Before you return to Athens, at the beautiful mountain village of Arachova, situated on the hills of the Parnassus Mountains, you can stretch your legs as you explore this stone build small village with the picturesque square. If you like, grab a coffee, a wine, a tea or one of the best homemade traditional ice creams.
Giorgos, our driver, was excellent. He was very attentive to our needs and was extremely friendly. Delphi was fabulous, both the ruins and the museum. We had lunch at wonderful restaurant in Delphi, “To Patriko Mas.” The food was delicious and the service was magnificent. Also a breathtaking view.
Our driver, Mr. George, was a wonderful, knowledgeable, and entertaining conversationalist who made the lengthy drive a delight. The Delphi site and museum are well worth seeing.
Well run tour with Melina, our host for the day. She was amazing and fully prepped us with the history and mythology for this site. Lunch was excellent and at a breathtaking restaurant with a view. Highly recommend to anyone considering this activity.
We really wanted to see Delphi even though it was many hours in the car round trip from Athens. Our driver, Nathan, was a good driver, charming, and very personable. He was great. After the tour, we had a lovely lunch overlooking beautiful hills.
Melina our guide was an amazing and book of historical knowledge and gracious host for the day. The site was beautiful and so enlightening with historical and mythological relevance. On the ride, Melina’s story telling of the myths and history made the experience for us! The lunch with a view was a great finish to a great day trip before ride back to Athens!
I highly recommend this tour using Crispy Local. Delphi was unbelievable. The museum is a must as well. Our tour guide, George, was incredible. He is full of wisdom and made the tour even more amazing. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. The view and the food are world class. I can’t say enough good things about it the experience!
We had a great trip to Delphi . The auto was spotless and our driver Yiannis was excellent and provided a lot of information about the area during the drive. The restaurant was exceptional. Definitely recommend.
Our trip was wonderful! From the time Dimitris picked us up at our hotel until the time he took us back, he was professional, informative, courteous, and friendly. He told us much about Delphi & Greece, and answered all of our questions. Having private transportation was convenient & comfortable. Delphi was great - so was our included lunch and stop in Arachova, as well as our travel with Dimitris. Highly recommend!
The experience was great! Mr George is a very knowledgeable and pleasant guide. He recommended a stop to the archaeological museum of Thebes which was amazing and gave us extra water when dropping us off at Delphi. Didn’t do lunch because we had spent so much time in Thebes and then died on the climb at Delphi, lol. Overall, it was great! Highly recommend!! (George did give a neighborhood restaurant recommendation for dinner)
A great trip to an incredible archaeological site and museum. Having a driver was so much easier than renting a car and he recommended a great local taverna for lunch.
George was our driver for our trip to Delphi. More than just a driver, he introduced us to the Greek countryside and the history of the areas we passed through on our way to Delphi. Our private Guide at the site was very knowledgeable and it was a great tour of the archaeological area. Our lunch overlooking the ocean with a great view was very tasty, fresh and local. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in the archaeological site and all the history that goes with it.

We were greeted, at our hotel, by Mr George, who was right on time!!!!! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Athens a s its surrounding areas. We went to Delphi and spent in the museum and walking the grounds. It was fabulous and, when in the mountains, it is a whole other world!!!!! The entrance fee is $21 for both. Very reasonable. Finally we went to a restaurant that Mr George recommended it did not disappoint!!!!! We were seated on a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the sea.. Just as promised!!!!!!! This was a perfect way to begin our Greek vacation!!!!!!!
Very nice tour. I would recommend it to anyone. Delphi is 2 12 hours each way from Athens. Be prepared…you have to climb a very steep hill with lots of steps as you visit this site.
This was a very nice tour. It was a pretty long 2 1/2 hour drive each way, but we were comfortable in our Mercedes car. Our driver Giorgos was very friendly and shared a lot of interesting information about Delphi and about Greece. The tour of Delphi involved a lot of stair climbing…be prepared! We recommend seeing the museum before you climb the hill to see the archeological sights.
Our trip to Delphi was wonderful. Giorgos, our driver, was excellent in every way. He communicated with us before he arrived to pick us up, he was very prompt, he was a safe driver and we learned many things from him along the way. He gave great directions regarding where to buy tickets, seeing the Museum and archeological site, and where to meet him afterward. Lunch was delicious and the views from the restaurant were gorgeous. It was a perfect day.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely fantastic time was picked up on time delivered to the archaeological site. Afterwards was taken to a fantastic restaurant overlooking the valley. Food choices were fantastic and then returned back to the hotel as promised.
