Athens Super Saver: Athens Sightseeing Tour plus Delphi Day Trip
Athens, Greece
With this Athens Super Saver, combine two best-selling tours for a two-day immersion in Athens and Delphi. See top sights on a half-day tour of Athens, from the Acropolis to Omonia Square. Then take a full-day trip to explore the historic sites of classical Greece at Delphi, considered the center of the earth and the universe in ancient times. Each tour takes place on a separate day, and it’s your choice whether you do the Athens half-day tour on Day 1 and visit Delphi on Day 2, or vice versa. Plus, receive a discount by booking these two tours together!
Athens Half-Day Sightseeing Tour (Morning on Day 1 or Day 2 – your choice):
Your guided half-day tour of Athens combines the city’s historic and modern sights, from central Omonia Square to the changing of the guard in Constitution Square. After taking a drive with your guide past the Panathenian Stadium, site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, travel into the past at Athens’ crowning beauty, the Acropolis.
Tour the Parthenon, Athena Nike temple and beautiful Porch of the Maidens, and learn more about the Acropolis and its ruins at the new Acropolis Museum.
Delphi Day Trip (Day 1 or Day 2 – your choice):
More temples await at the archaeological site of Delphi, dedicated to the worship of Apollo and site of the legendary Delphic oracle in classical times. Leave Athens by air-conditioned coach for the drive to Delphi, stopping briefly to stretch your legs in the town of Levadia, a small central Greek town near legendary Mt Parnassus. Leaving Levadia, continue to the winter-time ski resort town of Arachova on the slopes of Mt Parnassus. While taking a stroll around Arachova, note the traditionally hand-woven flokati rugs for sale in the town’s shops.
Next stop is the famous archaeological site of Delphi, where you’ll take a guided tour of the legendary ruins, first excavated in 1882. Ancient Delphi was the site of a sanctuary to Apollo, and home to the Greek world’s most important oracle, who received prophecies from the gods.
Your tour includes a visit to Delphi’s most important building, the ancient Temple of Apollo, now a poignant collection of pillars and steps, and once housing an eternal flame. Follow the sacred way to the restored Athenian Treasury, a classic temple design with Doric columns.
You’ll also visit the site’s stadium, where musical competitions and the Pythian Games, similar to the games of Olympia, were held every four years; the first games took place here in 776 BC.
While in Delphi, you’ll also visit the site’s archaeological museum, filled with statues of athletes, gold and ivory from the site, along with its famous piece, the bronze statue of a charioteer.
Your tour includes a Greek lunch in the modern-day town of Delphi, which neighbors the archeological site.

This tour was wonderful in a number of ways, most significantly as I was able to book it the night before with the help of Viator customer support and access to the tour operator after another company had cancelled my Delphi Day Tour. Delphi was one of my primary destinations for this trip and I am really grateful to the operator of CHAT Tours for accommodating me for the comfortable 2 day bus tour and also for coordinating a last minute memorable pilgrimage and private tour opportunity with a driver to the Lion of Chaeronea.

The tour each day was about 50 people which was way too large. The guides did not use audio devices so it was hard to hear them and everyone either jostled close to the guide trying to hear, or lost interest and wandered away. The bus each day was completely full, and the seats so close together it was painful, worse than Economy Class on a cheap airline. And finally, on the Delphi trip, we were taken for lunch to the Hotel Amalia, and it was perhaps the most disgusting meal I have ever had. The hostess was a Gorgon who demanded we sit where she arbitrarily placed us without reference to our friends and traveling companions. We were placed at a table for 6, with a Japanese couple and an Italian couple, none of whom spoke English well, but all of whom wanted to practice on us. Every table around us was served first, and in some cases, were getting seconds, before we were served. Every time the Gorgon passed behind me with her tray I got her buttocks against my neck. The food was appalling. Chicken in congealed grease, eggplant swimming in oil, and roasted potatoes that were stone cold. We were never offered drinks other than water, though all other tables were. It was truly awful, and I cannot imagine why you would use this restaurant.

Trips via bus that are longer than two hours require buses with bathrooms onboard or more frequent pit spots. It wasnt fun to have the guide announce over the intercom to all other passengers that we were making an emergency bathroom stop for a single passenger. Another step in the right direction would be improvements on the wi-if service.

