“The tour was so interesting, both the acropolis and the museum. We learnt a lot about the history of the acropolis ruins, we discovered new things about the acropolis beyond the Parthenon (the theaters, the entrance to the acropolis, the Erechtheion, etc), and we had all our thousand questions beautifully answered by our guide Aphrodite. Thanks Aphrodite for a great tour!”

“Having encountered many guides over many excursions over the years , my experience has mainly been very positive. When you encounter a guide that clearly has expert knowledge and shares that with you, the excursion is money well spent. What makes for an exceptional experience is not just imparted knowledge but a clear passion in the delivery. Thank you so much Eva you are a credit to your company. ❤️🙏”
Premium guided day trip from Athens to Delphi, with a Delphi museum stop, time in Arachova, and an expert guide plus lunch add-on.
“We just finished our tour to Delphi and absolutely loved it. Our guide, Vangelis, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and engaging. The tour was very well organized, and the ride was smooth—even on the return trip despite heavy traffic, which was simply due to the holiday season and a farmers’ strike, not the tour itself. I also accidentally mixed up our tour date and missed our original booking. The company went above and beyond by kindly making a special exception and allowing us to join the tour the following day. I know this isn’t standard practice and goes against company policy, but it truly speaks to how much they care about…”
