Magnificent place Great guide - Delphi is absolutely magnificent. There is an inexplicable magic throughout the Delphi area that is as enigmatic as Pythia herself. Incredible experience. Very well organized tour with an amazing guide (Marianna)

Worth the long bus ride - This was a great day trip from Athens. The archeological site is much larger than I expected, and it's filled with a fascinating mix of mythology and history.

Excellent trip with a knowledgeable guide - We had a fantastic trip to Delphi and Arachova on 27 October with our very knowledgeable and informative guide (Dimitrios of Keytours). He brought the stories, the historic remains of Delphi and museum exhibits alive. He went out of his way to look after guests on the tour. Thanks also to our excellent driver Stelios. This is a fairly long day-trip, with quite a lot of driving from Athens, so the actual time in Delphi is slightly limited but we saw all we wanted to see. There are options of lunch at a restaurant in Arachova (which we didn’t take on this occasion, to allow for more sight-seeing) plus a short stop at a preferred partner shop before leaving Arachova on the way home. Overall, the trip was well-organised, ran to schedule, included all elements as-advertised and we had a memorable time. So much so, that my family booked a second tour (to Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidaurus) the following day with the same operator and guide! (Which unfortunately was full so I couldn’t get on it myself but they had an equally enjoyable experience!).

Marianna our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Tour was well organized, bus new and very clean. Driver excellent.

Give it 5+ stars.

The Delphi day trip was very well organized. - The day trip from Athens to Delphi was really hassle-free. The bus was comfortable, air-conditioned and had Wi-Fi. The guide was explaining the history throughout the route, which further enriched the experience.
The UNESCO-listed Delphi Ruins and Archaeological Museum are both amazing. The Apollo Temple and the museum are particularly interesting.
The short break in Arachova was very enjoyable - a great time for the mountain town, coffee and some quick pictures.
Even if you don't have an optional lunch, there are places to eat nearby. All in all, a very nice trip.

ao - I visited in November 2025. The weather was good and the scenery was good. For lunch, I had a choice of dishes, but the boar food was delicious. Although it was a weekday, there were considerable tourists at the archaeological museum and ruins, and there were concerns about congestion during the season.

A pleasant trip package - This is a pleasant trip package in the sense that it is all organised for you (driven to and from, a good guide). However, it felt a bit rush once at Delphi and at the museum. And the stop at Arachova village is lovely but a real tourist trap! The best thing would be to drive there yourself perhaps hiring a car outside Athens as the traffic can be intense.

nice but over-hyped - do the Meteora day-trip instead - lots of walking uphill; lots of stones and pillars - which only make sense because there are stories attached; the stop in the village is only enough for lunch - but its a nice village;
