Theo was excellent in his knowledge of the area and history of the places visited. His driving was safe as he navigated the countryside and the city alike.

Amazing experience. Our driver Anthony was kind and had great knowledge of the reign and sites. We enjoyed learning more about Corinth and the ancient history. We were not rushed at any of the locations and were able to soak in all the sites.

We had a wonderful time. George was a great driver and he gave us lots of good information about Greece and about Corinth. We loved our time there and in the drive as well. The sight of an ancient Corinth and the museum was a highlight.

We very much wanted to visit the Acrocorinth. That is spectacular, but you need to be in decent shape - there is a fairly challanging slope at points but the view is worth it. We asked our dirver to skip the canal and head there first so as to avoid some of the heat. He was very accomodating. Excellent driver, knowledgable and pleasant. The canal is worth a 3 minute stop, but not much more - ancient corinth is not in great shape though the very small museum had some interesting exhibits and information about corinth. So glad we stopped at both ancient corinth and the canal, but climbing the acrocorinth was what made it worthwhile. The tour company was easy to deal with, very nice car, very nice driver.

It was a great day in Corinth. The ancient ruins, the canal and the acropolis were all very worth visiting. Our guide, George, help make the day very memorable. He was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to spend the day with.

My family and I had a great trip. Alex was nice and easy to understand. He was good company and knowledgeable. I would definitely suggest hiring the private tour guide to walk you around the sites. It was an easy and relaxing half day trip.

Incredible tour. Nick was a knowledgeable guide. Learned a tremendous amount on the way to Corinth, and he tailored the trip towards our interests. Acrocorinth and the archeological site were incredible, this could be converted into a full day trip. There was a lot to see, and it was one of the more memorable trips in Athens.

This trip was one of the best we did while in Greece. Our guide was Harry and he was so nice and accommodating. It would have been good to have had an audio guide, but we didn't see how to do that when we purchased our entrance to Ancient Corinth. Please be aware that if you are not in Athens and you request pick up there will be an extra charge. The reservation page does not alert you to this. We were charged after the fact, but given the choice to decline reservation. Owing to the gas prices, it was totally reasonable for the extra charge.

Fabulous tour! George was an excellent guide, and he has a good sense of humor. His English is very very good and his accent is understandable. He also has an amazing knowledge of history as well as all things Greek. His driving was good, not scary and not slow.
I didn’t think I wanted to go to the canal, but it was incredibly interesting and we learned so much about it from George.
The only downside is that the tour description says that a guide can be used at Ancient Corinth. I thought that meant we could get one there at the museum, but it must be arranged beforehand, so let the tour company know if you want that when you reserve the trip. It was confusing without a guide, but that was not George or the company’s fault.
All in all, a wonderful morning!

As we are Christian, going to Corinth is our target. We had a private tour and our
tour driver Nick is a very nice young man. His driving skill is very good and the car is very comfortable. We went to all the places as scheduled and added a spot as we requested. A wonderful trip and a wonderful driver.

No hassle stops, however next time I will get a tour guide as you need that to understand the ruins in Corinth.

Our guide, John, was personable and very welled versed on history, various sites, current Greece. Great sense of humor and engaging. Incredible ruins, beautiful country-side. One site was unexpectedly closed, but John went the extra mile to provide an impromptu stop at a site not originally booked. We were allowed plenty of time to explore and experience ancient and modern Greece which is exactly what we hoped. Spent lots of time with us answering questions, and we feel that we received VIP treatment. Heartfelt thanks to John. Excellent tour, outstanding guide!
