Don’t miss this day trip out of Athens! - Loved St. Lucas monastery. It is a must see. Some of the most beautiful mosaics ever. And Delphi is amazing. Walk all the way to the top! It’s worth it. And we had lunch at the most beautiful location overlooking Corinth Gulf. And Michael was great. It was all so incredible!

Great full day experience visiting Delphi and St Lukas monastery with a private tour guide. - We really enjoyed this well organized, private, friendly and professional tour. Spiros, our driver and tour guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating he gave us tons of information and advice and plenty of time to make our site visits unrushed and at our own pace. Lunch was at a good local restaurant with an amazing view of the gulf of Corinth, and plenty of good local choices, with friendly staff. Delphi and St Lukas monastery are a must see. We highly recommend this private tour.

Wonderful drivers, wonderful experiences! - Our first two tours in our three-week Mediterranean trip was with My Athens Transfers and they were absolutely wonderful! We had many other tours, with other companies, throughout the trip, but these two tours stand out as the very best! Our first trip was the half day tour to Corinth and the Acrocorinth, which had incredible views! Stéphanos was our driver. We really enjoyed his story-telling and his passion for the history of his country. Our second trip, the next day, was to Delphi and the Monastery of Hosios Loukas. Delphi was fascinating, as expected, but the Monastery was beyond expectation. If you’re a lover of early medieval art, you must go! Our driver, Petros, was phenomenal. We learned a lot from him and he also booked us a beautiful table, with stunning views, at a great restaurant in Delphi. Both Stéphanos and Petros were kind, interesting, fun, and accommodating. We enjoyed having two informative drivers and then the chance to explore on our own. We also loved the door to door pick-up and safe return. If I ever have the privilege of returning to Greece, I will exclusively book through this company!

We had a wonderful day... - We had a wonderful day trip to Delphi with Petros as our driver. He was very well-organized, punctual, and drove safely throughout the journey. Petros is also a great conversationalist with a deep knowledge of Greek history—his insights really enriched our understanding of the sites we visited.
One of the highlights was the lunch he arranged at a local restaurant with beautiful views—it was the perfect break during our trip and a great way to experience local cuisine.
Petros is more than just a driver—he’s a true local expert who made our Delphi trip smooth, informative, and memorable. Highly recommended!

Delphi and Monastery - Immersive historical experiences. So glad we saw Delphi and Monastery. It’s worth the trip from Athens if you can devote the day to it.

Day at Delphi - We spent the day staring around in disbelief. How in the world are we seeing all of this in person?
Our driver, Panos was prompt and courteous. He was very knowledgeable about all things Greek and would answer as many questions as we asked (and was quiet during the nap on the drive home). He made sure we knew exactly where to go and would pick us up in minutes from our request. Best of all, we were free to decide how long we wanted to stay in each location along the way.
It’s a very full day, but this is the way to do it if you can.

Athena to Delphi Must Do Day Trip! - We absolutely loved our day with Notis, thank you! We learned so much about Greek history, culture, and cuisine. His recommendation for lunch was excellent! There are quite a few steps at the temple and not that many railings. Something to keep in mind if someone in your party has mobility issues. It sprinkled on and off making the steps/paths slippery. Tennis shoes or hiking shoes with grip are a must. Such a fantastic day with breathtaking views, once in a lifetime experiences, the olive grove and learning about traditional harvesting was unbelievable.

An unmissable experience - The monastery was one of the most peaceful and charming places we have ever visited. And Delphi itself is steeped in history. Our driver/guide was excellent - knowledgeable and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.
