      Great day! Well worth it!
      We loved traveling through the countryside and seeing the canal, Corinth and Nafplio. We enjoyed the history and the beauty. The pace was easy. The bus was comfortable and even had WiFi. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

      Amazing tour guide
      One of the best tour guides I've ever experienced. She was extremely knowledgeable. I wish we had more time in Nafphlio though, it is such a cute town. We had a fantastic meal there that the tour guide recommended. While it's convenient to buy the option with the tickets purchased for you, buy your own tickets if you want to save some money.

      Definitely worth a visit for Christians
      The trip overall was very good, the guide was excellent and spoke in clear English. The canal was a good short stop as it also included a rest stop. Ancient Corinth is not as vast or as in good as shape as say Ephesus which was the highlight of our trip. We still found the Biblical significance of the site made it very worthwhile. The trip to Nafplion was good because our guide took the time to give a quick optional tour of the town. I am not sure all guides do that.

      A wonderful day out
      Great day out not too far from Athens. We enjoyed the time at the ancient city and museum. We did find the audio tour a bit confusing so we just toured by ourselves using the information provided at the site. We had a great lunch at the little village also.

      Great day out with a variety of experiences and very interesting.
      This was a really interesting day. Nikos was a very informative and interesting speaker who was able to articulate not just the facts but also to explain all of Greek history and all the myths and legends as we made our way on the bus to our destinations. For me the Corinth canal was a short but spectacular view. The main stops were the city of Corinth and Nafplion. Nikos was able to explain all about the history and buildings of the city and the museum was a quick but rewarding tour. The Nafplion city is a really pretty town and quite different to other Greek towns because of its history and we were able to explore and have lunch on our own. It’s a good combination of experiences in the day. The only downside is the traffic in Athens which made it a whole day trip.

      Katharina was a very good tour guide. We stopped at Corinth canal, toured arqueoligical site of Corinth and had free time in Naflio. Left 8:45 and returned about 18:00. Nice new bus

      This was a wonderful day. Sophia is the perfect guide by contrast with others we have experienced Clear instructions and lots of interesting facts provided without information overload. She made us feel special. Great drive through the countryside and places we visited should not be missed.

      Good for soul, not just curiosity
      Our tour guide, Elizabeta, was very knowledged and had answers for all our questions. One unique thing about this tour was that she made it very personable, interacting with tourists and trying to remember our names. Corinth is a must see for both believers in Jesus as well as non believers. Very intriguing. This is also where I learned why some statues have no head - come find out yourself. Also, Nadplion is the cleanest city I have ever seen in my life, and I travel at least once a year. Thank you for putting this tour together

      Shout out for excellent customer service
      We misjudged the early morning traffic and missed the tour. #Tag Tours were very understanding and simply moved us to the next day. When there are so many tour companies offering the same excursion to the same places it is excellent customer service that separates them. Thank you #Tag your response was excellent and made all the difference. The tour and guide were superb.

      Nice tour, great guide
      We enjoyed this tour, and the care our guide took in explaining what we were seeing was great. The stop in Nafplio was delightful, as well! The only thing that would have bettered it was maybe 15 minutes longer at the canal. Trying to fit in a trip to the WC and fight through the crowds for photos of the canal was very tight timing.

      Last minute cancellation circumstances questionable
      First the tour did not occur, it was cancelled last minute. Story was tour guide was in an accident that morning. If this is true I sincerely hope they are ok. The reason I doubt this, there was no bus for transportation, I don’t believe the driver was guide. Also there was only a small group for the tour, making it more likely they didn’t sell enough tickets to cover cost. We are staying way south of Athen and had to get up early pay UBER. When we arrived it was early and they yes we will take care of you, please just wait till your time. Our time came no transportation there, story is now the guide just had an accident. You see why I doubt the story. I would ask how many are booked and question if the number supports the trip. Frustrating and questionable story!

      Not impressed with the company
      Booked the trip before we arrived in Athens and it was cancelled the day before the trip was due. Just about managed to get another tour via Get Your Guide thankfully the day before we were due to fly home. Not impressed one bit and nearly ruined our holiday.

    Our guide Sophia was absolutely amazing, informative, friendly. Delphi itself was great, amazing history and ruins. The negative for me was we wasted an hour at a side of the road mass restaurant for lunch which was over priced, very average and not one bit authentic. We then only had 30 minutes in the gorgeous town of Arachova which I would much rather have spent my tourist dollar in. Once back on the bus we spent another wasted 30 minutes at a souvenir shop full of tat, sat on the bus in the heat waiting until the last passenger had finished. Got back to Athens at about 8pm. While we booked to see Delphi I felt there was far too much time spent in places I had no interest in, perhaps book a smaller, more personalized tour.

    The tour was wonderful. Delphi is beautiful! Make sure to hike all the way up to see the field where they used to hold the games. Our guide was very kind. The bus was very comfortable. The museum was really nice.

