Absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Alex was amazing - friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept us entertained throughout the ride. Delphi itself was awesome, the food was delicious, and I would fully recommend both this experience and tour guide to a friend coming here.

There were many steps and an uphill walk sometimes without steps. There weren't handrails for most of the walk. I'm saying this to say our guide was able to give us the time to get to the top. This is one advantage of having a private tour. We were also able to stay hydrated with water he supplied us with. Our guide was also informative with the history on the drive to Delphi and answered our questions. The meal in a restaurant was great. We were allowed to order from the menu which had a variety of Greek food. He then made several stops for picture taking. It was a great trip.
A lovely town, delicious Greek food, and a historical site

We had a great day with Πανος (Panos) that began with a laugh when we were picked up from our cruise port. He was a wealth of Greek history and our conversation made the ride up to Delphi go by faster. We stopped in Aracova along the way and also had a delicious lunch in Delphi. We had similar conversations on the way back from Delphi, but he gave us an opportunity to rest after being in the heat of the archeological site. He provided us with water, the car was impeccably clean, and he handled our (numerous pieces of) luggage easily. The private tour allows for conversations with a knowledgeable local that you simply can't have on a group tour. It was also really nice to get picked up from our ship and not need to store luggage/get transferred to our hotel.
Great 1-day road trip with excellent tour company

Excellent 1 day road trip. About 2.5 hours from Athens, Delphi is a great place to visit if you have the time. Both Delphi site and museum are worthwhile. The tour company was easy to work with and professional. Our guide, Spyros, was excellent. He is very knowable and provides the right amount of information. He is also a careful driver and was fully engaged taking care of us. He even arranged lunch in an authentic local place and reserved for us a great table with a wonderful view. Highly recommend.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Kostas, gave us a lot of good information about Greek mythology, as well as the Delphi ruins that we were going to see. After we toured the archeological site and explored the museum, he took us to a local restaurant with breathtaking views and delicious food. He was also a great sport about taking photos of us. We highly recommend his services.
