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.”

“Michael was a wonderful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and his pace was appropriate. The only negative was the earpieces. They were fine if you were within a couple of meters of Michael but not so much away from him. This was a bit distracting as the acropolis is so crowded that we were a little apprehensive of losing our group. But to be fair, I was far more apprehensive than my husband! Great tour!”

Delphi English Day Trip from Athens with Official Guide

15.Delphi English Day Trip from Athens with Official Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,199 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $78

Spend about 10 hours traveling from Athens to Delphi with an official English-speaking guide. Visit the Temple of Apollo, Delphi Archaeological Museum, and the Charioteer of Delphi, then stop in Arachova. Hotel pickup is available from selected hotels, and lunch is optional.

“We’d heard that Delphi was a must-see for our trip to Athens, but thought the area was underwhelming, especially compared to our guided tour of the Acropolis. The drive was lovely, through interesting mountains and countryside, and the guide did her best when she didn’t have any technology (all the other tours used a headset and receiver to be able to hear the guide’s voice) to speak to us as we were walking through the ruins and museum, but most of us couldn’t hear what she was saying.”
