Reviews

We spent the day following the ancient footpath down to the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Our guide was fantastic! She knew the history, of course, but also shared local stories and information about the land and area. The hike was beautiful and the experience was well worth spending an extra day in the area. She even had a restaurant recommendation that was phenomenal!

Nous avons été accueillis et conduits par Eleni, francophone, réactive et très professionnelle. Hilda, notre guide pour 4 à 5 heures, est très sympa, intéressante et dynamique. En sa compagnie nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer lors de cette balade sur le chemin antique de Delphes. Nous avons passé un excellent moment.

We had a great time with Hélène, an expert on botany, the history of Greece, and France Inter podcasts. Our hike started from the site of Delphi towards the Sea of Olives. Unforgettable, instructive and joyful moment. To do absolutely!

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Hélène, incollable sur la botanie, l'histoire de la Grèce et les podcasts de France Inter. Notre randonnée partait du site de Delphes vers la mer des oliviers. Moment inoubliable, instructif et joyeux. A faire absolument !
