Well organised trip to Delphi from Athens. The tour guide Mariganna was great, she was friendly and very knowledgeable. The Delphi site is incredible, I went at the end of June it was approx 35 degrees, there's a steady but steep incline to the top, so take plenty of water and sensible footwear as the marble steps can be quite slippery. I opted to have the lunch included, we had a 3 course meal in a traditional Greek restaurant in Arachova, the food was great, fresh local produce. I would recommend to include the lunch on this trip. It was a long day, but i would recommend it. I would suggest you also need a good level of fitness as the walk while your in Delphi would be too much for people with walking difficulties

The old stones and the facts surrounding them are fascinating. If the audio guide told even more stories about the historical facts (e.g. from the perspective of fictional individuals: how did people experience the construction, how did they pay homage to the gods, what did the architects, construction workers think/feel, etc.) it would be an even better experience. The audio guide in the Panathinaikiou Stadium is a good example. Nevertheless, a great experience and interesting information.

Easy to book, in the end, we only used one audio guide because it was inconvenient to have one ahead of time. You should be able to buy only one audio guide and be able to pay for separate tickets. We downloaded the audio guide and still, when the internet went down, the app would just close. The place very nice. The information in the guide very complete and good, the experience with the app and audio guide, bad as it should be downloaded on the phone.

    Amazing trip to the Parthenon and Acropolis. Beautiful sights and best the crowd by going in the morning. Definitely worth spending a ton of time here.

    The heat and the crowds! Haha Seriously, the entire experience was memorable. The audio aided in appreciating and understanding the significance of the venue. And helped me discover that I'd been mistaking the Athena Nike temple for decades. Oops

    Yes, the Acropolis and its history is impressive. The experience is a journey into the past in which you understand the greatness of the Greek people and the devastation that humans are capable of producing without contemplation to the conquered.

    We love the flexibility that this entails. Tickets were pre-arranged by Headout 👍🏼. Audio guide in English was clear and made use of GPS. This flexibility allowed us to spend whatever amount of time that we'd wanted at each exhibit and at Acropolis itself, since it was extremely warm.
