Excellent guidance - nice combination of good energy and expert level of historical knowledge The oracle of Delphi - absolutely stunning, when in Greece do not miss it Time spent on the way extremely long - maybe a smaller&faster mid of transportation could be a good alternative

I made the tour to Delphos , a very cool trip , we got to know the Temple of Apollo and the Oracle of Delphos as well as the museum. I loved everything, especially the Guide Katia Liapi q has a lot of knowledge and tb is very attentive with the tourists.
Wonderful educational experience Tour Guide with Marianna. She was very knowledgeable in the Greek History! In telling the story she kept us interested and engaged. Her passion for her work and sharing made our journey truly memorable!! Thank you Marianna. N/F - Florida. 😊
Splendid day, accompanied by a magnificent guide (Kimon) who, always attentive to the travelers, from the beginning of the march put us in background of what we were going to visit, with explanations that denoted a complete mastery of Greek history and mythology, with references and multiple quotes, and already in the Delphi site, and later in the Museum, made the attention not drop because it dominated everything we were seeing, so it was highly satisfactory the visit made.
The explanation of the tour guide and the excitement and enthusiasm it puts talking. Tell the story along the way. In the restaurant the drinks go part way and are excessively expensive.
The local provider (Key Tours) was punctual with the schedule and the guide (Katia) was all friendly and professional. At all times we knew where to find ourselves when we separated and the information given was correct, taking us by the hand in every corner and having time to wander. He even went further and took us to unplanned sites (Sanctuary of Athena Pronaica). The only "but" is the chosen restaurant. Although we chose the "no food" option, we had coffee and seven euros for two lattes is excessively expensive. The rest of the travelers confirmed what we had read on the networks: mediocre food at inflated prices.
Very good Mariana tour guide. While the tour was in English, I spoke slowly and repeated things, which helped me follow the story. They provide a kind of headset through which you can follow the voice of the guide at a distance, which I thought was an important plus because the place is large, outdoors and there are many tourists. The tour exceeded my expectations as the ruins are incredible, well maintained and the landscape spectacular. The tour of the museum was very good, there are interesting sculptures. The time of the tour was well organized. The only thing that struck me is that the oracle of Delphi we saw in the distance, the sector was closed. I don't know if it's always like that or just that day... a shame. Anyway the visit was amazing.
