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.

Crooked Drivers Don’t Do This Tour! - After one cancellation we were able to rebook this tour for more money but then the day before the Driver—Crispy Local—asked for more money in cash even though drop-off was already arranged. Total crook we wouldn’t get in the car. Now we are trying to get VISA to reverse charge after 3 terrible attempts by Viator Customer service. Do not recommend any private Viator tour in Greece! You’ll be sorry. We saw a similar review and thought it would be okay, but NO!!
