Overview

Set in beautiful mountainous surroundings, and full of historic treasures, Delphi is a Greek jewel not to be missed. Step back in time on this day trip with a local and discover this ancient site for yourself. Plus visit a picturesque village and the beautiful Parnassus Mountain at the same time. Start your day like a local by enjoying Athens’s best breakfast, Greek pies. Whether you have a sweet tooth or are in the mood for something savory, there are flavors to suit all tastes. After breakfast, it’s time to escape the city and take a scenic drive to the famous Delphi site. On our way to the archeological site we will make a refreshing stop at the picturesque town of Livadia to admire the natural springs of Herkyna river. Delphi is full of historical treasures so take your time to discover them all. From the ancient temple to historic statues there is plenty to see. Plus your local host will share stories, myths and historical facts with you as you stroll along the paths together.

Fun day to Delphi with a very knowledgeable driver/ guide

Published on Jul, 2024

Nicholas took me to Delphi. Along the way, we stopped at LIVADIA, a worthwhile stop in a really cute town. Had a great Trojan horse ( Instagram spot!!!). The museum at Delphi is terrific and it was very hot so the walk up to the ruins was painful as there is no shade. Ruins not in great shape. But Nicholas also then took me for the best ice cream to help me cool down. Nicholas’s was very up on his history of Delphi and mythodology and had very entertaining stories so I got a good understanding before I got to museum- do museum first, then you have a better understanding of the pile of rocks . Youwill see only the Athens Treasury and the amphitheater are in good shape.

Great Delphi trip with local guide Nikos!

Published on May, 2024

We selected Nikos to take us (3 sisters from the U.S.) on a day trip to Delphi based on his reviews here. He did a great job, we felt very comfortable, and really enjoyed his enthusiastic knowledge and stories. He went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of, from stopping for coffee and bathroom breaks, to dropping us off at easy access to the sites, for the right amount of time. He then took us to a great local restaurant that was not full of the tour bus crowds which we really appreciated. It was a restaurant in the nearby town of Arachova, family owned for 120 years, and that was really special. We especially appreciated that Nikos was easy to talk to and a great conversationalist with lots of international adventures to share so the conversation was lively both to and from Delphi and during the lunch we shared with him. Thank you, Nikos!

Day Trip to Delphi

Published on May, 2024

We had a fantastic day trip to Delphi with Nikos. He arrived on time, navigated the Athens traffic with ease, was extremely friendly and engaging in addition to being a wealth of information. We were thrilled with our day and highly recommend Nikos. Kaitlyn, Shirley & Shelley

Great day with Thomas!

Published on Jul, 2023

Had a great day with Thomas! He spent many years in the UK so speaks great English. You won't feel rushed with Thomas -- he's got a plan for how the day should go but won't make you slurp down your cappuccino freddo to save 10 mins and get to the next step. He knows a lot about Delphi and clearly enjoys the areas. A meal in Arachova, the "Winter Mykonos", was a highlight -- great food/very relaxing. Thomas even sent us information about our next stop on our trip even though he wasn't guiding us. Really good experience and full day of siteseeing!

Fantastic Trip, Best Day on the Mainland

Published on Aug, 2022

I can't recommend Ioannis and this tour enough. Truly, it was our best day in Greece. What sets this tour apart is you're not just going to Delphi and getting dropped off. You get to see sites along the way and get a real feel for the country. We hit all of the major sites along the way, but also had a terrific lunch in a little seaside village, went for a swim and a beer at a local spot, and grabbed coffee in a village with a medieval castle. Ioannis is also extremely knowledgeable about Greek history and is genuinely a pleasure to chat with. If you do one thing outside of Athens, do this.
