“A great way to spend a few hours in Athens. Go in the afternoon when all the tour groups have been and gone. We went in the smaller entrance on the south side of the site opposite the museum and there was no que at all.”
Athens to Delphi day trip with VR audio guide, Delphi Museum and ruins, plus Arachova village breaks. Small-group, air-conditioned comfort.
“Our guide George was so kind, caring, and informative. The trip was immaculately planned and every detail felt thought out. I really appreciated the details of getting to stop for a moment to take photos of scenic Arahova from the lookout at the end of the tour and the fact that we stopped at a restroom before plunging into Athens traffic on the way home. Delphi itself was absolutely gorgeous. The ruins were well preserved and having the mountains of Greece as a backdrop made it all the more awe inspiring. The climb was doable because we had ample time to make it taking breaks along the way.”

But big applause goes to Vasilis. He was very nice, gentle, helpful, funny and always smiling young man! He is doing great job! Consider yourself lucky if you have him!”
