Highlights
  • Delphi - After pickup in Athens, head to Delphi to admire the monuments of ancient Greece from the comfort of a minibus. See the Omphalos, considered by the ancient Greeks to be the center of the world. Explore the ancient theater, the hippodrome, the stadium, and the Tholos.

Connect with the ancient world on this private full-day tour. In a luxury limousine, van, or car your private driver will take you to one of the most important cities of the ancient world. Admire the magnificent monuments of Delphi up close and then return to your initial pickup point in Athens.

  • Delphi Archaeological Museum - Visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum to complete the experience.
  • Tholos of Athena Pronaia - The sanctuary of Athena “Pronaia” (also spelled Pronaea, i.e., the one before the temple), was the first one met by the visitor who came to Delphi on foot from the eastern road, hence its name.

Excavations have proved that at this spot lay an older cult site, possibly dedicated to Gaia (i.e., the Earth). Most of the Mycenaean figurines exhibited in the Delphi Archaeological Museum, including the notable seated figure on a tripod, were discovered here, and it has been suggested that they were ex-votos.

  • Arachova - Alongside Delphi, you’ll enjoy a stop in the picturesque town of Arachova. The town is known for its handmade crafts and traditional Greek architecture. Stop here for lunch, a quick coffee, and a bit of shopping.

Visit to Delphi - Very nice way, with clear explications and good ambient. We stay all they long, with time enough to do the visit, dinner and bus stops for coffee.

An essential trip that is a must if you're on a city break in Athens. - I'm not really one for a tour bus expedition, but without a car exploring Delphi would have been almost impossible. My wife booked the tour yet I find myself writing the review mainly because I enjoyed it so much. Delphi was amazing and you surely can't do a city break in Athens without visiting this famous site. The coach was comfortable and on time, the journey was easy and the timing of each stop was just right. The views are breathtaking and you'll take in more than just Delphi which was an added bonus. Top marks go to our guide Daphne who covered every single base possible. She was attentive, in constant contact and vastly knowledgable about the site and subject. Her stories on the return journey were exactly what was needed to round off a perfect trip and she covered those niggling little details we had been mulling over. Go on the trip, you won't be disappointed, just make sure Daphne is your guide.

A day I’d recommend - The tour was amazing, it really gives you the chance to appreciate Delphi with all the time necessary, with the comfort of having someone there to help you for every need. We also stopped a few times to get pictures of wonderful views, which was appreciated. For the price I paid, I was really surprised by how good the experience was. Daphne, our tour leader, was truly something else: extremely helpful and reliable, kind and knowledgable. I had the pleasure to have lunch with her and another solo traveller and for someone who is going to be on the road alone for a while it was really nice. We chatted and I had the chance to learn more about Greek culture. Thank you for the amazing opportunity. I would totally recommend it!

Nice mix of culture, history and landscape - Well-balanced tour, mixing culture and beautiful landscapes, and with enough time to walk around the places in no rush. Daphne has been a great guide, making the trip in both directions enjoyable.

Great day trip, really recomend - It was a great day trip, we went with Daphne, she was very helpful and nice. We saw great views and ancient places that are a must if you come to Greece. We ate in a great restaurant with amazing views of the mountains and with a sunny day it was the best. We would’ve loved a couple more myths. Everything was great
