★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 342 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $520Our pick

Travel from Athens by air-conditioned coach to Greece’s great ancient sites, including Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, and Delphi. A professional guide such as Joy, Xenia, or Dimitri leads the visits, with two hotel nights, breakfasts, dinners, and entry fees included. Expect long drives, full sightseeing days, and hotel standards ranging from tourist class to Amalia first class.

“We were on an English speaking bus. We had a great time and our guide was very knowledgeable and our driver was awesome! There was no hesitation when my friend needed a pharmacy and the guide went with her to translate for her. We did not get to make one tour as Greece designated that day as a holiday. I was disappointed as I wanted to have my picture taken at THE LIONS GATE in ancient Mycenae. I know that this was not the tour’s problem. The hotels and meals were excellent.”

“Our guides were amazing and the transportation to Meteora was first rate. Our tours, drivers, guides and accommodations in Meteora were perfect. Our transportation to Delphi was via a private car with another wonderful couple. The Delphi archaeological site was impressive. The only poor piece of the entire trip was that there was no air conditioning on the bus back to Athens.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 80 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $349

You’ll explore Delphi independently with an audio guide before returning to Athens by public bus. Guide Katerina is one name praised for her warmth and local insight.

“This was a terrific trip/tour. Very well organized and managed. For this destination the 3-day trip is a must. I highly recommend it, because It cannot/should not be done as a single day trip. The Hotel Kaikis where we were put was excellent and very comfortable. With the 3-day trip there is ample time to rest, eat, shop and enjoy the town of Kalabaka.”

Travel from Athens through the Peloponnese to Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, and Delphi with an English-speaking guide, hotel stays, breakfasts, dinners, entrance fees, and air-conditioned transport. Guides such as Anna, Marianna, Evan, and Dimitris bring mythology and archaeology to life, while the route includes the Corinth Canal, Nafplio, Nafpaktos, and Arachova.

“Loved it, loved it, loved it and would do it again. My partner and I joined the 3-day tour of the Corinth Canal, Epidaurus, Nafplion, (nb. quick lunch stop), my second favourite: Mycenae, Olympia, the Antirrio Bridge, and - my absolute favourite - Delphi: both the modern town and the archeological site. We did not do the Meteora tour as we wanted to focus on Ancient Greece, but we will definitely try that one out next time. There is a lot of information thrown at you, but we actually loved it as we usually find that tours like these barely touch the surface. This was not the case: Dimitris was…”
