A royal experience - Although I have been to many ruins, this one was special. I did not realize how important Delphi was globally and what people had to go through to get there. Our driver, Theo, was so knowledgeable and had a wonderful pride for his countries’s history. This brought everything to life. I would recommend that you go to the museum first, it doesn’t take long and it really helps understand what you’re seeing at the site. The restaurant that Theo picked for us had good food, wine, and amazing views. I would recommend the dry rosé, it was very much like an orange wine. Two more recommendations. First, it’s a very long day so I wouldn’t plan anything big for night that you take the tour. Also, some of the terrain is a bit difficult so good walking shoes are very important. Theo treated us like royalty. I highly recommend this tour.

Ruins come to life! - At 72, I have seen a lot of ruins. This was different. Theo’s knowledge and pride in his country’s heritage brought everything to life. On top of that, the restaurant he picked for us had really good food, wine, and views. ( I would recommend the dry rose, it’s almost like an orange wine). Though out the entire trip, he made us feel very special. I can highly recommend this tour with Theo. It is a very full day. Some of the terrain was a little difficult, so wear good walking shoes.

Magical Delphi - Our guide, Melina, was outstanding! She gave us great information on the ride to Delphi so we could enjoy our visit to the ruins and museum upon arrival (not included in the price of this tour). We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the town of Delphi overlooking the Bay of Corinth, a spectacular view and really delicious authentic Greek food. 😍 The scenery along the ride to and from was great .It was a long day which I thoroughly enjoyed! Many thanks to Melina for here knowledgeable guidance and great company.

Great Company! Great Guide/Driver! - Outstanding day with Melina of Crispy Local. They helped plan our day in advance and we created the perfect plan. Melina, the driver, was wonderful, and really made the day for us! Melina has a vast knowledge of Greek and WORLD history. We are so lucky to have learned so much about Greece, past and present from her. Amazing individual. Attention to detail, comfort and safety in a comfortable SUV. We arranged to see Manastaries of Dafni and Osios Lukas then Delphi. Melina prepped us for the Delphi site and museum with a detailed mental map to help us negotiate the crowds and not miss any important exhibits. I can say, as a seasoned traveller, Crispy Local and Melina are THE tour company to use for all of your Athens explorations. Thank you for a job above and beyond!

Amazing trip to Delphi! - I booked a private trip to Delphi for the day for two people from Athens - it was fabulous from start to finish and worth every penny. If you are considering booking, book!! Delphi is not to be missed. Nathan was our driver for the day and he was incredible - such a lovely man with so much knowledge. We loved all of the information he gave us. We were picked up in a luxury air conditioned car and the journey flew by. We had a lovely tour guide included when we arrived in Delphi who gave us a private tour of the museum and the archeological site. She was amazing. We saw all of the huge groups of people and would have missed out on so much if we had not booked the private tour. Nathan booked a wonderful restaurant for us for lunch (also included). When we arrived, we could not believe the view and had the best table in the house. It was a fantastic lunch with as much time as we wanted. Thank you for a great day Nathan. We can’t recommend highly enough!

Great Experience All Around - We used them twice. Once for a private guided family tour of the Acropolis and then again for a private day trip to Delphi. Both were absolutely outstanding and really provided a unique way to experience both sites. Our guide Maria was so knowledgeable about the Acropolis and really tailored the tour for us in a way we would enjoy it. Likewise, our guide for the day trip to Delphi, George, was also outstanding and taught us quite a bit about Florence and the Tuscan region in general on the trips to and from Delphi. Our guide at the Delphi site, Theodore, was also very knowledgeable, and I felt like we had a far better experience because of it. Overall, customer service was great, everybody was on time and friendly, and nothing but good things to say in terms of the experience.
