    Hightlight of our trip! Must do!

    This tour was a highlight of our 13 days in Greece! Despina was very knowledgeable and brought charm and humor alone with her. We were in a group of 6 (3 couples). We were given plenty of time to see both the Delphi Museum and the ancient ruins, followed by a lovely lunch in New Delphi as a group. She gave us the option but we all got alone well and decided to eat together. We then drove to the cave which happens to be up a very bumpy dirt road but Despina's excellent driving skills got us right to the opening. The cave was amazing! We then drove to the battlegrounds and the memorial area. Although it was a long day, not once did we want to rush it along. There was a nice balance of adventure and rest between. I highly recommend this tour and if your lucky, Despina will be your tour guide. Thank you Despina for a wonderful day, and also your patience when we were walking in circles looking for the pickup spot! 😆 Marie & Joe

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    This was a fantastic tour! Our guide was excellent and the whole trip was fantastic. The dolma at the lunch spot blew my mind. Definitely wear sturdy shoes for the temple and hiking!

    Dream come true

    We booked this tour as it was the only one I could find to the cave of Delphi. Ooowh going there was a dream come true. Do bring very sturdy shoes - its slippery in there. Pan (I forgot his full name) did an amazing job.

    Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $142 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 Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 548 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour?

    +

    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 Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour?

    +

    Around 192 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour 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.
