2.0048 is too many for an older badly organized guide. The tour started from nowhere near the location given. We had to ask 3 different guides where our bus actually was. The couple online before us the OPERATOR messed up their booking and only had one person listed. Even after said couple produced the reservation they were still told they would have to go all the way back to the tour office. They did. The rest of the bus waited. We left late. Guode announced that some had tickets and some not. If not use the bus wifi to order online or buy when there. 1 person opted to buy there. The ENTIRE group had to wait 20 min in the sun whilst they waited in line..... Stopped part way. Told to meet at the bus at an assigned time. Guide and driver were both late. Ppl boarded. Several were chastized for bringing drinks. Yet no signage or advance notice. After 10 min of discussion those with drinks mostly finished them. We get to Delphi. And proceed VERY slowly with 3x repeats on descriptions in the first 5 min. Turned off the audio and walked around with my friend. Much much better. So many private and small group guides there that you can easily listen to those or just read the signs. Added bonus of not having 50 ppl in your pictures. We and several others arrived at the assigned meeting point. Tour guide and the rest of the group were a solid 20 min late. Proceed to the village for lunch. DO NOT GET THE LUNCH PACKAGE. Food was inedible and for the money you can get nice food in one of the many small family run options that are not packed solid with your operators making kickbacks.... We and seemingly everyone but the tour guide met at the assigned time and place of pickup. She arrived about 20 or so min late. Dithered about for another 10 min. Then we walked a few hundred yards to where the bus actually was. We knew this as the driver walked by our 2nd lunch. It was very nice. Has pink mopeds outside but I forget the name.
The place is very nice but the English language is not my forte

2.00They didn’t give me the audio in Spanish and I couldn’t understand the story in English. And I asked the guide that I book in Spanish but he did NOT solve me
