The view from the top of the site was incredible
Anonomous
, Sep 2020
Unfortunately this tour was a bit of a disappointment. The location was fantastic and guide was very knowledgeable. However, due to covid, we were told we must stick with the tour guide. This in principle is not a problem if we had continued to slowly make our way up the trail while he talked, but instead he spend lots of time talking at the lower parts of the trail, stopping for 10 mins at a time. The money shot that everyone comes to see and the image on there advertising material is right at the top and he did not go that far and actually told people they couldn't go up there as was to far from the group. I did ignore this and went a head anyway and it was fantastic. However was made to feel bad as was told I could get fined for leaving the group by the guide. Id paid for a ticket like every other tourist so found it unfair to be told i couldnt access parts of the site. The best bit no less when this was a once in a lifetime experience. Many people in the group did not get to see the view from the top with the theatre below. Which is what we all came to see. I feel gutted for them and from feedback I got, i think they wished they had been a bit more like me and gone ahead, if they had know the guide wouldn't go to the top. People were very disappointed. I understand the restrictions, but the situation was preventable and I would recommend to the guide and tour company that they focus there commentary at the top of the trail, not the bottom. For anyone visiting when covid is over, I'm sure it would be a much better experience.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback regarding our Delphi: A Day Tour at the Navel of the World from Athens. We apologize for not meeting your expectations during your visit to Delphi. Please, kindly note that the top of the trail is not part of the guided tour. Before COVID-19, the guest has the chance to go up there at his own pace during the tour's free time. But due to COVID-19 restrictions, the members of each group are not allowed to investigate the site alone.
We apologize again for your disappointment and we remain at your disposal.
Best Regards,
Marianna Papakosta

Best guided tour to Delphi

A trip to Delphi was worth every but of it. So far it was the best one day tour from Athens. A drive of about 2½ hrs from Athens which passes by in no time as our tour guide, Ms. Meriana, shared the in depth knowledge about Athens and all the places that came on our way to Delphi.
Thank you Viator and Key Tours for such a beautiful trip.

It was an excelent experience. Thank you to Evan, our guide - he is very passionate; he offered a lot of useful information, history and we spend a lovely day. We were lucky that was sunny day and also that we visited Museum with original statues founded when excavation and archeological researched were done - dont miss it.
I recommend this trip and maybe would be good if will be 1 stop in Arachova - a beautiful small city in the top of the mountain.
Thank you once again Evan and Viator team.

Average tour, awful lunch!

Let me start by saying that Delphi is an awesome place to visit if you get a chance when in Athens...I would give it a 5 star! Just be careful with what tour company you choose, ours was Key Tours.
We were picked up from hotel as per schedule which was good. First stop a coffee break , then to the ruins with about 1.5 hours to visit, then to the museum with about an hour to visit in rush (no free time was given here other than the guided part) then lunch break which was well over an hour. The place where we had to go for lunch is called Symposium (?) It was extremely crowded with 2 buses already there, the hosts were rude (and frustrated with so many people to serve), they had only one vegetarian option. Not to mention, it wasn't cheap. If you prepay for lunch with your tour, it may be better as you will be stuck in that restaurant anyway(there are no other places to go around there) . Due to bad weather we had to take a longer route, which I completely understand. After all safety is most important.We took a road along Delphi coast which is a breathtaking drive but they did not stop even once for any photo opportunities but we did take a bathroom break after we got off the coastal area.We reached back in Athens at 8.30 pm. So out of the 12.5 hour tour, we actually spent only 2.5 hours doing sightseeing. I understand that they have to follow schedule but at times you need to make slight changes depending on the situation. I was also hoping there would be a quick stop in the village of Arachova as some tour companies do, that did not happen either.Also did not care much for the guide (Mariana) We felt that we wasted a whole day out of our 5 precious days in Greece. We were not the only ones on the bus who were disappointed in this trip and there were 40 other people in this group!

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your time to leave us your feedback. We feel sorry for not meeting your expectations during your tour with us. As you have already mentioned, safety is the most crucial factor. Due to the terrible weather, we had to take a longer route and extend the duration of the tour for an extra 2.5 hours, which obliged us to follow the schedule as better as we could. Keep in mind that among the 45 people in this group, some guests had managed their time according to the fact that we would have returned 2.5 hours earlier. Regarding the restaurant, please note that we always try to co-operate with the best places each area has to offer. We will take your comments into serious consideration to improve further our tours and services.
We remain at your disposal.
Best Regards,
Marianna Papakosta

A great tour featuring a world class site painstakingly and continuously restored. The Oracle of Delphi and its accompanying museum is a must to visit to complement your knowledge of the ancient civilisation in Europe and Asia Minor. The guide and driver services were excellent and the tour was well run. The only setback was the rush hour traffic returning to Athens, that was however beyond the tour operator's control.

This was the by far the best tour we went on. Highly recommend this company, they use headsets while exploring the sight, so there is no need to yell and they can be heard from afar. Our guide was Evan, he provided one of the best experiences with his deep knowledge of ancient mythology, as well as giving you some modern Greek phrases which came in handy. We also recommend not buying the added lunch option as you eat at the same restaurant regardless, so you have the option to choose what you get. As it is pre-determined what you get when you buy the lunch add on.

Very nice trip, comfortable bus and our guide Dimitris was excellent. The archaeological site and the museum was great. Unfortunately, we could not visit Athena Pronaia Sanctuary as advertised (and me and my husband main reason to take this trip) and they did not give any reason for skipping this visit (we do not know if it was for tight schedule or they just forgot) We did not include lunch on the trip but the restaurant they took us was nice with typical Greek food.

We are happy you found this trip very lovely. We could not agree more with you that Dimitris is fantastic, very helpful, informative, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We will transfer to him your comments the soonest as possible.
As for your reference to Athena Pronaia Sanctuary, during October, some maintenance work took place. If you could tell us which day was your tour, we can confirm.

This was a very nice tour. Our guide Anna was very knowledgeable and professional. She along with our driver, George, kept thing moving nice, smooth, and safe. She presented many interesting historical facts in a clear and easily understood manner. The countryside is very beautiful and rich in history. We stopped at a very nice restaurant and had adequate rest stops. The only thing I would suggest would to improve pickup arrangements of all the guest going on this tour and other to us at the same time. Nice comfortable coaches. Enjoyed through day.
