Athens: Mythology of Delphi, Museum and Arachova Guided Tour

1.Mythology of Delphi, Museum and Arachova Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,008 reviews · from $31Our pick

Travel from Athens to Delphi with a live English or Spanish guide, exploring the Temple of Apollo, ancient theater, and museum treasures including the Charioteer. Break for coffee in Livadia and spend 90 minutes in Arachova for lunch, local shops, and mountain views.

“Our guide, Dimitrious, was AMAZING! He told basically the whole history of Ancient Greece, told all the important things we needed to know about Delphi and so much more. It was truly a masterclass. We also had time to wonder around Delphi by ourselves, which we always appreciate. The town of Arachova (lunch break) was a jewel. Such a cute little medieval town, we loved it soooo much.”

“Excellent trip. Delphi is amazing and although a long day out, was so worth it. Some guests were late at each stop, which extended the day but the guide and driver did their best to keep everything moving along without stressing and letting it spoil the day. Amazing to see the historic sites set in a beautiful location. The guide was very informative and give a good level of information during the journey and at the sites. This really made a positive difference to the day. Bus was clean and comfortable but be aware that there is no toilet on board and they are not keen on you eating or…”

“Tour was overpriced, much cheaper to book the travel only and get tickets direct. Keytours (operator) charge a huge premium for the tickets. You could book the tickets on the coach and join the group tour for significantly less. I have complained but they have just said no refund. Cannot fault the guide or driver, but BE WARNED NOT TO PURCHASE TICKETS FROM KEYTOURS. Just book the travel and buy tickets in coach this will save you over €30 Per person.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,100 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $38

Travel from Athens to Delphi by air-conditioned coach with an English-speaking guide such as John, Iris, or Vangelis. Tour Apollo’s sanctuary and museum, then pause in mountain-town Arachova for lunch or free time. Expect a long day, scenic roads, uneven paths, and a group of up to 40.

“Our guide, Elisavet, was very knowledgeable and gave information both on our journey to Delphi and on the trip back, so even the “boring” driving parts of the journey were never boring. Delphi itself was of course very beautiful even in winter. We opted for the no lunch option and took food with us, and I think this worked out very well as we had more time to explore the mountain town of Aráchova, which is absolutely stunning. The views were spectacular.”

13.Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 445 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $108

Travel from Athens to Delphi in an air-conditioned minivan with hotel pickup, an English-speaking escort, and a local guide at the ruins. See Apollo’s sanctuary, the Delphi museum, Athena Pronaia, and Arachova. Expect a long day, roughly 9 hours on paper and sometimes 11 or more in practice.

“First, plan on a 11+ hour day, not 9 hours. When they say it starts at 8:00 am, that means they need to pick up the last group by 8:00 am. So our pick up time was 7:30 am and then we didn't get back to our hotel until 7:00 pm. The guides were pretty good. The guide on the bus was nice, but she didn't bother using a microphone until someone kept saying they couldn't hear her. The bus ride is long, hilly and with lots of twists and turns. Our bus driver was pretty aggressive. So if you get motion sick easily this might not be for you.…”
