Hello Fellow Travelers,
We are 4 adults traveling to Greece in late April and will have our own car.
I know the right tour guide can really make a site come alive, and one of our group is a very educated Greek philosophy/history aficionado.
Does anyone have any high recommendations for tour guides in Delphi, The Acropolis and The Argolis?
Many thanks!!!

THere are many options for LICENSED TOur Guides (do not be scammed by offer of "taxi Tours" - these drivers aren't qualified & cannot accompany u into sites/museums). For Licensed Guides, the going rate 2 years was about €60/hr for groups of up to 4; i think with inflation etc, it may be nearer €80 for 4 now. Some ATHENS options:
• https://www.athens-walks.com/ - this is the top-rated outfit for group tours... but also offers personal tours, tailored exactly to your interests & timetable - very worth investigating
• https://www.contexttravel.com/cities/athens/all-tours - this outfit is in many countries, uses licensed guides with advanced degrees ... doesn't provide exact costs until u put in info for booking - always has good reviews
• https://www.privateguide.com/en/Diana/ - This guide, pre-2019, was the top-rated private guide in a very useful website called "OUr Explorer/Private Guides" - the website was a COVID victim, but apparently its star is still very active & worth contacting...
• https://www.viator.com/tours/Athens/Athens-Full-Day-Private-Tour/d496-63145P3 - this tour, more costly, takes u around by vehicle - not relevant for you
DELPHI - https://sites.google.com/view/delphi-guide Georgia Hasioti is the best-known guide in Delphi, with reason, tons of 5-star reviews, she meets you at the site ( top recommend by Greek friend of mine in hospitality industry)
