Best tour of Delphi - Great tour of Delphi! The group tour was organized and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Delphi. We were allowed plenty of time to explore the archaeological site, museum, and village. Lunch was a full course meal in a village. Highly recommended.

The Sacred Way, Center of the Universe then, and now! - Amazing place, energy, views, history, oracles, etc., etc. so worth the drive to Delphi to visit this Temple and Sanctuary. I went there with a purpose as I need to heal my heart, body and soul and Apollo is the G-d of healing, light, prophecy. Well, the energy is so strong that one can feel the presence of Gaia everywhere and the deities. Vicky, our guide was a book of knowledge, she knows her history from A to Z and George was an amazing driver. Loved everything about it.

Beautiful Delphi - Even the rain couldn’t ruin this tour! Our guide was fabulous! She had so much to share!!! I believe the cost was reasonable except it says includes hotel pick up but only includes a few hotels….

Great day visiting a stunning historical site - Thoroughly enjoyable day out to the stunning Delphi historical site featuring the Temple of Apollo. Lots of fascinating facts and information from our knowledgeable guide Effy. Nice coffee break stop on the way up at Livadeia with a lunch stop near the beautiful mountain town of Arachova. Snow on Mt Parnassus a bonus to all the other breathtaking views. Excellent Museum adjacent to the Delphi site should not be missed. Good, safe driver. Overall a highly memorable, wonderful day. Definitely recommended!

A Long Day In Delphi - This trip was so interesting. Our guide was both knowledgeable and helpful. She made sure each of us had a great experience. Delphi was awesome even with the very long bus rides. Lunch was tasty and filling but very rushed. The only negative was the included pick up but from out hotel. The woman was impatient and did not want to answer any questions or explain anything. She was extremely disorganized. We just had to do our best and keep up. I would recommend this one day trip. This site was well worth seeing.

Quick overview of Delphi - Great for a quick overview of the site with a very quick tour of the museum. Wish I had booked the longer trip with the tour of Meteora. Food was mediocre cafeteria food, and surprised that all drinks, even water, was an additional charge.

Effie was a fantastic guide, Delphi was amazing, but the rest of the tour wasn't so great - Effie was an absolutely fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and clear, and brought everything to life for us. We learned a lot (and we already thought we knew a fair bit!). The information about the trip on the Viator site is a little misleading though - we didn't have three hours at the Delphi site, just a little over 90 minutes. The museum was very interesting afterwards, but we would have liked a few minutes to ourselves to pop into the shop and go back to some of the exhibits; instead we were ushered back to the coach for the lunch stop. The included (set) dinner really isn't worth it - it isn't very nice and an a la carte menu was available which we would have preferred. The stop off at Aracova on the way back was also a bit pointless - there is nothing there and it would have been better to just get on the road and get back to Athens before rush hour. Overall, the trip was a great way to visit Delphi, and the guide was excellent, which outweigh our niggles, hence giving the tour four stars.
