Outstanding experience.

Andrew_P, May 2024

Excellent guide and driver and a memorable tour of a unique site. Good value and extremely efficient, helpful and informative. Georgi was outstanding.

Worth it!

Finella_M, May 2024

An excellent day well worth doing. Our guide Giarggi (very loose guess at spelling) was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and the day ran very smoothly. So good to be able to see more of Greece so easily and to see the special site of Delphi.

Excellent Trip

Harry_W, May 2024

Knowledgeable guide, comfortable bus, right number of stops & time to visit sights. Appreciated the guide leaving at announced times, also. Well worth the cost!!!!

Great Trip to Learn and Explore

ShiXing_Y, Apr 2024

Walking around Delphi was great. Make sure you also go to the Temple of Athena. The food at Arachova was excellent!

Delphi

Kathy_I, Apr 2024

Theo was a great guide and very kind. The views were beautiful!!! Recommend to all. The bus was comfortable and stoped along the way for a break! Great job!

Didn't like that much. Just transportatiin. Not a guided tour.

Armenuhi_K, Apr 2024

The guide didn't join us to the site and museum. Which was a big deception for me. Other groups were followed by a guide who was telling and paying attention to important details.

Delphi and Arachova, the best!

Brenda_G, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful time! Our guide, Angelica (I think was her name), was the best. She was sweet and told great stories and was super helpful. I would tour with this company again.

Great day trip

camilo_m, Apr 2024

Delphi is not only an historic place, but also a beautiful one! I really recommend it! The driver/guide was nice and knowledgeable

Fun and informative

raleigh_b, Apr 2024

Very punctual tour. Guide on the bus was knowledgeable and gave a succinct description of what we would see, as well as good places to eat in arachova after.

Liked it

Dibyojyoti_S, Apr 2024

Our guide Angelina was very nice. Always smiling, helpful and she was good in historical and mythical story telling.

Great staff

ikan_y, Apr 2024

The tour is provided by Ammon Express. We love our driver and guide. Very pleasant experience. Will do other tour with them.

Great experience

Judith_H, Mar 2024

Our tour guide, Chrysla was very knowledgeable. The tour itself is great as you get to roam around Adelphi and arachova on your own.

Great day out from Athens

Michael_H, Mar 2024

Our tour guide was very good and kept us interested all day. We all enjoyed the places we went to. Recommended

Ammen Tours Sucks

Fritz_B, Feb 2024

We followed emailed instructions to a tee. We were unable to locate the bus or the guide. Due to this we were unable to the the tour. Ammen Tours was no help. They were called multiple times and kept telling us we were in the wrong place. We've been to Greece on several occasions and are familiar with the Greek Metro system and were not in the wrong place. DO NOT TOUR WITH AMMEN TOURS.

Stunning views - worth it!

Jenna_B, Feb 2024

At first I wasn’t sure this would be worth it because we already saw the Acropolis and the Parthenon is a more complete structure however I was wrong. What makes Delphi so amazing is the views and the rich history. It was just stunning and the village we stopped in was charming. The bus is a large coach bus which was very nice and the guide was excellent.

Delphi should not be missed.

Crikey, Feb 2024

Delphi is a wonderful place to visit - you need an hour or more to explore the site and the same to visit the museum. We had plenty of time and then had a couple of hours in the nearby village of Arahova to eat and explore. Our guide was very efficient and friendly and knew a great deal of history - we had a condensed history of Greece on the journey up.

Great tour to historic Delphie

SandraE_T, Feb 2024

Beautiful temple area. Bus ride was comfortable. Tour guides were very efficient and helpful. Enjoyed the itinerary.

Lovely experience :)

Jana_M, Feb 2024

The trip was well organized, the driver and the guide were both very sweet. The guide (Vivien) spoke very interestingly, we loved all the information and fun facts she gave us. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I recommend it to everyone from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

Overwhelming Delphi experience

HyunSook_L, Feb 2024

I reserved this tour for a family trip and honestly Dimitra was fascinating. Her knowledge of Greek history was huge and her manner of telling us in gist made the whole trip far more interesting. Also loved her sense of humour. Pros - You can learn about Greek history and learn more with other exhibitions and sights in Athens. - Pick-up was smooth, the drive to Delphi was scenic - All the stops during the drive were nice. Especially the first place. Lots of cute cats and nice pastries. - Delphi in winter was still very lush and the temperature was just right. Couldn’t imagine going there in winter. - Having free time in Arachova was so much fun! Looking around shops and having lunch and not be forced to eat at one place was nice. Cons - The meeting point is in the outskirts of Athens. Avoiding traffic was nice, but it’s important to plan ahead to get there in time. - Sadly the people we were traveling with just couldn’t arrive in time at any place. We needed to wait every time for every stop… Well, nothing’s perfect. All in all, I can only recommend this tour! One of the best meals we had in Arachova and the snowy mountains in the background made it look like a small Swiss village. Very unique experience!
