About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 714eryng0 contributionsGood tour, great lunchThe tour was good, the guide did repeat herself a lot. The first rest stop was mayhem, 20 minutes just to use the restroom. Delphi was amazing, the museum is very small and was quite crowded. We opted to get the lunch option and I'm glad we did, it was quite late though (3:00 ish). The stop on the way back was better but we were still stuffed from lunch. They didn't provide us with a ticket for our toddler and we had to get the guide to go to the ticket booth and get a free ticket as they wouldn't let us in without one ( I clearly stated a toddler on the reservation).Written 25 March 2025
- A8762TTmartinb0 contributionsAmazing historic site!We had a great trip to this wonderful historic place set in beautiful mountain scenery. Our guide Katerina was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. Recommended!Written 24 March 2025
- Rolf D0 contributionsGreat tour and tour guide!This is a great tour! My wife did a version of this tour many years ago, and loved it even more this time. The guide was funny, smart and spoke clearly. The tour took 10 hours and includes lunch. Suggest you bring your own water.Written 24 March 2025
- mcass70 contributionsOk at bestFirst tour to Delphi they gave me the wrong pickup location. Guide was passionate and knowledgeable. The second tour to Poseidon we paid for a guide and didn't get one. They got us on the bus but didn't even enter the site. We paid for a very expensive ride.on a sketchy bus. Why do they only send a pickup confirmation email after I call?Written 18 March 2025
- mcass70 contributionsAn expensive bus ride, not a tour, no guideSite was worth the visit! Tour was not worth the money. We were promised an archeology guide to the site. I stead our guide read a few city site blurbs from a travel sales sheet and didn't even.come into the site. Was starting to worry bus wasn't going to make it back.Written 18 March 2025
- R3066ZSsarac0 contributionsVery knowledgeableHad a great day visiting Delphi. Angelica provided tons of information about Greece, Delphi and what we saw on the bus ride. Experiencing the bus navigating narrow streets was also an entertaining, passing within inches of other buses. Delphi was beautiful and glad we had a guide to provide context and stories. Had a nice lunch at a family run restaurant.Written 18 March 2025
- Harry D0 contributionsCroooooooozingEarly start but relaxing and welcoming embarkation. Staff and crew were receptive and responsive, polite and helpful. Purser checking in with passengers along the route to enquire about the journey. The food was excellent and the whole trip well organised.Written 10 March 2025
- Debbie S0 contributionsTicketsVery easy with tickets to get in ,Very easy to get too,friendly staff, nice place to look around, lovely clean toilets, it was very warm when we went but not too warmWritten 25 February 2025
- Flyingboy580 contributionsLong dayThe good part is that Kostas worked the VIP area and is an extremely nice man. Very helpful and welcoming. The bad part is that it’s an old boat and basically you are on it all day. It was about 11 hours long. And you get roughly 1:15 in Hydra. 25 minutes in Poros. And on the third island they took us on a bus to see the temple. That was cool but not included in the price. In total it’s roughly 8 hours just sailing along. And 3 hours on land. It’s a long day and you don’t do much at all.Written 23 February 2025
- moonc3510 contributionsBreathtaking, but a little hurried.The site is breathtaking and worth the time it takes to get there. Our guide was very knowledgeable and even gave us the odd tidbit as we traveled to the site. Once at Delphi, the tour can move at pace (there were several other groups overlapping each other) and information comes thick and fast. Our 9 year old daughter loved it! We chose to walk on up to the ancient stadium, the site of the Pythian games. Again this was well worth the extra 15 minutes club, but it used all (and more) of our available "free time", so we ended up missing the start of the guided museum tour. The museum tour was, as with the previous part, delivered with real knowledge from the guide. Again though, we could have done with maybe 10 or 15 minutes more to do a little free exploration. The restaurant was warm and welcoming with traditional Greek food. Importantly, there were decent options for vegetarians. Overall a very good experience and would recommend, but perhaps an additional hour would make the site visit perfect, especially if going at busy times.Written 21 February 2025
- robinwL4368UD0 contributionsPerfect way to see Delphi from Athens.A very knowledgable guide who has clearly thought out this trip very well. We had been toying with the idea of hiring a car and driving ourselves. Definitely don’t. The coach up from Athens is certainly the best way to see Delphi, and this trip was extremely enjoyable.Written 16 February 2025
- natashaj960 contributionsAmazing views!Our tour to Delphi from Athens was a great day out! Driving along through the countryside while our guide tells stories about the ancient times and what would be happening in these areas. Delphi was a beautiful place to see and explore, again with wonderful information being provided to us throughout the whole trip.Written 30 January 2025
- Haroshi R0 contributionsAverage experienceThe overall experience was average. While the staff was friendly and efficient, quickly bringing whatever we ordered, the lack of basic amenities like water was disappointing. Even at the buffet, water was not provided, which felt inconvenient and unexpected.Written 24 January 2025
- G2348KEchloel0 contributionsA great tour!This two day tour to Delphi and Meteora was incredibly pleasant. Mrs Marianna, our guide, shared Greece’s patrimoine: past and present as well as interesting facts with an undeniable passion and knowledge. She genuinely loves what she does and gives you time to appreciate your surroundings. Having experienced worldwide guides, she is undeniably one of the best. The bus has very comfortable seats with big windows which give on splendid views and the lunch is delicious. Long hours of travel are to be noted and are inevitable but the destinations are worth it to visit. The only things which were disappointing were the hotel’s (Orfeas) food and very slow wifi. Overall, it was a very nice experience which I would absolutely redo and recommend!Written 12 January 2025
- ringseal990 contributionsboat trip athensthis was an all day 3 island visit..we enjoyed the trip..lunch was served as well boat was mid size..but with lots room..staff on board were great and friendly..the only issue was the short 45 minute stay at 2 of the islands..but u still got the feel for the place..if time is tight and u wanna see as much as possible this boat tour is worth itWritten 7 January 2025

