Worth it! Super day which was very well organized and hosted - Superb coach trip through the Greek countryside with a very good guide. Great experience at the temple. The journey stops were at clean efficient places with a five stars for the lunch venue which was great. We didn’t go for the included meal and had brilliant choices from their menu. Perfect day. Thank you

Informational Experience - My cousin and I took this tour organized by Key Tours. Domnique was the guide who accompanied us on this 12 hour trip. She was very knowledgeable and was able to provide a lot of history on Greek Mythology which was relatable to the sites we saw. I would recommend this trip to tourists

A rather worldwind tour - The lovely setting of Delphi and the tour up into the hills gave a very different sense of Greece than the islands.

Delfi med my daughter - Sharing the trip to legendary Delfi with my daughter, very interested in ancient mythology, was the best part. I really enjoyed the visceral experience walking up the path in the temple area.

Well worthwhile trip - The day tour was a long day - 8am to 7pm (with a bit too long stops at cafes/lunch) - but Delphi was a fantastic experience. The weather was colder than Athens so take warmer clothes. The Key Tours guide Marianna was excellent. She was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.

A very positive experience - I was picked up for the tour from my hotel without any problems. The guide was very informative and knew much about the structures at Delphi. I was glad that I went. The lunch was tasty and the venue for lunch was very good too. Overall a very positive experience.

An OK day trip that could be much better - The pickup was on-time. Our tour guide (May 11, 2024) was knowledgeable and speaks good English. The reasons we give 3 stars are: 1) The planning was not very good: we had plenty of time, but the Temple of Athena was NOT included (a free site). 2) The selection of the restaurant was BAD. The owner intentionally tried to overcharge us. So, when we found the bill we paid was more than what we had and asked an itemized receipt in addition to our credit card receipt, he still printed a bill that had only the amount charged printed, no other details. Even when he tried to explain to us, he raised the prices for individual items to make it up.

The experience was... - The experience was overall pretty good, the drive was a bit long, but the views of Delphi are stunning and guide did a good job as well. However, we had an incident during the lunch which I find unacceptable and concerning - during lunch my partner was served food with pieces of porcelain (apparently, from a broken plate in the kitchen). Luckily, my partner felt it in the mouth before chewing/swallowing, so it did not cause any harm. However, thought that simple day trip to Delphi could end up with broken teeth(if you chew on solid piece of porcelain), or visit to ER if my partner had swallowed the piece of porcelain is extremely concerning. I understand that lunch is not provided by the tour company, but as a customer you also have no choice in where to eat either - during the tour they drive you to a partnering restaurant in a remote location, regardless of whether you pre-pay for lunch or not, you will have to eat in that restaurant (or not have lunch at all). Since there is partnership between restaurant and tour, and given the severity of the situation, I hope the tour company will reach out to restaurant to ensure safety of their customers
