The Greeks of old believed Delphi to be the heart of the earth, making it the ideal setting for the renowned oracle, Pythia, who was esteemed for her future predictions.

Adjacent is the quaint town of Arachova, positioned on the slopes of Mt Parnassus, providing breathtaking views of the entire region.

Unforgettable experience! - We had a genuinely wonderful time on our trip to Delphi with Ted! He is super knowledgeable and we learned a lot, but he's also friendly and funny and made us feel totally welcomed. We had such a blast on our tour of Delphi that we squeezed in a second tour the next morning before catching our flight. The second tour Ted took us on was around the water front areas. We saw the old airport and planes, stopped at Lake Vouliagmeni, and went all along the water to Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. We loved every minute of it! Now we're just daydreaming about our next trip back :)

Amazing experience - Thanks to Ted, we had an amazing time visiting Delphi. Private tour is definitely the way to go as we were able to take our time to see what we wanted. The views were amazing but be prepared to walk up up the hill and back down again. We had plenty of time to take as many photos and take in the sights. On ride back to Athens, we were able to get an incredible view of the nearby town as well as visit a beautiful monastery. The drive to Delphi was a couple hours from Athens but since Ted was so friendly and knowledgeable, the ride was very comfortable and not the least bit awkward. Ted confirmed our hotel pickup and time a few days prior to our trip and had arrived a few minutes early that morning. So we didn't feel anxious about getting picked up or not. We appreciated Ted so much we asked him to take us to the airport on our last day in Athens!

A wonderful Delphi private tour! - We had a wonderful day on the Delphi tour. Andreas our tour guide was great! Our day started off when he picked us up from the hotel, then we went to the Delphi archeological site and museum, and then the small town of Delphi. Andreas stopped at Arachova and let us out to go eat and explore the town. He was a great tour guide and made 2 in a half hours go by so fast. For this tour it was private and most people would think it's expensive but it is totally worth it and I highly recommend it. We were comfortable in the van, we were able to talk to our tour guide, and he even provided us with water!

Well Worth the Investment - We had a wonderful time with our guide, Ted. He shared a lot about the history and recent culture of Greece on the way up from Athens and back. The van is very comfortable. The stop at the monastery was beautiful. In retrospect, we could have used more time there. Ted found us a great lunch spot just north of the ruins area, with an amazing mountainside view. Delphi itself was fascinating. The accompanying museum is informative. Be prepared for some significant uphill hiking. Also bring plenty of sunscreen and water if the weather is warm and/or sunny because there is very little shade at the site.

Delphi private - Ted was very nice and prompt. The trip to Delphi was comfortable and he even added a stop at a Monastery from the 11th century. The tour at Delphi was self guided and once complete Ted was there to take us back to Athens.