Lovely tour and Delphi well worth the trip
Review by: Frank M, February 2017
loved this trip. guides were excellent. views at Delphi are not to be missed.
Review by: Carole H, January 2017
Amazing!!! This is NOT to be missed!! Wonderful experience, easy hotel pick-up with wonderful knowledgeable tour guides.
Review by: Marta H, November 2016
Loved it! I highly recommend you take this trip.
Review by: Chanika P, October 2016
The tour was fantastic and our guide was clearly knowledgeable about the sights and the city in general. I would've loved more time sightseeing though! The time just flew past us in Delphi and in Athens, so if anything, I'd just want the tour to be a little longer to allow us time to take in everything. :
Review by: Paige H, October 2016
I wish I would have saved myself some money and just booked a tour to Delphi and not include the Athens Sightseeing tour. Both trips provide a tour guide that is very knowledgeable of the history of the sites. The difference was that Acropolis and the acropolis museum get way too crowded, and it makes it hard to even listen to what your tour guide is saying. We ended up just leaving the Athens tour to wander around the area ourselves.
Review by: Jens S, September 2016
Great! Would recommend it!
Review by: Amber N E, August 2016
This was our least favorite of the tours we booked through Viator. The day in Delphi was great, but our guide in Athens was long-winded, focused on odd details, and we watched loads of other tourists walk by us to key sights while we were stuck standing there listening. We actually ended up just leaving the group and venturing out on our own to maximize time.
Review by: Irène R, August 2016
Excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour deeply rich in exchange
Review by: Varun K, July 2016
Value for money tour with knowledgeable guides and well thought of itineraries
Review by: Miguel P, June 2016
Superb tour guide.
Review by: Karen S, April 2016
Very informative and enjoyable! Enjoyed the tour of Athens better than Delfi. Joy was especially good as a tour guide!!
Review by: LisaLoo19, March 2016
The guide wasn't as great for our Athens tour as the Delphi tour. However, both tours were enjoyable. I would recommend getting the lunch in Delphi - it was really tasty. Be prepared for a 3 hour ride to Delphi bring an iPod or something, though the guide will give you some tidbits of information along the way.
Review by: Hannah C, February 2016
Such a great experience!! Even though it was a rainy day, it didn't sully the experience of seeing such a beautiful place. The guide did a great job of bringing it all to life.
Review by: Talzy V, September 2015
This was amazing! our Tour guide was hilarious and very informative... We were a group of 4 and she had us amused the entire time.....
Review by: Amy R, September 2015
The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and have a great sense of humor. They work really hard to make the tours great for everyone. The tickets for the Acropolis also work for other tourist attractions like the Temple of Zeus and the Agora. Our Athens experience was wonderful!
Review by: donebar1, August 2015
Excellent tour! The tour guides were very informative and interested in us having a great time. I learned a lot ! One tip is to wear good walking shoes and a hiking stick is useful for the Delphi Day trip. There are a lot of stairs, Still the views are outstanding and well worth the exercise. Highly recommended!
Review by: Rosalind K, July 2015
very enjoyable-covered all the historic items and was well-planned with a great guide each day
Review by: Amy G, June 2015
I went to Greece with my 12 year old son. We had such a great time. The tour guides on both trips were awesome they were friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend these tours.
Review by: czerica.ramirez, June 2015
Very informative. The Delphi part was a bit too short though for such long travel. But the lunch was nice and it was a well organised trip.
Review by: Kenneth B, June 2015
The pace of the tour is just about right to see all the major sights and not feel overly rushed. The guide was well informed and personable. The bus was comfortable and the days ran smoothly for the most part. I would take the tour again with the same group!
Review by: Kathryn B, May 2015
It is always nice to get acquainted with a new city by doing a coach tour to get oriented. The guide was very informative and we felt we saw the highlights and could circle back to explore some places in more depth. Delphi was a great experience. The drive through the countryside was delightful. It gives a sense of the agricultural lifestyle. The archaeological site was fascinating. There is a bit of a hike up to the stadium, so wear comfortable shoes! The museum is terrific 9and air conditioned!.
Review by: daisyhfu, April 2015
It was raining, so the tour guide just pointed out temple of Athens instead of leading us there to walk around. I saw in the past review other guests were allowed to go there. Temple of Apollo was amazing
Review by: erwinavila, March 2015
Fun fun fun! On both activities the guides were great and knew their stuff. I learned a lot both about the Acroplis in Athens and the Delphi site. Make sure you do the City tour early because the ticket you get for Acroplis is good for others sites in the city such as the Roman Agora. The tour company actually call the hotel the day before to confirm pick up time! That's great service!
Review by: Maria Melissa S, October 2014
Our guides answered all our questions and were very knowledgable. Views were WONDERFUL!!!
Review by: Sks1957, October 2014
The tour was enjoyable and the guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot more about the sights we visited than we would have on our own. The downside was the size of the group and the many pick up spots around Athens. We had an early pick up point and sat on the bus waiting for people who had not arrived on time or were not ready. Would have preferred to sleep in rather than driving around Athens on a bus picking up people from various locations.
Review by: Fernando R, August 2014
This tour has the best of Athens, the tour guide was great and knew a lot about the history. Delphi was a great trip with amazing views, and full of history. This was a great opportunity to visit different landscapes in a short time.
Review by: Anthony B, August 2014
This review is difficult to write as it comprises two tours, both of whic were on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Review by: clabahn, December 2013
This was an excellent tour. Guide was great and very imformative.
Review by: Kent E, December 2013
Perfect combo. So much fun and incredibly interesting.
Review by: Roy M, November 2013
The tour guide for the Athens sightseeing tour kept racing ahead and I was unable to keep up with the tour. Consequently I unfortunately missed much of the tour.The tour guide for the Delphi day trip appeared to be knowledgeable about Delphi and kept to a mangeable pace during the tour of the Delphi site.However, the mini van/coach for the day tour was cramp and uncomfortable with very little leg room .
Review by: LSKennedy, October 2013
these were 2 different tours over 2 days with 2 different guides + experiences -- difficult to rate as a combined rating. _br/_
I would rate Delphi as a 4 (recommend - guide clear, informative + pleasure to listen to) and Athens as a 2 (could understand guide, thou was repetitive + difficult to listen to) !!
Review by: Barbara J W, July 2013
The Delphi tour was very an excellent tour. Very much worth it and so very interesting! The 1/2 day tour was good, just crowded and so much harder to manage the Acropolis in a big group! The New Acropolis Museum with our guide was fantastic though. I would highly recommend this tour to newcomers to Athens!
Review by: James S, June 2013
Excellent. Well worth the money. Wonderful tour......
