Great weather, great vehicle friendly person who wasn't a driver, he was more than one, friend, guide and philosopher - Delphi is for the history buffs, the fact that we are witnessing a place which was alive and bustling with activities, 2500 years ago

This trip is a must ! - We had a wonderful trip to Delphi with Melina. She was very knowledgeable, full of interesting stories, and very passionate about the history, mythology, and beyond. As a teacher you could sense her enthusiasm in wanting people learn all about the historical significance of such an incredible place. She was lovely to be with and accommodating in every way. The drive there and back was comfortable and enriching. Thanks.

Great Delphi Day with Crispy Local - What a day visiting Delphi from Athens. Thank you Crispy Local.
Ioannis met us at our hotel at 8AM, in his brand new Mercedes, and we went there and back, returning at 4PM. At the Delphi Museum and ruins, Ioannis had selected a great guide who provided a really informative tour, covering the many centuries of ancient Roman Delphi inhabitants. In fact, she was an archeologist, currently working on the Acropolis, also with a PHD. We learned so much from her, and also during the drive to/from from him. After visiting two ancient ruins we stopped, at Ioannis' suggestion, for a great meal in the town of Delphi, sitting outside and overlooking an unbelievable vista. The Greek food in the restaurant he chose was so good; some of the best we've had on our trip.
We're now even more excited for our trip to Meteora with Ioannis and Crispy Local on Friday! Highly recommended.

Delphi - Our trip with Giorgos to Delphi was wonderful. Giorgos was a very safe driver and also gave us wonderful information about Delphi on our drive there. Our guide in Delphi was Georgia. She was very informative and gave us great tours of the museum and the archaeological site. After visiting the site, Giorgos took us to a restaurant in the village of Delphi, which was owned by friends of his family. The food was delicious, and we had beautiful views of the mountains, valleys and Gulf of Corinth. We would had great experiences on our tours to Delphi and to Meteora with Crispy Local!

Delphi Tour - What a great trip! Our tour guide, George, was so knowledgeable and friendly and provided so much information for us on our way to Delphi to see the Oracle and Temple of Apollo. We even stopped at Arachova which is the skiing resort for Greece. Beautiful area to visit! If visiting Delphi is on your list, I would recommend this tour through Crispy Local and ask for George.

An unforgettable journey into antiquity for our whole family - What an amazing experience! We travelled into antiquity with the amazing historical overview and discussion with Melina, our amazing guide from Athens to Delphi and back. She made the drives a breeze with lively conversation and in-depth knowledge to help us understand the historical context, cultures, and language of ancient Greece.
Then at Delphi, we had another amazing guide, Georgia, take us through the museum and the archeological site. She was also fantastic - as she led us through we learned about what we were seeing and experiencing, bringing life to the marble and brass sculptures and ruins with stories and descriptions.
I would also be remiss to not mention the amazing lunch we had overlooking the entire valley and out to the Corinthian Gulf.
Even our 8 year old daughter loved the experience. Both Melina and Georgia did an amazing job at including her and making her feel she was part of the journey and conversations.

It was a really enjoyable tour. Melina surprised us with lovely gifts from Greece at the end of the tour. Thank you for a lovely day!
