Athens · DELPHI DAY TRIPS
The oracle sat where the mountains fold, a three-hour drive north, and a good day there is as much the road as the ruins. These 15 Delphi trips differ on group size, the Arachova stop and whether lunch is included — priced, timed, and honest about the early start.

“Delphi is an amazing experience and possibly the most evocative of ngelaall the visits available from Athens: no matter how many times I have heard these stories, seeing where it all took place and with the excellent descriptions from our guide Angela, it was truly special. It was unfortunate that we were delayed for hours in the Athens traffic on our return - likely a regular occurrence - but that was out of anyone's control and, whilst testing my patience, did not detract from this superb experience.!”
Small-group day trip from Athens to Delphi and Arachova. See the Oracle, key museum pieces, and mountain town views with audio.
“The day trip was absolutely amazing! Timing wise everything was planned efficiently and we never stood in queues. The pickup was organised outside the city centre so we did saved a lot of time at Delphi. Our driver-guide, Kostas, was amazing! He provided lots of great stories about Greece, suggested where to eat. Some tourists got late and we were delivered to the next spot, while Kostas got back to find missing people. So no tourists were left behind and full group came back to Athens. Absolutely nice and would recommend it!”

“Absolutely wonderful tour of Delphi. The bus was comfortable, the tour guide was great. Highly recommend getting a donut at the stop on the way up. The food provided on the your, if chosen, was not worth it and would recommend grabbing lunch on your own. Highly recommend this tour and seeing another part of Greece with amazing view and history”

“Terrific tour guide, one of the best. BUT - the group was 40+ persons. There is no way that you can enjoy / see/ hear what the tour guide is explaining. Again: tour guide was great - so was the bus driver!”

Delphi, Thermopylae, and Corycian Cave in one long day, capped at 8 people, with a small-group guide, book, and views.
“Originally I'd been looking into getting to Delphi and Thermopylae myself - tend to do a lot of travelling in Scotland and enjoy finding my own way. But upon seeing the travel options to get there and how relatively little there is to do around Thermopylae apart from the battlefield I started to consider other options. So many of the tours were just to Delphi. But for this one to cover the exact places I want to go, plus the cave and flying visit through Arachova... It was perfect. I maintain that I COULD have found my way to the battlefield or the other sites by myself, sure. But. Without…”
Delphi day trip from Athens: guided stops at the Sanctuary of Apollo, Omphalos and the Treasury of the Athenians, plus the Delphi Museum.
“We really enjoyed our tour. The tour guide Malitsa was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgable and helped us understand and appreciate the historical significance of the sites. It is very obvious that she loves what she does. She took the time to explain information. She was also very helpful in helping us understand the Greek culture. She has a wonderful sense of humour and wants people to enjoy their time in Athens. Thank you Militsa for a wonderful trip to Athens.”

“This was a good experience and Delphi was neat, but we would have preferred to rent a car and do this trip on our own. The tour did not adhere to the expected schedule so we were starving for lunch and had to cancel our dinner reservations because we did not get back at the time that was communicated to us.”
VR audio day trip from Athens to Delphi, with museum time, VR-guided site exploring, free lunch time, and quick Arachova photo stops.
“Our guide, Dido, was very knowledgeable. It was disappointing that parts of Delphi were closed due to rocks falling down hills, so not as much to see as we wanting to see-- not our tour guide's fault. The virtual guide had potential, but its technical operation was problematic. The Delphi museum was interesting. The bus ride to and from Athens was rather long-- 3+ hours each way.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
