- Delphi - Begin your day intelligently and enjoy a more relaxed, well-paced experience in a small group from our eco-friendly meeting point at Halandri Metro Station. Depart Athens with a friendly trip attendant (archaeologist) by bus from the Halandri Metro station and arrive at Delphi, nestled between two terraced rocks, the Fedriades. Delphi is regarded as the “navel of the earth” and the center of wisdom in ancient Greek civilization. It was the most sacred site of ancient Greece, hosting the Oracle of Delphi with the priory of the Olympian god Apollo, Pythia, who conveyed the god’s predictions to humans. Explore the Oracle of Delphi and drink from the sacred Castalia spring. If you’re fortunate, perhaps Pythia’s ancient spirit will reveal your future! Stroll around the archaeological site with its unique findings such as the Treasure of the Athenians, the Dome of Athens Foresight, the Temple of Apollo, the ruins of the Ancient Stadium, and the Theater of Delphi.
- Delphi Archaeological Museum - Next, visit the modern archaeological museum of Delphi. The museum houses archaeological findings from the Archaic to the Roman era, featuring impressive artifacts such as the Iniohos, the Sphinx of the Naxians, and the statue of Antinoos. Delphi is not only about history; it is also renowned for its gastronomy. Enjoy a culinary break with delicious homemade Greek delicacies.
- Arachova - We depart for Athens around 15:00, making a stop in the charming village of Arachova to capture the captivating landscape. Arachova is situated right at the foothills of Mount Parnassus and is a very popular winter resort for the residents of central Greece.
We return at approximately 17:30 to the Smart-Eco-Pickup of AMMON EXPRESS, the Halandri Metro Station.
Join us and feel like you’re with a friend eager to show you around like a Greek!

Great trip to Private Delfi! - Our guide/driver welcomed us in a small group. We were comfortably transported to Delfi. She presented some of the history of the area during our transportation. We were free to explore the site on our own at our pace. The museum presented some interesting artifacts. The venture to Arachovia was close. Interesting area, good food. Thank-you for the opportunity!

Think again - Just finished the day tour and tour operator is Ammon Express. The best part of the tour is tour guide, Julie and bus driver, Julie is very nice and polite, always smiling, bus driver is nice and safe. There are few problems with this tour agent, first, most important, we only have 2 hours and 10 minutes to spend in Delphi, basically one hour in archaeological site and one hour in the museum , very disappointing, felt rushed, you won’t see everything if you have children. Second, once you are in Delphi site and museum , you are on your own, tour guide will not go in the site and museum with the group, unlike other tour operators, tour guide will explain and tell stories inside the site and museum. Third, there is no wifi on the bus, unlike advertised. Lastly, after Delphi, we spent 2 hours in a small town for lunch, I’d rather spend more time in Delphi.

Not exactly as described - We had a pleasure to visit archeologycal site and museum of Delphi as well as Arachova village. The time dedicated to Delphi and museum was not the same as mentioned in tour descripton. But it was enough. Also we didn't visit Delphi village. Which was mentioned in the tour itinerary. And we didn't visit Castalian spring. We thought we didn't find it. But as we realised later it is situated away of archeological site. Also have in mind that the road to Tolos of Athena Pronaia is closed. So you will not visit is as well.
The time in Arachova village was a bit too much. As there's no much to see there. Also we expected big tourist bus. But they use a small Mercdes van. The driver and the guide is the same person. Her driving style was a bit crazy. Constant acceleration and braking. But everything was on time. And we came back safe.
