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…”

12.Premium Delphi Day Trip with an Expert Guide, Museum & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
