Bill, our driver, picked us up extra early so we could finish in time to board our cruise, and delivered us to the ship on time. We enjoyed Delphi and had a wonderful lunch in town before the drive back.

We had a great day visiting Delphi. Alex kept the conversation flowing throughout the drive. We had a good car (sUV) and Alex’s driving was smooth- both of which were critical for us as my husband had severe sciatica issues that had led us to opt for a private tour. The tour was 9 hours long and we got to visit Delphi ( the ruins annd the museum) and pass by Arachova where we stopped for pictures and strolled through the small town for some window shopping. Alex also booked us a table at a nice restaurant with a view and gave us suggestions on what to order. We followed his suggestions and it was delicious. Overall very happy with how our day went
Great guide, great time. Perfect experience

A bucket list kind of day. Our guide, Alex, picked us up from our hotel. Was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to learn interesting history. Stopped us at a great spot for pictures. The Temple of Apollo and Museum were amazing! Alex also booked us a table at a local tavern with a gorgeous view. Had a great time and was the perfect day excursion for our honeymoon trip. He then dropped us off at Monastiraki square so we could get LUKUMADES. Also gave us great suggestions for meals and any things to do before we leave Athens.

We had a great day at Delphi with Nikko. We thought it would be a half day tour, but it was actually 8-9 hours with Athens traffic and all. Experiencing that bit of traffic and the narrow streets we were happy not to be driving. It was raining when we left Athens, which was worrisome, but it cleared beautifully by the time we got to Delphi. What a glorious view! The ruins were fun to explore and the museum gave it context. Entrance fee to the site and museum was.$20 pp, which we paid at the gate. Wear hiking clothes and shoes. A breezy skirt and sandals will get you injured. Unfortunately there had been a landslide that caused Athena's temple area to be closed, but the main Apollo reconstruction was 80% open. For some reason the upper tiers were closed, which was a little disappointing. Nikko then brought us into New Dephi for lunch, which was very good (but don't order the house wine--it's terrible.) Absolutely get the tiramisu! Lunch for 2 was about $40. We were also given the opportunity to visit a little ski town, which was story book cute and the views again were amazing. I want to mention that we were visiting in October, so crowds were diminished greatly, but it was still plenty busy with 3 or 4 large group tours to avoid or try to muscle through. Patience is a requirement! All in all a great day. Greece really is a beautiful country. Thanks Nikko's!

Our tour guide George made our experience one that we will never forget. He was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and passionate about his role. He went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Whoever gets George as a guide will not be disappointed. He was amazing!
