Delphi tour

Vinayak_P, May 2024

Excellent location and great guide. The quaint towns on the way were also pretty. We had lunch in the town.

A good guide makes a difference

Shirley_H, Nov 2023

The guide gave a brief 2 minute speech at beginning and was silent for the two hour ride to site! (Would’ve been a great time to tell about the people and land of Greece.)He was knowledgeable, about the site but lifelessly boring, impersonal and aloof! He was often on his phone when walking from place to place and unavailable at stops or free time!

Great Delphi tour

Edward_K, Oct 2023

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of Greek history and Delphi. He added some humor too which made the trip enjoyable. He was very caring about the needs of the guests. My recommendation is to start the trip at 8 am rather than 8:30. The total trip time was 10.5 hours, 6 hours were on the bus.

Delphi tour

Keith_B, Sep 2023

The guide was extremely knowledgable on Greek history. She was very well organised with a large group of tourists. I would recommend the tour.

Pythian Wonder

Nicholas_H, Jul 2023

The trip itself was magnificent and I could not imagine the tour with our guide (I forgot her name! I’m so sorry!), she knew everything about the history of Greece, which for me was the best part. On the bus ride there she told us amazing historical facts that I was not even aware of (and I’ve read a bunch of books, including all of Herodotus’ histories) regarding the Battle of Marathon, the Pelopponesian Wars, the Battle of Thermopylae as well as the mythology and etymology of a lot of the words . . . Her knowledge was impeccable!! Not only that, but my dumbass left my sketchbook at the rest stop (my responsibility) and she was amazingly kind enough to stop on the way back, she did not have to do that, and I am eternally grateful. Like I said I could not imagine our trip without her . . . So amazing . . .

Disappointing

Cian_M, Jun 2023

I was disappointed with this tour. I booked a guided tour in English, but the guide was speaking in both English and French. I found this frustrating as 50% of what was being said was meaningless to me and it slowed down the tour. I did not stick with the guide for the museum. I choose the option without lunch, the town was nice to explore and had plenty of lunch options.

An unforgettable visit into the past

CYNDA_M, Jun 2023

Hearing such a thorough history and applying learned info to the actual ruins - followed up by the guided museum tour made it a valuable, memorable, worthwhile tour.

Great Tour

Glenn_B, Jun 2023

The scenery was stunning, and the guide was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the region

Day trip to Delphi

Steven_S, Jun 2023

It was an enjoyable and informative day! Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I wish that there was better organization in the morning. We left Athens about a half hour late, cutting back on our time in Delphi.

Rikki is the best guide for Delphi

Elizabeth_M, May 2023

We loved our tour of Delphi and our guide, Rikki. We wished for a little more time in the museum, but we learned so much history from this experienced, educated guide.

Enjoyed Delphi.

Laura_J, May 2023

The guide was outstanding. Very beautiful scenery. Trip was a little bit long. Traffic in Athens was bad.

Best guide we’ve had.

Colin_L, May 2023

Our guide - “Vikki “ was the best we’ve had - knowledgeable and humorous. Excellent English. Five stars.

Delphi day tour

Diana_V, May 2023

The guide was wonderful in giving information about the route we took, the Delphi ruins, and the museum. The ruins a b d the history thete is amazing

Tour would have needed...

Johan_L, Apr 2023

Tour would have needed another hour. Didn't really feel like you got the full experience. For me a trip solo without a guide would have been better. The guide was good and all but just not long enough.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Johan, Thank you for your review . We reed that the guide was good but didn't met your expectations. Unfortunatelly there are time limits for a full day tour and we have to follow the law for the driving hours. Regards Hara Kritikidou Customer Service Manager

Really in 2023?

Sam_G, Mar 2023

The foul continuous gutteral coughing of passengers without masks as well as selfish people putting their seat in a lay position. Avery guide guide and driver , multi stops and admin delays and no reminders to passengers to consider others. Overall interesting place but ever again with a forgetful/ backward organisation that hasn’t heard of Covid.

Wonderful Delphi

Awadesh_V, Jan 2023

Effi, the tour guide, made the tour very interesting. Her knowledge about the site and ancient greek civilisation helped us in making sense of the Delphi site and the museum.

The guide was great!...

Marko_K, Nov 2022

The guide was great! Everything was on time. The tour was very informative. No surprises, all good :)

A wonderful experience

William_B, Oct 2022

The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She made the ruins come to life. The tours was well managed.

Delphi for the day

Joyce_S, Oct 2022

A beautiful Greek day A great coach driver and quide which made the journey pleasant. Delphi is a must for Greek history lovers. Wear comfortable shoes and have a drink handy if it is hot. Very steep walk to the stadium at the top of the site but it is well worth it especially for the views. Watch out for wild flowers and butterflies too and be careful taking pics as the site is rough and steep.

A way to see Delphi from Athens, but with reservations

Corbin_B, Oct 2022

The good: Delphi is a very beautiful and histloric location and well worth seeing. The ruins sites are amazing and the museum is excellent. The guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. The challenge: It is nearly impossible to heard 50 people efficiently through these areas. The bus did not have a restroom, necessitating multiple restroom stops in what was already a long road trip.) The bad: The trip is a very long day: It was 11.5 hours from the requested meeting time (8:30am) to the last return point where we started (8:00 pm) What made this even longer was an arguement between the tour gude (Effie) and one of the participants. It was just before 7pm and the passenger asked 2 questons: 1. What was the approximate time of arrival in Athens and 2: What would be the drop off order to the hotels. In response, Effie got very agitated and said she was not a magician and could not predict the exact arrival time or order of drop off. This loud argument in the aisles lasted several minutes. At one point Effie said the questioner would just have to wait. The questioner at all times was polite. After finally making an announcement to all which partially answered these basic questions, I overheard a comment from." Effie seemingly trying to justify her actions saying "Look at my ratings: I get 5 out of 5 stars. Her rude and demeaning responses in this situation brought her from a 5-Star to a 1-Star in my opinion. Recommendations: If you do take this tour, go rogue. Use it as a means to get there and back. Take Rick Steves' Greece book, and follow his very well laid out walking tours of both the ruins and the museum. (We were able to see all the rooms of the museum at our pace, while Effie and the group were less than a half the way through. We doubled back to listen to her explanations which were fine, but the group skipped many of the rooms due to inefficient timing and missed many significant points that Rick Steves made). Do not take the lunch option (it was medeocre without a view because the curtains were closed due to the sun), but explore the villiage instead and find better food options there.
