George was fantastic! He was so very knowledgeable and friendly. Funny too! He showed us everything we wanted to see and things we didn't know we needed to see but were so happy we did! We truly enjoyed this adventure and would absolutely recommend it to anybody interested in not only history but biblical history. THANK YOU GEORGE!

Excellent tour of Paul’s journey in Greece | Athens and Corinth

Kelly_W, May 2025

Lambrose was excellent. The day was packed with experiences of Paul’s journey in Athens and Corinth. Highly recommend and wish we had time for another tour with him!

This is the one private...

Erin_S, May 2025

This is the one private tour we did on our vacation and it was well worth it. George was great! He was funny, but also knowledgeable and made the day lovely. Each stop was great, but I especially loved the ancient Corinth site. Wow!

Best Tour and Emotional Response

Christy_C, Nov 2024

This was my favorite tour while in Athens! Apostle, our driver, added so much to our day—fun, professional, informative, and, did I say, fun? He even chose the best timing in the tour for us to dodge the crowds! I didn't expect the emotional response from seeing the port where Paul left for Ephesus or other spots where he preached. My friends and I especially loved the drive to the castle overlooking the Corinth archaeological site. It was so high,, but Apostle drove carefully, making it accessible to even the weakest knees. I am grateful becasue I didnt want to miss it! I think he shoudl get a bonus ! HA!

Informative, interesting and inspiring!

MrJJRMCKEE_M, Oct 2024

This was an excellent tour. The guide was very thoughtful and informative. She had considerable knowledge of the life of the apostle Paul and was able to answer any questions we had.

Great day for anyone interested in Biblical history

Steve_D, Oct 2024

We thought this tour included a guide, but it was really only a driver. Nevertheless, our driver was great and the ride was very comfortable. We were able to explore at our own pace and our driver made an excellent recommendation for lunch.

THE ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP

Sandy_G, Oct 2024

This was undoubtedly the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. George was prompt in picking us up and very professional. He made sure my husband and I had interest in seeing everything on the itinerary and adjusted the schedule according to what was most important to us; allotting extra time at the places we wanted to indulge in. He never made us feel rushed and stated over and over again that it was our day and he wanted to make it great for us. He also put us up front and very close to the Changing of the Guard (a must see)!! The soldiers literally walked right by us. He knew when and where to go to avoid the large crowds wanting to get pictures. It was truly amazing. It was like it was a private show just for us. He stopped and took pictures of us wherever we requested. He was always smiling and pleasant! And his KNOWLEDGE of the Apostle Paul was amazing!! He started giving us the History almost from the start of the tour and kept adding to it along the way. He truly filled in all the gaps. We felt like we were right there in Biblical times. We actually stood at the spots where Paul preached from. So amazing!!!

Wonderful

Ellen_H, Jun 2024

What a great day! Having the opportunity to see where Paul the Apostle walked and spoke and lived was amazing. On our own we never would have been able to find and do those things. Nikos was wonderful. He helped us understand the history and culture far beyond what we had ever heard before. I would definitely use them again.

Great tour

Matthew_W, May 2024

Our guide did a great job with practical suggestions and was well versed in Athens history. He adjusted the tour based on the best times to see each site.

Athens and Corinth made real following in Paul’s footsteps!

Jennifer_G, Nov 2023

A wonderful day following the footsteps of Paul exploring Athens and Corinth with an excellent and knowledgeable driver! The Bible and New Testament became more real and imaginable! Many treasured memories were created!

Definitely do it!

Grace_P, Jul 2023

We had booked a tour of 10: 6 adults and 4 teens Tolis our driver and unofficial tour guide was excellent picked up from hotel on time went to all the places listed where St. paul had been and was very helpful with tips on visiting other events like the changing of the guards which is a must see at parliament building. Good tour. The Corinth Canal is very beautiful Very hot in June and humid so bring water hats and sunscreen

You must do this!

Mitchell_H, Apr 2023

Wow. The knowledge and friendliness of MAKIS was as good as it gets. He is truly excited about the history of Athens and Paul, and that excitement combines with a professorial understanding and a big smile to bring Athens and Paul to life. I simply cannot recommend Matis highly enough.

We’ll worth it.

Joseph_C, Jan 2023

Our guide Spiros was great! Very knowledgeable and very personable. Was willing to tailor the trip to our interests.

Very enjoyable and informative Christian tour

Bin_L, Dec 2022

Our guide was very dedicated and knowledgeable. Spent full 8+ hours. Went out to the ancient market and civic center first. St. Paul was there and gave talk there and another place above it - next to Acropolis. Then to Corinth, stopped at the bridge crossing the canal dividing the peninsula from the Greek mainland, saw the old Corinth city where St. Paul preached at church there. Interesting place, nice views. Then saw a nice small church with mosaic wall art works. Then went up to a mountain top castle. I climbed up to the top with few tourist around. You can see the two seas on both sides of Corinth. At the end, went to the harbor where Paul departed on his way to Jerusalem. Guide went extra mile to drive down there.
