Additional Information

Meet the center of the World! Delphi, the greatest Oracle ever!!! The most passionate drivers offer you a time lapse into Ancient Greek History. Ancient Greeks believed that Delphi was the Navel of the Earth, a spiritual focal point for all Greeks. It included many sanctuaries and the most prestigious oracle in all of ancient Greece. This is where Pythia, the high priestess, conveyed the divine advice of god Apollo to mortals who traveled from across the world to seek a prophecy. Besides Greeks, the Oracle was also visited by foreign leaders and dignitaries who were eager to know Apollo’s will on important state affairs. Just a stone’s throw from the archaeological site, you can visit present-day Delphi town, situated at the foot of Mt. Parnassus. This ancient Greek sacred place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a long history and beautiful natural surroundings, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Great way to see Delfi! - Eirini was great! She picked us up for our drive to Delfi. She told us about what we’d be seeing. It was also fun to chat with her in general. Car was clean and comfortable. We had lunch at a restaurant with a great view in Delfi. So glad I booked this excursion out of the city! Highly recommend.

Great tour to Delphi with George. - George took us to Delphi and it was a great trip! I was a bit "iffy" in not having a tour guide, but George made sure to tell us all about Greek history and we didn't need a guide. We had George! It was a great trip! Honestly, I didn't even feel the +2hrs drive to Delphi. My only issue is that I should have book more tours with him. :D Well... that will be next time for sure. Thank you George.

Amazing Delphi - Manos our driver was very well versed in local and Greek history, and very entertaining. . He took us to a beautiful monastery on the way to Delphi and he was very helpful at all times. The vehicle was clean and perfect. Delphi was spectacular, such a beautiful place.

Great trip - I decided to book the private tour to Delphi because I was traveling with my 11yr daughter. I wanted to make sure that we avoided crowds and that we have enough time to fully enjoy the majestic sights. Our experience was excellent. Our driver, Mr. Manos, was professional, warm, and knowledgeable. He made us feel welcome to Athens and he made a special effort to communicate historical information in a way that my daughter could follow. Both thumbs up. Delphi is majestic, however, if you are considering the trip, make sure to keep the monastery in the itinerary, it is also breathtakingly beautiful!
