Athens and Delphi Tour: Ancient Sites & Entrance Tickets

See Athens and Delphi on your own terms, tickets and guide included.

This 2-day tour pairs a half-day Athens sightseeing tour with a full-day Delphi excursion, both led by an English-speaking guide with entrance tickets included. You choose the order: explore the Acropolis and central Athens first, then travel to Delphi's archaeological site and museum, or reverse the sequence to suit your itinerary. Hotel pickup is available from selected properties.

Step-by-step itinerary

Day 1: Athens sightseeing and Acropolis visit

• Visit Acropolis area
• Bus tour of Athens monuments

Day 2: Delphi archaeological site visit

• Visit Delphi archaeological site
• Visit Delphi museum

The experience

The Athens half-day covers the Acropolis, the Roman temple of Olympic Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, and Parliament House with its ceremonial guards, all from an air-conditioned bus with your guide pointing out monuments and squares across the city. On the Delphi day, you visit the archaeological site and museum where ancient Greeks believed the center of the earth and universe stood. Both days include entrance fees (30 euros for the Acropolis and 20 euros for Delphi), so there are no surprises at the gates.

You pick which day comes first, so if you want to ease into the trip with Athens before the longer Delphi journey, or tackle Delphi's archaeology while you're fresh, the choice is yours. The guide is a licensed professional speaking English throughout. Hotel pickup is included from selected properties. Public transportation options are available nearby if your accommodation isn't on the pickup list. Free WiFi runs on the coach, and the vehicle is air-conditioned both days.

Booking these two tours together brings a discount compared to purchasing them separately. Note that children aged 5 to 12 need a passport or ID to receive the discounted rate. Without it, they pay the full entrance fee at each site. The tour involves walking at both locations, so a moderate level of fitness is needed, and wheelchair users cannot participate.