Tip for future: we should be in front of the Agency 8:05, departure planned at 8:15. In Real we were wainting and came 4 buses And we didn't know which one Is for our trip. After 3rd request to one of the quides he bring to us the guide for our trip. And the Real departure was 8:40. Finally it has no impact on the trip schedule. Bud if we would know the departure will be half ani hour later, we couldn't wake up that early as we did.
Nevertheless, the trip was very nice and comfortable.

We really enjoyed this tour. The guide talked on the drive about what we passed through Athens, which was great. The canal was impressive, the monastery was interesting, and seeing Ancient Corinth was wonderful. We also came on a day when there were not many people. I really loved it there.

I was lucky to only have 10 people on my tour so we were in a very comfortable mini bus. My tour picked me up from a hotel about 5 minute walk from my own at 7:30am. They they take you to their main office where they move you into your correct bus for the day. Left the city at about 8:30am and came back at around 3pm. The tour guide (I think her name was Katrina) was absolutely fantastic! She had such great knowledge of her city and the places we went. First stop was the monastery and we were the only ones there so it was great for some quite time and photos. Back into the bus and a quick stop at the Corinth canal which is another photo opportunity and a place for toilets. Then onto Corinth where Katrina took us around the site explaining what everything was and showing photos of depictions of what they assumed it looked like. Then there was some free time to walk around yourself and take more photos. Then back onto the bus and they drop you off where you were collected from. A very easy trip and a must do to see more than just Athens.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your precious time to send us your 5 stars review regarding our Ancient Corinth and Dafni Monastery tour.
I feel very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our complimentary pick up and drop off service and you enjoyed the trip in a very comfortable mini bus. Indeed Katerina, which is one of our best guides, has such great knowledge of Athens, Dafni Monastery and Ancient Corinth and not only and she was capable enough to explain to you all the historical value of the site and also she showed you photos of how the place used to be in Ancient Times.
Not to mention that we always focus on hiring the best guides the market has to offer since we know their vital role in your overall experience!
It is also amazing for me to know that you appreciated the schedule of our tour that provided you with the opportunity to do two photo shoots.
I wish to welcome you back in our wonderful country pretty soon and present to you some more amazing destinations.
All the best,
Dimitris Bistolas | Managing Director

This was a great tour on which to end our long tour of Greece. Our guide, Marina (I hope this is her name; I should have written this review a little earlier before jet lag, etc., set in) was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the sites, pointed out important landmarks as we drove along, answered our questions about everyday Greek life, and adapted her trip to fit our small group, including plenty of time for a snack at the Corinth Canal and shopping in Ancient Corinth. We took this trip solely as a way to visit Ancient Corinth but were delightfully surprised by the Daphni Monastery. The building and mosaics there are quite beautiful, and Marina gave us an excellent tour of this intriguing site. I would recommend this tour if you have a free day when visiting Athens.

Very interesting tour especially for those familiar with the Christian Bible and the writings of the Apostle Paul. Our tour guide Katie Liapi was excellent and gave us great historical background information which helped us understand exactly what we were seeing at each of our stops on the tour.

This half day tour was well organised. Tour Guide was knowledgeable and kept us interested throughout.
The shuttle bus was very late picking us up by 30 minutes in the morning. We were wondering if they were collecting us, and this was a early morning start. The same thing happened with another Key Tours activity we had booked the following day. I suspect this is "normal" re punctuality, but a text message or email would be appreciated in this instance to inform us.

We enjoyed this tour, and had the hotel pick up which was really nice. I will try to use this feature in the future as much as possible. It was a nice mini-bus and a small group. Great sites, and the guide was very good at relaying the history to us. Seeing these sights were very meaningful to us as Christians.

Three couples are thinking of booking your tour for August 2nd. Couple of questions: do you offer hotel pick up/drop off and do you know the approximate time we would be back at our hotel. We are staying at the Athens Marriott Hotel, Syngrou Avenue 385.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Look forward to your response.
