I think the most... - I think the most important thing we did was add the local English speaking guide to join us on site. She was very knowledgeable, local and understandable. It really made the day enjoyable and educational.

Wonderful Experience! - Terry was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide! He picked us up at our hotel, whisked us out of the city, regaling us with stories of Greek mythology and ancient history. We stopped at a 1500 year old monastery, ate lunch at a family owned restaurant and then spent the rest of our day touring the ruins of Delphi. My daughter and I enjoyed the drive out into the countryside and appreciated Terry’s candor and command of Greek history. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A Perfect Day - It was a dream tour through the history - from Athens to Arachova near the famous mount Parnassos, then Delfi and its temples and finally Osios Loukas monastery. The top of the day was a lunch in Delfi with a breathtaking view to the mountains and excellent local food. Our driver Yiannis told us a lot of stories about history of Greece and about mythology. What a wonderful day!

Memorable day! - From the moment our driver, Mario, picked us up at our hotel in the morning until he returned us safely in the evening, we were comfortable, informed and entertained. We learned as much from Mario as we did from the sites on the tour ... about Greek culture, history, education, economics, family traditions and more. My only regret is that we didn’t get a photo of Mario, who was expecting the birth of his first child this winter. We wish him well! A wonderful day. Highly recommend.

A day in Delphi - I cant spell or pronounce our Greek drivers’ name, but he said it is “Will or William” in English. He was wonderful!! We couldn’t have asked for a more professional or courteous expert....thankful for the experience we were able to share with our friends! Communication was easy, request were obliged and we never felt rushed. Lunch was incredible. This was more than a five star experience. Thanks for exceeding our expectations!

Excellent Day Trip with great views and information about Greek History and Civilisation - We did this trip on 18 Aug (2 adults and 3 teens). Pickup was punctual. Nice clean air conditioned van. Janos our driver was very knowledgeable and informative. He took us through most of Greek history during the journey - which took just under 2 hours. First stop was the Temple of Athena, then we had a guide to take us round the Delphi Museum then the site itself. The guide was very informative re architecture, Greek and roman periods. After the visit we had lunch in an excellent restaurant overlooking part of the Gulf of Corinth
Some tips
1) Bring your passport (to get in for free in student or < 18)
2) Wear sensible shoes - Delphi stones can be slippy
Overall an excellent trip - a little bit expensive - but more than worth it

Beautiful - we had a wonderful adventure with our guide Vissilis aka "Bill" - the entire day what memories we made and the history we learned. The visit to the Monastary was inspiring. The Delphi - just like the magazine cover of National Geographic; so much to see and that's just it, you get to see and experience it all! The place we stopped for lunch had incredible food and the most breathtaking view. Book "Bill" - the time you spend with him and his expansive knowledge of his Greece is priceless
