The incredible views and the awesome hiking. We had a fantastic tour guide, as well. Definitely worth it! Do not need to purchase the ticket with it, however. It is much cheaper to just buy a ticket for the bus and get the ticket to the site there

A long and hot day again but wow Delphi was so worth the experience. Such a knowledgeable tour guide and safe driver for 6 hrs of being on the bus. My food was nice but my husband really enjoyed some new flavors today which was our second long day. The site and museum was breathtaking and so worth the journey.

The bad part was that it was a long tour to Delphi from Athens (not much to do about that), but the guide gave the history of Delphi on the way there as well as explained what we saw on the way there and mentioned the history of the areas we passed. This was both interesting and a good way to pass the time. At the site and the museum tour she had good knowledge of the area and also showed picture of how it could have looked when it was in active use.

Visit the UNESCO-listed archaeological site of Delphi, a city once considered “the centre of the world” in ancient Greece. Board comfortable coaches from your hotel and make your way to this world-famous historic site while taking in the sites around you. This ride lasts close to 3.5 hours, during which you'll see the plain of Beotia, the city of Theva, and many other archaeological gems!

Once at the Delphi archaeological site, take a gander at famous monuments like the monument of the Argive Kings, the treasury of the Athenians, the Athenian Stoa, and the Polygonal Wall. Your guided tour at the Delphi site will last about 45 minutes, after which you'll have another 45 minutes to tour the site on your own.

Continue on to Delphi Museum, a place that houses stunning exhibits like the frieze of the Treasury of the Sifnians, the Naxian Sphinx, and the famous bronze Charioteer! You'll be here for 45 minutes, post which you'll head towards the Athena Pronaia Sanctuary, an ideal photoshoot location.
