What you'll do

A visit to Delphi is an excellent day trip to head outside the city and discover the scenic traditional Greek villages and beautiful sceneries Greece has to offer. Your driver will pick you up from Athens, and you will head directly to Delphi. You'll surely have a memorable experience on your drive as you pass by stunning mountains, lush valleys, olive groves, and traditional villages. Your experienced local driver will give insight about the districts you'll be passing through. Once you arrive, you will head to Delphi's archeological site, one of the most important ones in Europe. It's essential to remember that your driver can't accompany you inside the archeological site to provide historical information — only licensed guides are authorized to do so. 

You can view many historical relics at the archeological site, including the Delphi theater, where ancient musical contests were held, the Delphi Stadium perched atop the city, the sacred Temple of Apollo, and of course, the most memorable one, The Oracle of Delphi where the famous oracle Pythia offered her prophecies to many powerful leaders. After walking around the historical site, make your way through Delphi Museum and explore the Delphic sanctuary's stunning artifacts. 

Your driver will now take you to the modern village of Delphi; there, you can continue your day with a relaxed walk through the picturesque streets and get a feel for the local culture. Then your driver will whisk you to a traditional Greek tavern with a stunning view, where you can savor a traditional lunch before your drive back to Athens.

We had a local specialist (not a guide), Marcos, drive us to Delphi. Marcos was great!
It was a self-guided tour at Delphi and the tickets to enter Delphi were also not included.
It was not clear if lunch was included in the price of this part of the trip (it was not)--but we worked this out with kimkim later.
