5.00Wonderful experience. Delphi was even nicer than expected. The surrounding mountains were beautiful. And the town of Arachova was enchanting. Marianna our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Tour was well organized, bus new and very clean. Driver excellent. Learned so much about the Greek origin of our English vocabulary. Extremely interesting. Give it 5+ stars.
nice but over-hyped - do the Meteora day-trip instead

5.00Absolutely wonderful tour of Delphi. The bus was comfortable, the tour guide was great. Highly recommend getting a donut at the stop on the way up. The food provided on the your, if chosen, was not worth it and would recommend grabbing lunch on your own. Highly recommend this tour and seeing another part of Greece with amazing view and history
