The tour guide was pleasant and patient with my family. He gave us interesting information about Greek history. The Corinth canal was impressive. It was also impressive that the architecture of past still stands.

Petra_J, Oct 2024

Stefanos, Taxi Guide, so bezeichne ich ihn, hat sehr viel Interesse an Politik, der Geschichte, und hat es sich auch noch weiter belesen. Super nett und interessante Gespräche sind entstanden. Ich kann Ihnen dieses Unternehmen und Stefanos nur weiterempfehlen, es hat alles super geklappt auf zeitlich.
