Customer Reviews

Great Time in Delphi, Challenging Drive through Arachova
Trent Y., 19 December 2025

Would definitely recommend for the Delphi experience, very informative tour guide and entertaining ride from Athens. For a "small group" (<16) excursion, the use of a huge tour bus was an unfortunate mistake and uncalled for considering the extremely narrow, crowded streets of the mountain town Arachova. Lost significant time stuck in traffic due to the size of the bus vs. oncoming other buses and trucks. Should use a 'Sprinter' bus that seats about 18, is much more compact and appropriate for that tour. A good experience overall, despite the judgment error of the tour company.

Delphi was truly inspiring
Amy E., 30 September 2025

Our tour guide was amazing! She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Delphi was exactly as expected! Lots of climbing and very hot- but worth it! Arachova was meh. I had high hopes, but there wasn't enough time to really explore and the stray dogs made us sad. Not enough time to eat and shop.
