Stephanos made our last day in Greece so perfect. He really went the extra mile for us.He knew so much historical information and was very nice. The canal was amazing and Corinth was lovely. Nice museum and site. The castle was amazing and he took us up on the adjacent hill to take pictures of the beautiful view. Really a wonderful day. 5 stars

Well, worth the one hour one way drive. Ancient Corinth is amazing and the crowds were minimal, especially compared to Athens. Yannis (sp) was prompt, pleasant, and knowledgable. He went over and above to accommodate us.

This was the perfect tour. It was great to see the canal and the several ancient Corinth stops. Alex, our driver/guide, was extremely informative, knowledgeable and down to earth. We not only learned about the history of Greece and the areas we visited but also more about Greece today. We would book this tour again! 10/10

We booked the day trip to Old Corinth from Athens for myself, my wife, and my daughter. Our driver and guide, Alex, was absolutely amazing. This was our first of two trips with Alex as our tour guide (the second was the Thermopylae and Delphi day trip from Athens) and with each booking Alex went well above and beyond what was required. He was very very knowledgeable about the areas all along the trip to each location and the locations themselves. He was very personable, and we really enjoyed talking with him and getting to know him. He was a great driver also, which for a long trip is a plus. The vehicle was very clean and nice as well. I would highly recommend this company, this particular tour, and while I am sure all guides are equally as fantastic as Alex, I would highly recommend requesting Alex as your guide. 5 STARS.

Our driver and guide Nikos, was prompt, kind, professional, engaging and wanted to be sure our experience would be the best it could be.
This is our 2nd time booking this tour because we wanted our friends to enjoy this excursion and specifically requested the first driver and guide we had in 2023, that request wasn’t able to be accommodated for understandable reasons and as a result, Nikos went above and beyond in serving us.
We had just as wonderful and enjoyable a time as we did the first go round, we weren’t rushed, in any way and his recommendation for a local restaurant by the water was perfect, the food was delicious.
We would be happy to do this a 3rd time around, the beauty of the Corinth Canal, the hike to ancient Corinth, the lunch, and many other niceties to mention are a must while in Greece.

Our driver, Themos, was fantastic. He provided cols water and snacks in the car, had umbrellas available for the brief rain shower we experienced and had outlets for charging our phones. He narrated the trip with excellent information as we traveled from Athens to The Corinth Canal. We had time to walk the bridges as well as take time to shop at the small souvenir stands there. Because this was a private tour (just the two of us) Themos took us to the places we wanted to see and gave us the time we needed at each stop. After the canal we drove to the sight of ancient Corinth. We paid our way into the site and took a self-guided tour of both the museum and the city site. Again, Themos allowed enough time for us to enjoy this ancient city. He met us at the exit at the agreed time and then traveled to the Corinth Acropolis parking area. My wife chose to remain at the car while I hiked the strenuous climb to the top of the mountain. Again, with our return to Athens, Themos shared about the region, people, history, economy, and so forth. The tour was well worth what we paid. Very enjoyable.

I wish the guide had gone in the ruins and explained them or that the place had an audio guide. It was tough figuring out what we were looking at sometimes. It was special to see the places Paul went, and the Akokorinthos was cool with great views.

In case you haven't noticed, I would like to let you and the community know that as described "Our drivers are not official tour guides, but they are knowledgeable and can provide fascinating commentary in fluent English. Although they will not enter the archaeological sites with you, they can answer all of your questions about the places you visit with this tour". Also, as described under what's included we can provide a licensed tour guide (optional with extra cost) who will accompany you into the archaeological site and explain what you see but you didn't ask for a licensed tour guide.
Looking forward to seeing you again!

Alex was an amazing tour guide. He shared information and was easy to chat with. He never rushed us at the different stops and took us to two additional sites that interested us that were t on the initial tour which we loved. I highly recommend LS Tours

The fact that St Paul had been preaching there. I loved the small museum which was full of ancient everyday things. The guide was well informed and spoke good English. Making the booking was efficiently done. The tour was pleasant and worthwhile.

This tour made our day. We had a wonderful guide (Alex) who went above and beyond when we discovered that one of our main spots (The temple of Apollos) was closed, he offered additional sites he drove us to and suggested a wonderful and beautiful seaside lunch location. We’d do this all over again!

Stephanos provided taxi service for us to visit Corinth Canal, Acrocorinth, and Ancient Corinth. He was prompt in picking us up from the port, and corresponded with us in advance to confirm pick up location. We enjoyed our day very much, and even extended an extra hour when we spent too much time at Acrocorinth.

Brilliant trip to Ancient Corinth. Dimitris was an excellent guide and pointed out lots of things on the way. A good amount of time in Corinth. We explored on our own (the boards on the site provide lots of information) and got there ahead of the coach parties. Would definitely recommend.

The trip to ancient Corinth was one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed talking with our driver Apostoles and learned so much from both him and our tour guide Christina who gave us the history of the site and shared information about Paul's time in Corinth. Apostoles drove us up to Acrocorinth and gave us enough time to make the long climb to the top of the fortress. We had not anticipated this last adventure, and it was fabulous! We definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in Paul's experiences that led to him writing the letters to the Corinthian church.
