Excellent guide, well worth the trip! - Excellent guide, well worth the trip! Guide was knowledgeable, engaging, efficient and well-organized, driver was excellent - archeological site was awe-inspiring, museum was also very nice, although a guide of another group was incredibly rude - most of the guides, including ours, were clearly working to keep their groups moving in a fluid and courteous fashion without obstructing each other. One guide, leading a Spanish-speaking group, was disregarding this protocol and barging through other groups rudely. He also happened to be the only male guide... Coincidence? I think not.

Delphi,The Place - Our guide Dora was awesome from the very best. She gave an overview of different periods of Greece history. Upon arrival in Delphi story continued with so many names and facts.And of course The Place. You gotta see it,because it is impossible to describe it with right words. Thank Dora, Viator and driver of the bus (sorry,forgot his name). Irina and Eugene

A long day but worth it! - The coach left bang on time and the trip was as described. The sites were fascinating and the museum is excellent. Unfortunately it felt like we didn't have enough time at any of the places of interest. It is a very long day, we left at 08.30 and got back at 19.15. There wasn't a toilet on the coach which may be an issue for some.

Day trip to the center of the world - Great day trip to the center of the world. The tour guide was fun and knowledgeable! This tour is mostly focused on being lead through the sites and the museum with little downtime to explore on your own, keep that in mind as you’re planning if your someone who prefers a lot of free time. Lunch was fantastic and we did lil stops for shops and views afterward. Great day trip!

Almost excellent but less time. - Such a wonderful day trip to beautiful Delfi and nearby towns however time needs to be allocated a lite better. Bus journey was super comfortable. It was a luxury coach with super cold air conditioning which was perfect for the hot day time. Maria was an excellent tour guide (GO Tours) as she was very knowledgeable and kept giving us info along the whole trip. Site of Apollo was beautiful but it was big. We had just 30 minutes to ourselves which was not enough considering you have to walk up and down carefully on the path. There are many historical relics to view and due to limited time we missed the Stadium. The Delfi Museum was absolutely beautiful but again due to limited time we didn't get a chance to roam ourselves. Lunch was delicious and the views around the hilltop restaurant are not to be missed If the time can be managed a bit better by the tour company, it would be a five star experience.

The trip was built as... - The trip was built as English-speaking but when we arrived, the turkey said this is a bilingual English French. The turkey spoke excellent French, but very accented English and difficult to understand. Also, she spoke just one sentence in English and then repeated it in French and then said another sentence in English and repeated it in French. It was very difficult to follow until she completed her story. She should've told the story in English and then completely in French. This also delayed everything because she had a repeat twice, you should say that the trip might be bilingual and not advertise it as English. The trip was over 11 hours and not 10 hours as said on your website

Very bad experience - The worst experience ever! No one contacted me, no refund, they just steel my money for the tour and no emergency contact. No notification at the day before. During the day of the tour all the telephones are turned off, so we can not reach anyone …. Even to ask if I can join the next stop (because I didn’t find the spot and the guide). I just received the answer in the lunch time “no refund” - very fair ))) No offering to reschedule, no call, nothing! No client orientation Please select the other company if you don’t want them just to steal your money!! And I’m reading the reviews… I’m not the only one! Companies like this just spoil the reputation of Greek hospitality! Thank you for the spoiled day, enjoy my money that you are not deserving.

Disappointing and Poorly Managed Tour - As an experienced traveler, I can confidently say that this was one of the worst tours I've ever been on. Despite being operated by a large company, the tour was disorganised and inefficient. It took two hours just to pick up everyone, as the company combined at least three different tours into one bus. After being picked up at 7:30 AM, we didn’t leave Athens until 9:34 AM, which I monitored due to growing frustration. Combining multiple tours like this not only caused delays but also led to unnecessary confusion and frustration among the guests. One of the most frustrating aspects was the unnecessary 20-minute stop at a ski resort in Arachova, in front of a store, which stretched to 30 minutes. It was clear this was a commission-driven detour, adding no value to the Delphi tour. This irrelevant stop detracted from the historical focus of the tour and wasted valuable time. What does a ski resort have to do with Delphi? Anyone with a brain would recognise that this stop was entirely out of place. When we finally reached Delphi, we were only allotted about 2.5 hours to explore both the ruins and the museum with the tourguide, which is far from adequate. This even included waiting for 15 minutes at the museum for other people to arrive. As someone with a deep passion for ancient history and Greek mythology, I was incredibly disappointed by the rushed pace. Delphi is a significant site—larger and more immersive than even the Acropolis—yet we were not given nearly enough time to fully appreciate its historical significance. I would strongly recommend that the company reevaluate how they structure these tours. Combining multiple tours into one bus creates unnecessary delays and confusion, and irrelevant stops like the one at Arachova should be eliminated. Most importantly, more time should be allocated to Delphi itself, as it is a major historical site that deserves more than just a brief visit. Overall, the poor organisation, irrelevant stops, and insufficient time at Delphi significantly detracted from the experience. I would not recommend this tour to anyone serious about exploring Greece’s rich historical heritage. Even if you're not passionate about history, you'll leave feeling disappointed and shortchanged.
