A Full-Day Tour Indeed! - My mom had mentioned taking a day trip to Delphi to check out the history and requested for me to search for a tour. Found this one on TripAdvisor and decided to book it! A key things to keep in mind: this tour is NOT guided and does NOT include the admission tickets. You are paying for the round trip transportation and escort essentially. However, the escort is still able to provide little tidbits and history of the archaeological sites and can even answer some of your questions that you may have of them. Our escort was named Giorgi, and he was very personable and knowledgeable. He welcomed any questions and did his best to keep us engaged. The ride to Delphi was about 2.5 hours with a small rest stop in between for a potty break and to grab something to snack on or drink. The entrance fee for both the main archaeological site and museum was €12 per person. There are two archaeological sites, but the main one holds the most of the major structures like the ancient stadium, Athenian treasury, and temple of Apollo. To get to the Tholos of Athena, it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the right. Definitely recommend to bring your comfy shoes with good traction as it can be quite slippery going up and down the inclines, a hat, and water! We went in September, and it was blazing out there! Temps were probably in the high 80s F. The breeze was nice, but man can those inclines get you.

The right way to experience Delphi for the first time - This was one of two Ammon Express tours we joined, and they were both fantastic. The guide for both trips were very knowledgeable archaeologists, and the way Ammon does these is perfect: instead of leading you through the sites (and creating a nuisance for other visitors, like other tour groups), they give you all the information you need during the journey, and then they answer any questions afterward. This approach works so well and allows you to use your time on the parts that are most interesting to you--while also giving you the information and resources you need. We plan to do the rest of their tours next time we're in Athens! Roi made Delphi so accessible, explaining both the mythology and the importance of Delphi to the development of civilization throughout its incredible history. She took the time with each member of our group to make sure our questions were answered and that we understood the significance of where we were. What an amazing experience!

Amazing, Beautiful, interesting Delphi- well worth a visit! - The top site was amazing. It is well organised and not too crowded. This is September. It was very hot. The guide - a lady called Roya (pronunciation not spelling) was fantastic. The only thing that I would say is that I would have liked more time in Delphi and less time in Arachova.

Amazing site, and wonderful host - Amazing experience! We loved visiting Delphi and Arachova but the highlights were our incredible tour guide/archaeologist Angelina and the seamless, well-thought out itinerary. With Angelina's expertise and sense of humor, as well as the mindful planning of driving from a starting point with low traffic leaving Athens, and ending our tour in scenic Arachova, we had a wonderful time. Don't miss this tour!

Pay attention ⚠️ to the fine print - Over all the trip was great. The issue is READ THE SMALL PRINT. This trip is for a company to drive you to & from Delphi. When You arrive you have to pay an additional 12 per person for the Delphi museum. You pay $110 for a ride and a archeologist to describe Greek mythology to you about the greek mythys. She DOES NOT COME INSIDE the museum TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING. She is pleasant but for the money paid you could choose a delphi museum tour that Includes this and lunch with a ride up the money.
