My wife and I had a wonderful tour to and of Delphi. The director and the driver were wonderful and the director was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day perfect. John MacLachlan and Joan McCracken
It was a very nice trip. The scenery is wonderful.The site is very good and it is just relaxing to sit in the bus waiting for the next location. The small trek at Delphi was very enjoyable.
We really enjoyed this tour plus our guide.
We wish we would of had more time though,
we pretty much ran through the museum.
Delphi is very beautiful, we loved seeing the mountains and getting out of the city.
Our trip to Delphi was excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and expressed herself clearly and with a sense of humor. We came away with a solid sense of the importance of this temple, how the oracle explained the future, and a real appreciation for this ancient site.
In addition, she was able to answer all of our questions regarding Greece in general, such as questions about the economy, the dogs of Athens, history , and literature.
Our drive, too, was very careful and professional on the winding mountainous roads.
This tour was a winner!
It was an amazing trip and we had an excellent guide. I should recommend it to everyone.
Still, I guess I'm a little demanding. Compared to other comparable viator trips, I didn't like that we did not stop at beautiful places or old villages, just to enjoy the view, to print it in your memories forever, ten to fifteen minutes could have been enough. The lunch should have been in a local restaurant, not a big hotel. The two stops we had on our way to Delphi were next to the highway, that was a little disappointing too. But those are little imperfections, the overall trip was fantastic.
I enjoyed the pace of the tour. Learned a lot from the tour guide that I would else wise not know about Delphi and Greece.
This was an excellent tour covering all the most important Greek historical locations. Our guide, 'George' (a qualified archaeologist and tour guide), was excellent. He looked after us very well and gave us all the information we needed. Accommodation at the 3 Amalia Hotels we stayed at in Napflion, Delphi and Kalambaka was satisfactory, though of a lower standard than expected. The hotels were large with very nice common areas but slightly tired rooms that needed refurbishment. And we paid extra for first class, rather than tourist class hotel accommodation. Maybe we only got tourist class hotel rooms, because lower class rooms than the ones we had would have been unacceptable? The hotels were all a fair way out of town. This was ok for the conducted tour, but would have been a problem for independent travellers who wanted to spend time in the towns. Overall, an excellent tour, with only the hotel room quality dropping the rating from 5 to 4 stars.
Good chilled out journey to Delphi. Its quite far but i enjoyed the company of the people who joined the trip. Lunch at hotel Amalia is a very good place to unwind after the long journey. Maybe worth a stay over the evening as the view is stunning.
The Delphi Day Trip was amazing! It's an all-day trip so go prepared, i.e. proper walking shoes, camera, etc. Our guide, Giorgios, was quite knowledgable and answered every question I had with ease. He also spoke like 5 different languages as well! He gave the group much history on the ruins and on overall Greek culture/lifestyle. I later found out through the gameshow "Jeopardy" upon my return home, that Delphi was once the center of Western civilization! I highly recommend this trip. "Efkaristo" (Thanks) to everyone in Greece!
this tour is well worth doing but our guide didn't seem too interested! she spoke the entire way from athens on the bus but as soon as we arrived in delphi she told us about the temple of apollo and then she then sent us on our way to the ancient running track and said she'd meet us in 30 mins at the museum!!!! don't think she wanted to walk up the hill! maybe she was having a bad day .... but we paid for a whole day guided tour!
The tour was okay. It was a long trip for very little time at the site and musuem. Some of the other Delphi travel tours had stops at the small towns near the Delphi site. I was disappointed that this tour didn't stop to see a greece town out in the country. The tour guide was good. The tour lunch was at a hotel near the town, so we walked to a restaurant within town to eat lunch, which was nice to get a break from the tour group.
The pickup service was good and the guide was very good. The stopping point going to and from had no healthy options. The lunch was in a pleasant hotel Amelia location near Delphi and the food and servers did there best to please everyone but it seemed very complicated with paid and unpaid customers and vegan options and regular options. I am vegan and seems as soon as you take out meat,dairy,eggs then they serve me pasta which I don't eat that either. I think it may simplify things to have a small buffet line or have special diets preorder off a menu and pay direct at the cafe. I would have done the later if I knew it was an option.
In spite of pouring rain, our trip to Delphi was great. We could not have asked for a better tour guide: she was very knowledgeable and articulate, and because of the weather, she demonstrated her flexibility. The hotel pickup and drop off worked very well, too. Will definitely use CHAT and Viatour again.
Excellent guide, coach, hotels and locations. So many people do Athens and the Greek Islands and miss out on the rest of Greece, and we can't recommend enough this trip to see some lovely country side as well as amazing history in just 3 days. The magnificent view from the hotel in Delphi was an added bonus. Not one complaint.
Well worth the time and money. We only had one extra day in Athens and I decided on Delphi over Corinth/Mycenae on the advice of several friends who had been to both. Our guide was fantastic and provided a lot of information in an enjoyable format. The site, and particularly the museum, were crowded due to the cruise ship groups but she made the best of it. My only suggestion would be to do the museum first when the cruise ship tours are there as the museum is VERY small and it got quite crowded.
