The 15 Best Delphi Day Trips from Athens

166 tours  ·  from $8 a head

Delphi is a two and a half hour run each way, which makes the coach as much of the decision as the site. These 15 sort the full-day trips, the small-group runs and the ones that add Arachova or Osios Loukas, with prices, pickup points and how long you actually get on the Sacred Way.

Athens: Mythology of Delphi, Museum and Arachova Guided Tour

1.Mythology of Delphi, Museum and Arachova Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,008 reviews · from $31Our pick

Review of the Athens to Delphi tour with Apollo’s Temple, Delphi Museum, Arachova, guided commentary, transport, and practical booking tips.

“We had an unforgettable day tour to Delphi, guided by the exceptional Michael. His deep knowledge of Greek mythology brought the ancient ruins to life, and his engaging storytelling, coupled with a great sense of humour, made the journey both educational and entertaining. At the archaeological site and museum, we appreciated the relaxed pace—never feeling rushed—and had ample free time to explore, including a rewarding walk up to the amphitheatre. The stop in Arachova was a delightful bonus, offering us the chance to wander through this charming mountain village. Michael's passion for history and his personable approach truly enhanced our experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to ...”

“Our guide, Marianna was excellent! She knew the history and culture. She would tell us the stories of ancient times related to these areas. The bus driver Theodore drove with caution and experience. He checked traffic and changed course for the return trip to Athens. The stop at Delphi was perfect. Marianna took us through most of it then we had free time to explore or go to the Museum. The lunch restaurant the first day was wonderful and organized. The hotel was nice along with the provided dinner and breakfast buffets. The restaurant for the lunch stop for the return was terrible. The food was not very good and…”

“This was a spectacular experience! Both the driver and guide (Spiro and Emilia) were absolute professionals - experienced, friendly, fully prepared and organized, and they worked very well together. I always felt we were in capable hands, and I think Emilia must be a professional historian because her knowledge was extensive and she presented the material in very clear English. Both she and Spiro were attentive to any special needs and very conscientious in keeping track of us. It was a small group so we had a mini-coach - very comfortable and clean and smooth riding. The 3 hotels were all in the Amalia chain and I liked them very…”

“Delphi was a fascinating site to explore. It’s full of rich and complex history and the museum exhibits helped illuminate some of that. We went in reverse order — museum first then the site. The museum text panels were informative and helped explain what we then saw. But it was challenging going through the museum among all the tour groups. We entered the site at 4, so it was still hot but there was shade to be found — and way fewer people. The light was lovely too as we stayed till closing in order to get up to the stadium. Wish we’d had time to go across the road…”

“We enjoyed our tour with Catarina as our lovely guide on the way up to Delphi and Evi taking over at the ruins/museum — both were knowledgeable and very pleasant and engaging. The tour itself is well-planned and executed; would definitely recommend to others. Delphi is an outstanding experience and the travel there is through the beautiful countryside with an experienced driver. We were lucky enough to have snow through the village of Arachova and sun on the Delphi hillside. Don’t hesitate to book the tour — it’s like going on a tour with guides that become like family.”
