Just wow - It was an absolutely well done tour. We booked a private tour and Mr Peter was our chauffeur and guide in the tour. He is an amazing person who gave us lots of insights before we reached Delphi. A very charming person who made sure we had a lovely trip all the way. His knowledge is amazing not only on history but also about the neighbourhood. The lunch he took us to in Delphi is an absolute joy. I highly recommend this agency .

Great tour I highly recommend it - Great experience of Delphi and Arachova. I highly recommend this tour. Our Driver Yannis was amazing. We traveled with family with young children. Yannis took great care of us. He is a great story teller and my children loved his narration of Greek mythology and history. Hee was very kind and brought Greek cookies for us. He had umbrellas , water and booster seats as well. I highly recommend and ask for Yannis as your Driver.

Athens to Delphi Arachova Highly Recommend - We did a full-day tour from Athens to Delphi with Ancient Greece Tours & Transfers and had such a great experience. Our driver-guide (Tas) was super friendly, charismatic, and really knowledgeable—he made the drive interesting and even suggested an amazing spot for lunch that turned out to be one of our favorites from the whole trip. Along the way, we stopped at some beautiful panoramic viewpoints and visited the village of Arachova before exploring Delphi. We also arranged a licensed guide at Delphi (Georgia) through them (for an extra cost), and she was excellent—so passionate and full of knowledge. I came away from the day feeling like I truly understood the significance of this incredible site. It was one of the highlights of our time in Greece, and I’ll remember it for years to come. Highly recommend!

Ask for Peter! - A wonderful day trip with Peter to Delphi. He was informative and gave his own story of migrating to Greece as well as the history and stories of where we were going. He made a mother/daughter traveling on own feel comfortable. He even answered my questions while at restaurant via text. I wasn’t sure if not eating everything served was disrespectful. He assured it was not. He even made extra stops to take beautiful photos. The scenery in Greece is unreal, no matter where you are. He sent us photos that he took as well to round out our album. Ask for Peter!!

Great trip. Great advice. - Tas advised us to go later in the day, and he was so right. Our driver, Peter, was a great host. He answered all our questions, was very knowledgeable and was clear all day that we could go at our own pace. Lunch in Arachova was great. Great food and great view. And then of course— Delphi was amazing. And because of our later arrival, we were after the crowds. We had the museum practically to ourselves. And outside at the site the crowds were gone and the golden light and a beautiful breeze Was enchanting. The site is an amazing piece of history (that Peter filled us in on before we went). It was the center of the ancient world and now I know why.

Best tour guide - We are a family of 5 (2 teens and a 7 yo) and reserved 2 trips with Tas from Ancient Greece Tours. The first day was to Delphi and Arachova and the 2nd day was to Ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth, Isthmus Canal, and the Temple of Hera. Tas was phenomenal! He was always prompt and picked us up both days with Greek cookies and biscuits. His Mercedes van was always very clean and well stocked with cold water for us. Tas has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Greece. My husband and I were asking him a lot of questions and our conversations expanded into present-day Greece, politics, culture, his background, and so forth. We had some great conversations! He is also very kind and patient never rushing us. He was always telling us to take our time and at several of the stops, we spent more time than expected. On our 2nd day of touring, what was to be a 9-hour tour ended up being 11 hours. Tas also made reservations at 2 fantastic restaurants in both Delphi and Ancient Corinth. Our lunch at Delphi was at To Patriko Mas which had a gorgeous veranda overlooking olive fields and the Gulf of Corinth/Athens Riviera. Lunch at our 2nd trip was at Taverna Gemelos which was next to Ancient Corinth so while we were dining on their rooftop veranda, we had the best view and felt like we were dining within Ancient Corinth. We highly recommend booking with Ancient Greek Tours - truly the best tour guide we've ever had. Tas has become a friend and we are already looking forward to planning a weeklong Peloponnese tour with him.

Great overall! - We had such a great time with Tas! He was kind and and fun to chat with. He gave us some information about the sights we visited but we would have loved to know more. It was also difficult for everyone in the car to hear him. Arachova was a huge highlight but we had to ask to stop and explore on the way home even though it was listed on the itinerary. I would NOT book this tour with a group of 8 because the front seat is VERY uncomfortable for that length of a drive. Our dinner was so delicious but one member of our group saw Tas was downing beers in the other room while we were eating. He did seem to be swerving a bit on the drive home which made all of us a bit nervous. We were also given 4 different pick up times and ended up waiting outside in the rain for 15 minutes to be picked up. Overall it was a fun day but there are definitely some improvements that could be made.
