Good option for day trip to Delphi - We wanted to take our preteen to Delphi, but the price for a child-focused tour was astronomical. So, we took a leap of faith and booked this bus tour to Delphi instead, and I'm so glad we did!
The tour was interesting (although geared toward an adult audience) and there was time to walk around the Delphi site on our own. It's an incredible historic site and the surroundings are breathtaking. We opted to have them buy our site tickets which meant there was one less thing for me to deal with.
Then it was off to Arachova for lunch. We did not opt for the set lunch which was fine - the restaurant was full, so we wandered a few doors down to Taverna O Karmalis and had a meal with an incredible view.
The tour was well-run, the bus was comfortable, and I felt like they made plenty of stops. If you're with teens-adults, it's a great option for a day trip to Delphi.

Vasiliki as a tour guide is the best! - Very well organized. You feel like you're right there at that time. Very pictorially told.
The tour guide Vasiliki (Kiki) tried very hard and it was really worth the long bus trip!

Exceptional excursion and a remarkable guide - We had a wonderful excursion to Delphi, perfectly organized from start to finish.
The bus was very comfortable, the pace well thought out, and the site of Delphi is absolutely magnificent. The stop in Arachova is a real plus and allows you to discover a very charming village.
At the end of Delphi’s visit, our daughter unfortunately suffered a serious head injury while trying to pet a cat (an incident totally independent of the organization). The guide was very responsive: a doctor arrived very quickly to provide first aid, she provided all the translations, and offered us several solutions, including the possibility of going to the hospital, making it clear that we should not feel embarrassed by the group and that she would do what was necessary without any problems.
She then accompanied us to the pharmacy, continuing to translate and manage the situation calmly, while taking care of the group in parallel.
There was no haste, only a lot of listening, patience and kindness, especially towards our daughter.
On several occasions, she came to check on him and make sure that we had not changed our minds about the care.
We would like to thank the guide very warmly for her composure, humanity and exemplary professionalism.
Excursion that we recommend with eyes closed.
Really tops.

Knowledgeable guide. Good... - Knowledgeable guide. Good itinerary timely departure and arrival. The driver could have been more courteous. My wife needed the bus to be kneeled to get in. We had to request repeatedly and eventually he did it once. That was disappointing as lowering the bus is a matter of necessity. This is the only unpleasant experience we had

Don’t buy tickets from Keytours, buy direct and save a lot of money - Tour was overpriced, much cheaper to book the travel only and get tickets direct. Keytours (operator) charge a huge premium for the tickets. You could book the tickets on the coach and join the group tour for significantly less.
I have complained but they have just said no refund.
Cannot fault the guide or driver, but BE WARNED NOT TO PURCHASE TICKETS FROM KEYTOURS. Just book the travel and buy tickets in coach this will save you over €30 Per person.
