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.”

They were expecting us and got us out the door with tickets and audio equipment quickly and we joined without missing a thing. Our tour guide Anna was beyond accommodating and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff!! We took the additional museum tour with her guidance and we had a very informative and enlightening afternoon. Take this tour, you will not regret it.

11.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.”

The e-tickets were emailed to us a few days before our booked slot, which allows us direct access to the museum. This saves time for not rushing with the crowd at the ticketing queue on top of cheaper pricing. Thanks.”
