Delphi private museum and site tour - The guide gave us excellent explanations and pointed out highlights in the museum tour first. I am very impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge that we are finding in all these licensed guides.

Definitely recommended - Sotiria was a super guide. She immersed us in the history of Delphi for 2.5 hours. She was waiting for us punctually and shared her archaeological knowledge with us!

Fantastic guide. - Our tour guide, Helen of Patras, was clearly an expert not only on Delphi but Greek History and a brilliant storyteller to boot. She brought the site alive. The two hours flew by.

Highly Recommend! - A truly exceptional and highly personal way to understand this iconic site. We toured both the museum and the ruins, and would absolutely not have had the context to experience Delhpi in the same way without this tour!

Wonderful tour covering art, history, archaeology and religion at Delphi. - Georgia was knowledgeable, amiable and had a great pace. She hit the highlights of the wonderful museum and ably answered all our questions. We couldn’t ask for a better guide to this important world heritage site at Delphi.

- Our tour and tour guide were both excellent. Licen was unfailingly well-informed on any question that we could ask and she was very passionate about Delphi. She made the tour very enjoyable. Two hours was perfect for our family of 4.

Good guided tour - The good: great to have the guide summarize what we were seeing, and she was helpful in taking pictures of our whole group The not-so-good: the guide was a few minutes late and the experience seemed curt and not as warm and inviting as other experiences we had dwhile we were in Greece.

Disappointed in the tour guide and/or content. - Delphi is amazing. However, two hours was not nearly enough.And this was a private tour! While our guide was fairly knowledgeable, she rushed past many exhibits, especially in the museum, where we wanted to learn more about specific exhibits and possibly linger a bit longer to take them in. We had very little time to simply soak in the serenity of the site. We were constantly on the move. In addition, the tour didn’t even include the stadium. I really wanted to show that to my wife. (It’s roped off anyway, so it would have been a minimal experience, considering the further climb involved. I’m of Greek ancestry, and visited Delphi once before, long ago, so I had quite a bit of interest in the details. Others would probably enjoy the tour, as it was. In addition, I was disappointed we could not tour the gymnasium and the balance of the ruins below. Again, they were closed. Another problem was our arrival. The guide was supposed to meet us outside the gate. No one (three of them) at the ticket booth had any idea what I was showing them, in the way of your emails, tickets and/or vouchers. The same applied at the entryway to the museum. That was a seriously distressful situation. Our guide was inside the museum, PAST the metal detector at the entrance!!! As excited as I was to visit again and share this site with my wife, it was a real let down for me.
