Highlights
  • Delphi - Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Welcome to the grandeur of Delphi, where nature and ancient ruins blend in an extraordinary way, enhancing the beauty of one another against a setting of mountains, terraces and trees. Located on the slopes of Mount Parnassos, hundreds of feet above the sea, it is easy to see why Delphi was once believed to be the center of the earth.

Before you reach the archaeological site of Delphi and its Museum, a short stop at the traditional picturesque village of Arachova is a must!

Take your chance to lay back and listen to your driver as he ,on the way to your destination, he tells you the fascinating history of the Sanctuary of Apollo, the paved Sacred Way, and the Doric temple of Apollo. Admire the Theatre and the Stadium, used for the main events of the Pythian Festival, located on terraces above the Temple. To the right of the entrance to the Sanctuary is the Kastalian Fountain, where Pythia washed before speaking her prophecies. Across and below the road from the Spring you will find the Marmaria or Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, with the conspicuous building of Tholos.

Before our departure to Athens a lunch can be a good option to complete this unique authentic experience to the countryside of Greece.

A Wonderful Day Trip From Athens - The service picked me up at the hotel. The driver (Ares) and Tour Guide (Effie) were great. it took about 2 hours to Delphi. Many temples and sites to see while there plus we also were able to enter the museum and see ancient artifacts from the site. The lunch stop was wonderful and the food was amazing. On the way home we stopped for 1/2 hour in the tourist town that is a ski resort town in the winter. All in all very good trip.

Delightful Delphi Trip - Our driver was personable. We learned a good bit of history and culture! We booked this tour at the last minute and had a memorable experience. We like the fact that on each private tour we booked, the driver recommended a great local spot for lunch. We felt safe with their driving.

Athens Limo - My family used Athens Limo service this May to get around Athens and to take a full day trip to Delphi. Michael was amazing and waited at the ferry docks for a long time when out boat was delayed. It was so nice to get off the boat and have Michael waiting for us- this made a stressful day better. I would not hesitate to recommend this service.

Awesome Experience - The good reviews are correct, Athen Limo Tours is top-notch. We used them for our transportation and tours, what a great job they did. We took a private day tour of Athens and the Acropolis, a day trip to Delphi, and 1/2 day to Sounion all were wonderful and time well spent. Michael our driver and all the tour guides were charming, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dionisis was very responsive and helpful in setting things up and as changes occurred. You won't go wrong using Athens Limo.

Athens Limo's service was Outstanding! - We booked the Private Day Trip to Delphi as well as several private transfers with Athens Limo. The service was excellent, efficient, friendly, and just exactly what I needed. We booked: transfers from the Athens airport to our hotel in Plaka transfers from our hotel to a ferry in Piraeus transfers from the ferry in Piraeus to our hotel in Zea Marina in Piraeus and the Day Trip to Delphi from Piraeus. All were very reasonably priced, and I think the private transfers and tour were perhaps less expensive that if we had booked through a group tour or transfer provider. The 8 passenger van was comfortable, clean, and excellently driven by Michael. He was ALWAYS exactly where he said he would be at exactly the time he said he would be there. He helped with our luggage, and made sure we got into where we needed to be. He was especially helpful in Piraeus, as that port area is complicated and big. He parked as close as he could, and actually helped carry our luggage and direct us to the proper ferry. Then, he met us at the same ferry two days later and helped again to get our luggage and us to the van. Michael was charming, helpful, and very interesting. He was an excellent guide, even though he was only hired to be the driver. He really enhanced our trip, and his knowledge and ability to share it was outstanding. We enjoyed him very much. The guide in Delphi was also excellent, and was arranged by Athens Limo Tours. He and Michael worked together to arrange drop off and pick up times at the perfect places. Athens Limo was very easy to work with. Dionisis Kokkotos, the proprietor, always responded promptly with answers to my many questions. I cannot imagine a smoother arrangement, and a great price with over the top service. I am especially glad that I decided to hire the transfers to and from the ferry. The cost was well worth it, and we were safe and not confused or lost. We did not have to walk for long ways to find the correct ferry, and I can assure you we would have ended up walking many blocks without Michael's help! We did not have to try and find a taxi or the metro, etc, amongst an area that can be intimidating, and sometimes even dangerous for tourists. Thank you Athens Limo!

Great trip to Delphi - We had a wonderful trip to Delphi with our guide. The ruins and museum were simply remarkable, and it was one of our favorite day trips in Greece. Our guide was highly knowledgeable about the history of the site, as well as other details of both ancient and modern-day Greece. He was very customer-focused and personable, making our full day together a true pleasure.

History comes alive! - During Delphi day trip Aris along with his professionalism, clean vehicle and expert driving, we found the cost for the tour was more than fair for what was provided. We feel like we made a friend and would definitely contact him the next time we visit Greece I highly suggest lunch in the town of Arachova, overlooking the valley.

An experience we and our kids we won’t forget! - Dionisis is absolutely wonderful to work with—every one of our drivers was courteous, prompt, safe, informative, and a wonderful guest along our adventures in Greece—and it was an experience we and our kids we won’t forget. We are so happy to provide a public review for the amazing time Dionisis allowed us to have in Athens! Job well done, great company!
