This was a thoroughly enjoyable tour! Our guide George was friendly, punctual and well organised. Communication was excellent right throughout and we were made to feel welcome and relaxed with clear instructions, meeting times and locations given. The group was roughly 40, including children and people requiring mobility assistance. The bus trip was comfortable and informative and about 2.5hrs each way. The site itself is stunning, signed well and the VR element with music was super immersive. The suggested lunch location was tasty ranging €10-20pp.

It was really easy to book and to find the pick up point. We even had to change the date due to our travel plans and that was very easy to do. Michaela, our guide was very informative. Delphi, itself was stunning and I am so glad we went to experience the site. We had a stop in Delphi for lunch and a photo stop in Arachiva. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day.

This was a fantastic day trip to the archeological site and museum. First and foremost, never felt rushed at the site. We had plenty of time to walk around and take in the ruins. The bus ride was comfortable, and major props to the bus driver for getting us around the tight turns, especially in Arachovo. Thanos was our guide, and he was very nice and infromative. I only wish he would snap his fingers every so often (that's an Avengers joke for you). After the site, we had a lovely time at a restaurant to take in drinks with a view. And the VR stuff? It was cool at first, but slowly we got tired of looking at the screens and felt better off just reading the plaques.

Every moment was a joy. For the rest of my life I will have these memories. It was an amazing excursion with a great tour guide, fantastic views and high energy spots within the archeological site.

Our guide Michaela was very friendly and attentive. She was smiling and gave interesting explanations, speaking in English slowly enough so that we didn't get too lost. She always made sure she had everyone on the bus when it left, so it was impossible for the bus to leave without us. On the other hand, the time spent at the site and museum was too short. Just over 2 hours! It wasn't enough for us to take full advantage of the archaeological site and museum as we would have liked, given the size and importance of the place. We would have preferred more time on site, even if it meant less at the other stops. And we didn't know when the meal time would take place. It was a bit vague, and we'd have preferred to have a precise schedule for the day from the outset.

The price with the ticket included was very competitive. I would, however, suggest an earlier departure from Delphi as we only had time to see the ruins. An extra 30 - 45 minutes would also have permitted us to see the museum, so at least 3 hours at the site instead of 2 hours.

The visit to Delphi is impressive, and all the more so with the explanations we had got in the bus during the trip to Delpi, with an excellent, cultured and entertaining guide.

Apr 2025Verified booking
The bus broke down on the way back. On the outward journey it took longer to get the tickets from the guide, who had to queue at the ticket office rather than buy them directly. The guide didn't explain how to use the phone, mainly because the virtual reality had to be synchronized with the real view.