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!
The service is amazing! Anthony is very nice and knowledgeable. This is the second time we traveled with this company, and we had a great trip!
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!
Spent a wonderful day in the countryside during our stay in Athens. Anthony, our guide was great, was informative about Delphi, and was full of information about the area. Lunch was delicious and view was amazing. We highly recommend.
Wonderful trip into the countryside from Athens. Delphi is such a beautiful location . Our guide Anthony was a great host and very informative.
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.
This tour fit our needs and expectations perfectly. It is truly private, just us in the vehicle. Even though the driver is not officially a tour guide for the Delphi site (and is not advertised as such, anyway) he was very knowledgeable and gave us tons of interesting information and valuable tips for our visit and the area. Lunch was included at a wonderful place in the village. Delicious food with a breathtaking view of the mountains and the valley below. It was worth every penny. We also got a very good impression of the company running these tours. Excellent customer service and attention to detail.
We had a wonderful experience at Delphi archeological site and museum. Melina who took us there was very knowledgeable about Greek history and mythology. She had explained a lot of it on the way to Delphi. The lunch at a restaurant in Delphi was delicious. We had tasty local Greek dishes while also enjoying a beautiful view
Beautiful drive up. Beautiful views, great restaurant with great food and great views in a charming little town. Great museum.
The trip was amazing. Melina was an outstanding guide. She described everything we were going to see at Delphi and gave us in depth knowledge of the various artifacts and their meaning. As we saw the site in real life it made such a great understanding. It was a wonderful day trip and Delphi is just wonderful to visit!
Nathan was our driver for the Delphi trip and he was great - communicated well beforehand, turned up on time, and we had great conversations with him all through the day. And Delphi is so worth visiting! There is a lot to see and a lot of history and mythology associated with the site. The scenery around is beautiful, and Nathan choose a fantastic place for lunch afterwards. A very highly recommended day out!
Melina, our driver really made the experience for us. She knew everything about what we were about to see and explained it to us on the way there. Really enhanced our experience once we got. She was on-tme and super friendly and I would absolutely recommend this trip.
On the two hour drive from Athens to Delphi, the scenery was amazing. The driver provided lots of interesting information on Greece and local area. The trip included lunch at a great authentic Greek restaurant overlooking a lush valley of olive trees and the sea.
Excellent trip from Athens to Delphi. Got to see exactly what we were interested in and the restaurant that was packaged with our tour was amazing with an incredible view! Thank you to Nathan for a great trip!!!
After one cancellation we were able to rebook this tour for more money but then the day before the Driver—Crispy Local—asked for more money in cash even though drop-off was already arranged. Total crook we wouldn’t get in the car. Now we are trying to get VISA to reverse charge after 3 terrible attempts by Viator Customer service. Do not recommend any private Viator tour in Greece! You’ll be sorry. We saw a similar review and thought it would be okay, but NO!!
Private tour with driver and guide perfectly organized From the planning to the end of tour all was tailored based our needs Driver and his car top...perfectly on time and top service Guide with oustanding preparation and quite mother language I really suggest this tour agency if you are searching for quality and professionalism Price aligned with service
Delphi is for the history buffs, the fact that we are witnessing a place which was alive and bustling with activities, 2500 years ago
Anthony was a great tour guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. He gave us enough time at the different stops and points of interest to look around. He picked a great lunch place with a gorgeous view. Next time we’re in Greece, we will use Crispy Local for our private tour needs. Excellent price for an exceptional tour experience!
We had a wonderful trip to Delphi with Melina. She was very knowledgeable, full of interesting stories, and very passionate about the history, mythology, and beyond. As a teacher you could sense her enthusiasm in wanting people learn all about the historical significance of such an incredible place. She was lovely to be with and accommodating in every way. The drive there and back was comfortable and enriching. Thanks.
