This trip was first rate—well run, fabulous tour guide who was so smart and nice and excellent guide for the Delphi site. Had plenty of time to see everything and the guide got us through the crowds at the museum and had excellent information. Lunch was fabulous, but Delphi was unforgettable. Very well done!

This was one of 2 tours that we did with Getaways Greece, and I would recommend this company. They drove us in a small van, which was completely full. The guide was such a positive person. At Delphi we had a local guide in the museum and the archaeological site. We enjoyed it when they gave us a bit of free time and we ran up the hill to see the ancient stadium where the Pythian games were held.Afterwards the guide took us to lunch at a lovely local restaurant with an amazing view, where I drank Delphi beer. On the way back we stopped at scenic spots, including a famous stone clock tower in Arachova. It was a fun trip. The only thing I didn't like is that we had to walk to another hotel to be picked up and dropped off.
We had a wonderful time...

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Both our tour director Iliana and local Delphi guide George were super professional and knowledgable. The Delphi sites and museum were gorgeous! The tour van was very nice and comfortable, with usb chargers in each row. And the restaurant where we ate was phenomenal! Highly recommend!

Alexander, our guide was very kind and professional while also very knowledgable both about the Delphi but also about the countryside we saw along the way there from Athens and then included a brief driving tour of Athens on our return. Delphi is definitely an experience to include on a several day trip to Athens.
Perfect Delphi experience.

Our bus guide, Katerina, was wonderful. For me this was the perfect size group (17). I wish the ticket buying had either been done before or was more efficient but this seems to be common. Our hide in the museum and the for the starting the site was Helen (Helena?) and she was a little brusque. While I appreciated that that discouraged endless questions, I thought she was a little dismissive of the two people in our group who told her they moved slowly. And she seemed to be scolding children in the museum in Greek lol. The one thing I would change would be to stop in Arachova, not just drive through. It looked like such a charming town and I don’t think o was the only one who would have liked to spend even :30 there. Lunch was fun and the tour exceeded my expectations.
Highly recommended

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.
