Athens: Mythology of Delphi, Museum and Arachova Guided Tour

2.Mythology of Delphi, Museum and Arachova Guided Tour

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

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 ...”

“I am on a solo trip in Greece and while I managed to hang out with a friend here for a bit, we both had very different ideas of how we wanted to spend our time. This tour was perfect for me. We met at the office at 11:30 which was close to my hotel and the Acropolis and walked over together. Aidli was exceptionally knowledgeable about so many of the ruins and pointed out things I would have missed had I gone on my own. She was willing to take photos for us and ensured we were all safe and having a good time. I would do this again.”

“Thank you very much for the tour. Irene was a very lively and engaging guide, ready to answer all sorts of questions. I chose this tour because I didn't want to look things up myself, and it was very nice to simply be told and explained things by a professional who clearly loves what they do. You can also stay longer and wander around the museum, after the tour is over. But overall, I think the time is calculated just right.”

“Panyioti, our tour guide, was thoughtful, kind, informative and knowledgeable. Panyioti gave us very detailed information in a digestible style through an earpiece so he was easy to hear. You could learn as much or as little as you wish. Hopefully the earpiece was only one way ;) it must have been because I tested it and Panyioti didn't appear to react lol. Panyioti advocated for us when I didn't want to surrender my backpack to the museum cloakroom (due to valuables). He cared about each and every person on the tour and was kind and accommodating. The only downside was the unbearable heat and limited spots to sit during…”
