Delphi was amazing, and the journey there went perfectly with our guide Dimitris and driver Manos! Everything was very well organized, and Dimitris was extremely friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. Thanks to Dimitris, I had plenty of time to take everything in properly, including the museum.

The tour was truly enjoyable. George, our tour guide, told us stories all along the way to Delphi, introducing us to both the historical and mythological origins of the places we visited. The tour stuck to all the stops and the itinerary did not disappoint. The bus is comfortable and the ride is pleasant. There is plenty of time to leisurely visit both the historical site and the museum, and the audio guides with virtual reality made it possible to see what the city was like in the past.

Amazing tour! Everything was well planned, and our guide was great. The only thing I would have appreciated was knowing how long the rides between each place would take.

Yesterday
- Busy day, good experience, - Tour guide is always enthusiastic, explained a lot - Driver is also a nice guy, patience during the whole 10 hr trip, bus is clean. - well communication during the trip and try to maintain the time with full of bus passengers. Big kudos. - after the trip, feel memorable. Recommendations: - Delphi archeological place and museum visit duration is not sufficient. 10-15 min more needed. - Maybe we missed a place than scheduled. Maybe due to time. Otherwise change trip destination.

Once you're picked up from either of the 4 pick-up points from Athens, you'll enjoy a scenic drive across the mainland to Delphi. You'll get a chance to explore the fascinating archaeological site with an engrossing VR audio guide available in 7 languages - English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Russian and Polish.
