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.

Well-organized trip with a guide who knew his subject perfectly and an experienced driver. Very well organized by the agency.

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

Our tour guide Dimitrios had a lot of experience and told us a lot about the local myths and history. Great place to lunch and beautiful landscapes!

Dimitros was our tour guide; he was fantastic! He gave such personality and life to all the history, and was super engaging. Very kind, clear, easy to talk to and a joy to listen to. Seriously can't praise him enough!
