Excursion was good. Ancient Corinth is a very impressive site and the museum is excellent
However, the trip was expensive and, in our view, over priced.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you for finding the time to leave a review.
I agree it is expensive.
It is something out of my hands.
When the trip is +200km, The litre of fuel is €2, +Tolls, 13-24% VAT, + Insurance and more then 25% Commission.
It’s very difficult to keep low prices with good quality and always being legal.
Hope to see you again in Greece.

Our driver was excellent. Very well informed and fun. It was a great experience visiting where Paul would have walked.

Our driver (Demetri?) was very friendly and conscientious and he pointed out extra things to see along the way. He never rushed us through the sites and gave us all the time we needed.

We (my wife and I) had a private tour to Ancient Corinth and to the Corinth Canal. The tour was much more than we expected. The tour guide Terry Drakakis was most personable and friendly and conversant in English which was helpful. He provided excellent commentary on the area and and its history. We were very pleased!

Our guide was Demitrios. He started the day by taking us to his favorite coffee spot and got all of us a Greece specialty coffee and then we headed off to Corinth. He knows a lot of Greek mythology and told us stories as well as pointed out the sites along the way. We saw the newly burned areas of the horrible Athens fire. We stopped at the Corinth canal and he even took photos for us--which was true the whole trip. We went to Corinth and toured the museum and site on our own and then he took us to AcroCorinth--the fortress for amazing views. We then went back to Athens and he drove us to a monastery that he said was wonderful, but due to approaching rains, was closed early but then to the church on the hill that overlooks Athens! What amazing sights! He recommended places for us to eat in the Plaka and dropped us off. We then ate in the Plaka and toured the Agoura on our own. We opted to be dropped off there and then made are own way back to the hotel. Demitrios went above and beyond the description. He was wonderful and everyone should take this tour!

Terry was on time and friendly. He immediately established why we chose this tour and catered his history discussions to our interests. He took us where the tour was scheduled to go and threw in a few extra stops to make the trip more than we hoped for. Doing a private tour allowed us the time we needed to see all of what we wanted to see in Corinth. To have done this tour with a larger group would have shortened and lessened our experience. This was definitely the way to go for us.

We had an excellent visit to ancient Corinth. We were also taken to the top of AcroCorinth and I was able to climb to the top of the ancient fortress. It was a very memorable experience.

We had a fabulous day with Terry, who was our driver, from CATTaxi. He was very professional, courteous, warm, sharing a lot of history just the right amount on our way from the hotel in Athens to Ancient Corinth. We strolled through the ruins as well as seeing the museum. We also stopped at both the top on the bridge and bottom of the Corinth Canal which was very exciting. We asked Terry to find a seaside restaurant specializing in seafood and he found the perfect one for us! We urged him to join us, but he would not, leaving us to enjoy our meal, discreetly waiting nearby. We had a fabulous meal literally on the beach at a wonderful restaurant. He could not do enough to please us

We HIGHLY RECOMMNED this tour- YOU MUST BOOK!!!! We cannot say enough good things about this tour, our driver and tour guide, and the company CAT Taxi that ran the tour. The guides were super knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. They took us all around Corinth, showed us some small gems that other tours were not hitting and even hosted us for coffee and a treat at a local cafe. I cannot say enough good things about these guys. We were engaged in conversation most of the day and they could not have been nicer or more polite. They even took the time to show us some local restaurants in Athens where we needed to eat - and they both were incredible spots and super low priced. I want to see them again when we return to Athens.
