We believed we were on 3...
We believed we were on 3 day tour with the same people.We dont usually do tours but thought it would be a nice change to have some travel companions. It was us jumping on the middle of different tours. On the first day we went to Delphi and after check in at the hotel we were on our own for 23 hours until the next day when an existing tour came and picked us up. Luckily we paid for a taxi to be taken to Arachova for the morning which was great. We thought we should have lunch as getting picked up at 1.30 but once picked up we were taken to another spot for an hour lunch. It was disappointing to end up at Kalambaka in time for dinner and then left the next morning. The hotel was on the outside of town so could not look at what was supposedly beautiful town with an old city. Meteora was wonderful the next morning but then just a very long drive back to Athens. The guides were great on both tours. The food at both hotels we stayed in were cold and the rooms extremely warm. Staff however at both were lovely.
Response from the operator: Dear Helen, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. We would, however, like to clarify a few important details for future travelers considering this tour. This specific 3-day itinerary is designed as a combination tour, which is clearly outlined in the program description. It allows travelers to experience destinations like Delphi and Meteora in a relaxed way, without long driving hours each day. As part of this structure, the first day includes guided visits followed by free time in the Delphi area, and the second day continues with the Meteora portion of the journey. The free time in Delphi is intentional, giving guests the opportunity to explore the area at their own pace or visit nearby villages such as Arachova—something many travelers appreciate. We understand this may not suit everyone, especially those expecting a continuous group experience, and we will review how we communicate this to make it even clearer. Regarding accommodation, the hotels used (such as the Amalia properties) are 4-star hotels selected for their comfort and ability to accommodate groups. As is common in these regions of Greece, they are located slightly outside small towns, offering a quieter and more scenic environment rather than a city-center setting. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Meteora and found the guides and hotel staff welcoming and helpful. Your comments regarding the meals and room temperature have been noted and will be shared with the hotels for review. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our communication and overall guest experience. Regards Hara Kritikidou Customer service Manager

Wonderful excursion to Delphi and Meteora!
The trip was wonderful! Really interesting, informative, yet relaxed and fun. We learned so much about Greek history, mythology, and culture. And the views and vistas were breathtaking!

Amazing Delphi and incredible Meteora.
Visiting the incredible ancient site of Delphi, spending time in quaint but beautiful town of Delphi, staying in the impressively appointed Amalia Hotel and then visiting the truly amazing monasteries of Meteora. A thoroughly enjoyable, educational experience with friendly bus travellers and well versed, knowledgeable, articulate tour guides. Thank you

Not worthwhile . 2nd day is a complete waste of your time
The 3 days 2 nights trip is a waste of money and times. Will advice people to do a day trip to Delhi and then anor trip to Meteora. The understanding was you will be in the same group with same tour guide but no. You join the delphi day trip then they drop you at hotel in delphi at 2:30 pm. There was just me and an American couple doing this trip. Free and easy and delphi is a pretty small town but enjoyable. Next day join another tour group with anor guide. The whole 2nd day is wasted as you are just heading to town next to Meteora and reach there like 6pm. Designated dinner time so you have no flexibility. Worse thing hotel is like 7 km from town and you need to hire a taxi to town for euro 12 one way. 2nd day was a complete waste of a day !
Response from the operator: Dear Robert, Thank you for your review. This tour is relaxable and is clear written at the advertised itinerary that the morning of day 2 is free on your own and afternoon is the departure from Delphi to Kalambaka -Meteora(approx 5 hours driving). Thank you Hara

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens cost?
+
Prices start at $472 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Trip to Delphi and Meteora from Athens start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
