Explore Delphi from Athens by air-conditioned bus with VR audio guidance, museum entry, mountain villages, and excellent value at $30.

“Definitely recommend. Bus was on time and our tour guide Vasilis was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history, and although this isn’t a guided tour, he provided us with plenty of information about the site/surrounding locations on the bus. He was also really friendly and kept everyone interested by adding humour to things he was explaining. A credit to the tour company. Delphi itself is definitely worth the visit, and regarding the other reviews which mention traffic, on a Saturday in November it was fine. One thing I would say is if you are under 25 it’s worth buying your ticket there, as it’s half price…”

Review of the Delphi day trip from Athens, with expert guiding, museum treasures, Arachova lunch, transport details, costs, and practical tips.

“Our tour guide Dionysis was phenomenal in his knowledge and storytelling. He also always had an answer ready for any question. And his tips about how to beat the crowds were invaluable! Despite the rain, wind and fog, the tour was definitely worth it. The schedule was not too tight and left room for a bit of exploration at our own pace. The optional groul lunch was very tasty and it surprisingly had some options for different dietary needs. The drive in the coach was also pretty comfortable and relaxing and the team made sure to include little breaks!”

He was very obliging in helping us find a couple of items we needed back in Athens and drove us to the best stores to get them. Definitely worth the price and I would highly recommend it.”

12.Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 492 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $169Top rated

Visit Delphi, Arachova, Corycian Cave, and Thermopylae from Athens in one long, history-packed day with a small group and local guide.

“Great full-day tour and the easiest way to see Delphi, Thermopylae, and the Corycian Cave without renting a car. Our guide was very knowledgeable and used a Bluetooth microphone so everyone could hear clear explanations during the drive. Pickup was basically on time, and the van was comfortable for a solo traveler. Delphi was the highlight - touring independently with the pamphlets he provided made it easy, though time flew by and I wish I had spent more time on the site than in the museum. Tickets are not included (20€). Lunch restaurant was good but pricey. The Corycian Cave was easy to access and surprisingly interesting - we even…”

14.Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 445 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $108

Visit Delphi from Athens in a small group with hotel pickup, expert guides, mountain views, museum treasures, and a local lunch stop.

“First, plan on a 11+ hour day, not 9 hours. When they say it starts at 8:00 am, that means they need to pick up the last group by 8:00 am. So our pick up time was 7:30 am and then we didn't get back to our hotel until 7:00 pm. The guides were pretty good. The guide on the bus was nice, but she didn't bother using a microphone until someone kept saying they couldn't hear her. The bus ride is long, hilly and with lots of twists and turns. Our bus driver was pretty aggressive. So if you get motion sick easily this might not be for you.…”
