The drive takes most of...

The drive takes most of the time 5 hours. Our driver just drove - not a tour guide or host…they were agitated in the Athens traffic. The Delphi guided tour was amazing- took about 2 hours and the only way to see and learn in that time. Worth it but a lot of car time so may not be for everyone.
Great Tour to Delphi

We had a wonderful day visiting Delphi. The views were amazing. Our guides were superb. Our tour guide at the site was especially outstanding. She took her time at the museum filling us in on the details AND her English was very easy to understand. We had a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant at New Delphi. The only thing that could have been better was the long wait in line at the site to get our tickets. We don't know what the problem was but it was wasted time. If the tickets could be purchased in advance for the group it would be better. Still, I would highly recommend the tour and it has made me want to go back to Delphi!
Nice but needs improvement

This was a good experience and Delphi was neat, but we would have preferred to rent a car and do this trip on our own. The tour did not adhere to the expected schedule so we were starving for lunch and had to cancel our dinner reservations because we did not get back at the time that was communicated to us.
Worth it!

Steph was an incredible guide! We were showered with lots of knowledge and fun facts during the drive to Delphi. Delphi was gorgeous and well worth the visit.

A small rock slide happened so there was a delay in entering the park - the trail to the stadium was closed for safety reasons. There are quite a few stairs, but it was manageable - nothing like the Acropolis! The views were fantastic! Highly recommend as a once in a lifetime trip. And yes, there were cats and one friendly dog. They have a cafe and a gift shop and a patio seating area. Thank goodness the gift shop has umbrellas for purchase since it starting raining at the end of our tour!