    We booked the trip with lunch. I would NOT recommend to buy it with lunch. When you pre-pay the lunch you only have a few choices from an assigned menu and does not include drink. Everyone else on the tour had lunch at the same restaurant and they ate what they wanted and paid. We ate at Oistros. The food was good but the service is poor. The owner is pretty rude and wants you out of there as soon as you can.

    Arachova is a nice town but most stores were closed when we got there. There was only 1 pastry store and 3 souvenirs stores open.

    Good tour and very much worth doing, but do not purchase the included lunch! You can dine at the same restaurant with the group (if you choose) and select what you'd like for less money, versus the very limited "family style" menu where you share items with others who purchased this option. It's also a much, much better value to purchase separately.

    Amazing place up in the mountains and the taverna food we went to in Arachnida was very good quality and value for money

    It was a well organized and interesting day trip, though be aware there is a lot of walking and steep climbs.

    The bus was comfortable, and there was a stop on the way to use the bathroom or buy something to eat. The views on the way are gorgeous, and when we got to Delphi we got headsets we could use to hear the guide. She was interesting and provided a lot of info, and allowed time for questions.

    After a short tour of the site, we were given time to wander around alone. There is a steep climb of about 15 minutes each direction to see a long stadium a bit away from the main site, in case you want to take it.

    After that, we went to the Delphi museum, where we were also guided around, and then had a very short, five minutes photo stop above the temple of Athena. We werent allowed to walk down towards it, though we did see other people go there - Im unsure as to why, which was a bit of a letdown.

    From there we went to Arachova. I didn't book the option for lunch, and I think in general you probably shouldn't - I could walk in to the same restaurant they went into and eat whatever i wanted, instead of paying in advance. It's worth walking around the town, too - it's picturesque and very calm!

    Excellent tour with a small group on a half filled 32 seater coach, which was comfy and well-driven.
    Dionysius our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous, and we appreciated his 'whispers', I.e conversation level information through small in ear headphones, where other tour guides boomed over everyone.... the trip covered the main Delphi site, the nearby museum, the Proneus (only from a viewpoint) with just about enough time at each, although at quite a pace. Coffee stop on the way was fine and we opted to wander through Arachove rather than eat with the group ... found a lovely patisserie with beautiful views over valley.

    Great tour! Guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting wide-ranging trivia about everything - myths related to apollo/oedipus/prometheus/oracle and history/geography of Athens.
    Although I am not very familiar with greek mythology, everything was well-explained, and it was easy to follow.
    I liked how the guide also explained why there were evergreen orange trees planted along the roads and even the reason for the countless stray cats we encountered on the streets when someone in the tour group pointed that out.
    The brief introduction of common greek products like olives (green/black ones are from the same olive tree and what cold press virgin oil mean) and mastic gums (related to the english verb masticulation) were also intriguing.
    Really appreciated how the driver drove us safely back; it was a long drive back on a Sunday evening due to a traffic jam as most people were driving back into the city from a weekend ski getaway.
    Highly recommended!

    I don’t usually take large group tours (~30 people), but I thought this one was great. The tour guide (Sofia) was very informative and easy-going and managed the size of the group well. In general, there was plenty of time for pictures and free time. We had only one hour in Arachova and since we didn’t bring lunch and didn’t know of a fast place to get lunch, we didn’t get to walk around the beautiful mountain village because we ate at a sit down restaurant (couldn’t skip lunch with three hungry kids). My recommendation is to either bring food or research in advance if there is a cafe or place to get food quickly if you want to have time to walk around.

    Mariza was a very good guide. She gave us a brief history of greece on the coach then allowed us some time to nap. We had one pit stop on the way to delphi for toilet breaks/snacks.
    When we got to the temple she explained the way through 4 out of the 5 levels, and kept it at a good pace so we could get some shade/rest in between the levels. Once we got to the 4th level she had finished her tour of the temple site and allowed some time for the travellers who wanted to go to the 5th level (after leaving us with a warning regarding its steepness).
    She then reconvened with us to take us to the museum for another guided tour.
    We then went into the nearby village and she recommended a restaurant, allowing us to choose where we wanted to eat.
    On the way back she informed us if anyone needs to go to the toilet to just let her know and she'll arrange a stop.
    All in all it was a very good tour, very informative, and very well organised.

    This was a very professionally organised tour, with a good meeting point and clear information about what was happening.

    Our guide, Georgios, was very informative about parts of Athens and the countryside that we travelled through, as well as the site at Delphi itself.

    I could easily have spent longer in the museum, but there was enough time on the mountainside.

    For those who paid for the included meal, there was a tasty Greek salad, fresh bread, and a choice of six or seven main courses in a decent restaurant, with a small ice cream to finish. The food was good, but there are plenty of other options in Arachova and time to get what you want, so unless you are going in high season and want to guarantee a seat, just pick somewhere on the day.
