delphi and spent in the museum and walking the grounds. It was fabulous and, when in the mountains, it is a whole other world!!!!! The entrance fee is $21 for both. Very reasonable. Finally we went to a restaurant that Mr George recommended it did not disappoint!!!!! We were seated on a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the sea.. Just as promised!!!!!!! This was a perfect way to begin our Greek vacation!!!!!!!

Good tour, but a very steep climb!

Very nice tour. I would recommend it to anyone. Delphi is 2 12 hours each way from Athens. Be prepared…you have to climb a very steep hill with lots of steps as you visit this site.

Good tour…be ready for a lot of stair climbing!!!

This was a very nice tour. It was a pretty long 2 1/2 hour drive each way, but we were comfortable in our Mercedes car. Our driver Giorgos was very friendly and shared a lot of interesting information about Delphi and about Greece. The tour of Delphi involved a lot of stair climbing…be prepared! We recommend seeing the museum before you climb the hill to see the archeological sights.

Fabulous day exploring Delphi!

Our trip to Delphi was wonderful. Giorgos, our driver, was excellent in every way. He communicated with us before he arrived to pick us up, he was very prompt, he was a safe driver and we learned many things from him along the way. He gave great directions regarding where to buy tickets, seeing the Museum and archeological site, and where to meet him afterward. Lunch was delicious and the views from the restaurant were gorgeous. It was a perfect day.

A royal experience

Although I have been to many ruins, this one was special. I did not realize how important Delphi was globally and what people had to go through to get there. Our driver, Theo, was so knowledgeable and had a wonderful pride for his countries’s history. This brought everything to life. I would recommend that you go to the museum first, it doesn’t take long and it really helps understand what you’re seeing at the site. The restaurant that Theo picked for us had good food, wine, and amazing views. I would recommend the dry rosé, it was very much like an orange wine. Two more recommendations. First, it’s a very long day so I wouldn’t plan anything big for night that you take the tour. Also, some of the terrain is a bit difficult so good walking shoes are very important. Theo treated us like royalty. I highly recommend this tour.

Ruins come to life!

At 72, I have seen a lot of ruins. This was different. Theo’s knowledge and pride in his country’s heritage brought everything to life. On top of that, the restaurant he picked for us had really good food, wine, and views. ( I would recommend the dry rose, it’s almost like an orange wine). Though out the entire trip, he made us feel very special. I can highly recommend this tour with Theo. It is a very full day. Some of the terrain was a little difficult, so wear good walking shoes.

Magical Delphi

Our guide, Melina, was outstanding! She gave us great information on the ride to Delphi so we could enjoy our visit to the ruins and museum upon arrival (not included in the price of this tour). We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the town of Delphi overlooking the Bay of Corinth, a spectacular view and really delicious authentic Greek food. 😍 The scenery along the ride to and from was great .It was a long day which I thoroughly enjoyed! Many thanks to Melina for here knowledgeable guidance and great company.