What a day visiting Delphi from Athens. Thank you Crispy Local. Ioannis met us at our hotel at 8AM, in his brand new Mercedes, and we went there and back, returning at 4PM. At the Delphi Museum and ruins, Ioannis had selected a great guide who provided a really informative tour, covering the many centuries of ancient Roman Delphi inhabitants. In fact, she was an archeologist, currently working on the Acropolis, also with a PHD. We learned so much from her, and also during the drive to/from from him. After visiting two ancient ruins we stopped, at Ioannis' suggestion, for a great meal in the town of Delphi, sitting outside and overlooking an unbelievable vista. The Greek food in the restaurant he chose was so good; some of the best we've had on our trip. We're now even more excited for our trip to Meteora with Ioannis and Crispy Local on Friday! Highly recommended.
Our trip with Giorgos to Delphi was wonderful. Giorgos was a very safe driver and also gave us wonderful information about Delphi on our drive there. Our guide in Delphi was Georgia. She was very informative and gave us great tours of the museum and the archaeological site. After visiting the site, Giorgos took us to a restaurant in the village of Delphi, which was owned by friends of his family. The food was delicious, and we had beautiful views of the mountains, valleys and Gulf of Corinth. We would had great experiences on our tours to Delphi and to Meteora with Crispy Local!
Nice drive to Delphi George Hantzos made a difference. Rainy but made the most of it. He pointed out lots of facts along the way. Stopped for a break each way. Had lunch at a nice restaurant. Hopefully you get George on your trip.
We had a great time. It was was very educational, and we had some activity as well. Melina was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with interesting information and stories about Greek history. In addition, the restaurant we had lunch at had an amazing view and wonderful food.
What a great trip! Our tour guide, George, was so knowledgeable and friendly and provided so much information for us on our way to Delphi to see the Oracle and Temple of Apollo. We even stopped at Arachova which is the skiing resort for Greece. Beautiful area to visit! If visiting Delphi is on your list, I would recommend this tour through Crispy Local and ask for George.
What an amazing experience! We travelled into antiquity with the amazing historical overview and discussion with Melina, our amazing guide from Athens to Delphi and back. She made the drives a breeze with lively conversation and in-depth knowledge to help us understand the historical context, cultures, and language of ancient Greece. Then at Delphi, we had another amazing guide, Georgia, take us through the museum and the archeological site. She was also fantastic - as she led us through we learned about what we were seeing and experiencing, bringing life to the marble and brass sculptures and ruins with stories and descriptions. I would also be remiss to not mention the amazing lunch we had overlooking the entire valley and out to the Corinthian Gulf. Even our 8 year old daughter loved the experience. Both Melina and Georgia did an amazing job at including her and making her feel she was part of the journey and conversations.
We had a wonderful visit to Delphi. Melina was very kind and knowledgable. She explained many things about the history of Greece and about Delphi and the Delphi site itself. She took us to an excellent restaurant with an amazing view after visiting the museum and site. It was a really enjoyable tour. Melina surprised us with lovely gifts from Greece at the end of the tour. Thank you for a lovely day!
Amazing tour. Our driver, Giorgos, was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable, chose a beautiful restaurant for lunch, was very flexible and overall the trip was worth every penny! Would hire him again/recommend him to anyone visiting the area.
Giorgos was a fantastic guide! Private comfortable car with pickup and dropoff at hotel, plenty of time to explore ancient Delphi and the museum, a totally delicious lunch overlooking the sea, then a lovely stroll through a picturesque Greek village on the way back to Athens. Really the perfect first day in Greece. Thanks!!
Perfect day from start to finish! Giorgos picked us up near our hotel with hot tea and breakfast pastries, then entertained and educated us with fascinating commentary from ancient to contemporary Greece on the scenic and air conditioned drive to Delphi. He was very flexible about plans and let us enjoy a leisurely visit at the museum and archaeological site, then shuttled us to the perfect nearby taverna for lunch. Overlooking the Gulf of Corinth, no less. Afterwards, we had time for a relaxed stroll through the gorgeous streets of Arachova on the way home. We truly had a lovely day, learned a lot, and ate some delicious Greek food. Thank you, Giorgos and Crispy Local tours!!!
Our trip with Mr. George was absolutely fantastic! The private trip to Delphi is much more than an amazing historical experience - like a short ride to the Alps, felt like we were cheating geography. The view from our lunch was breathtaking enough for a round-trip flight of its own. Don’t miss this!
