Michael was very knowledgeable and took our goals of learning more about Paul's 1st Missionary Journey into account completing the Tour. He also has a very nice car.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience! It is an absolute pleasure to know that we exceeded your expectations and that you had a memorable time with us.
Be ready for this 8-9 hour Adventure. It was very informative and such an eye opening experience into the life of Apostle Paul. Our guide Bruce was exceptional and well versed in the knowledge of Grecian Culture. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a great experience with Michael. He was an excellent driver and shared a lot of knowledge about Greece and the sites we visited.
Excellent experience. This tour was more than we expected. The tour was for just my wife and I, so we had the full attention of the tour guide/driver. Our guide was Ruslan, a born and raised greek national. His english was perfect!. He was very corteous, helpful and knowledgeable of the places we visited and the history behind them. He was able to answer any question my wife and I asked him. He went the extra mile and drove us to souvenir shops, to a local restaurant to have lunch. We were able to visit every place mentioned in the itinerary. Ruslan picked us up at our hotel at 7:30 am sharp. By 2 pm, we were returning to our hotel. Instead, we asked if he could drop us at a local restaurant to eat what the locals eat, not the tourists. He made recommendations, we chose the place, he programmed his GPS and there we went.
Highly recommended !! To walk where the Apostle Paul walked and to visit the ancient city of Corinth was a very nice spiritual experience.
Walked where the Apostle Paul walked and experienced a taste of the times in which Paul lived. Our guide pointed out and helped interpret appropriate ruins. Careful driver.
We enjoyed our excursion with our tour guide Yannis. It was a nice to experience the footsteps of Paul in Athens and Corinth. Lot of walking on uneven payment. Wear comfortable shoes. It was a full day but enjoyed the tour.
Greece…a land of Gods and great personalities….whose influence continues rosary.
Surely, the Apostle Paul was one of those whose letter to the folks at Corinth resonates in practical ways today.
Our tour guide, Kostas (Costas), was knowledgeable and passionate about Paul and his life while in Athens as well as Corinth.
Knowing history is one thing, knowing the person of history is another.
Putting Paul in context is what I sought and George did that for me!
His care for our safety and comfort, and patience without mobility limitations was a plus.
Would recommend George…this tour.
This was a great experience. Our driver was waiting for us as soon as we exited the cruise ship terminal. We met with the guide that Coloues in Greece arranged for us at the first stop -the ancient Agora in Athens. Katerina (I hope I spelled it right!) was so informative. At every stop she shared important information whether it was mythology, history or biblical. We visited the Aeropagus, a beautiful Orthodox Chirch and passed by the Academy, University and Library or stopped for quick pictures in Athens at the Olympic Stadium before heading to Cenchrae and then on to the site of ancient Corinth. The guide even helped us get a takeaway coffee and snack in Athens and arranged a Greek lunch at the end of the day. It was a full day but we saw everything about Paul and the area between Athena and Greece that I hoped.
We loved this experience. Lots of history and archaeology brought to life by an excellent driver and guide Yannis. There is some walking on rough ground so noot great iif you hhave mobility issues. In June it is hot. The complimentary water was a thoughtful touch.
A great tour walking in the footsteps of Paul in Athens and Corinth. Giannis our guide was attentive and down to earth. His explanations of the historical contexts were also clear and concise. Highly recommend!
Our driver was here and waiting at the scheduled start time was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this adventure and would recommend it for anyone who has an interest in Greek culture and history. If six stars were possible I would give them!
We had a great experience with Fortis. He was knowledgeable, very personable and he made sure we are comfortable the entire trip.
We booked this tour through Viator. It was an all day tour and we had an excellent tour guide, Karas. He was very knowledgeable and took us to many places in Athens and Corinth.
This was a wonderful way to see more of Greece outside of Athens. We enjoyed each stop that was informative, interesting and really gave us a fuller picture of Greek life during the life of Paul. We were able to see unique sites and have really interesting experiences. Highlights were the Greek Orthodox Service, Corinth Agora and lunch atop Acro Corinth. Once in a lifetime day! Ruslan was kind, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see more of Greece!
I can't say enough GREAT things about this tour. Ruslan was absolutely incredible. Best guide ever and we have done a lot of guided tours. The day began in Athens seeing the Agora, Haphaistos Temple, Areopagus. What was great was to have Russian explain what we were going to see and what to look for and then give us the time to look at things at our own pace. We learned a lot and connected with what we were seeing. Then we headed to Ancient Corinth and we were blown away. Ancient Corinth is such a beautiful town. We got to see everywhere Paul went. A trip highlight was hiking the Acrocorinth. Get ready for an incredible height and the view from the top is something that will never leave you. When you come down from the hill you can have a great lunch at Taverna Kastro - Castle (not included in the tour). The food was authentic, family style, delicious. You will not be dissapointed. Then there is more... You will visit the street that Paul walked from town to the port, you will see a Basilica with a beautiful Mosaic Mural and you will end with a visit to the Isthmus of Corinth.
All in all this tour is worth every penny. Ruslan will ensure your needs are met and his knowledge of the areas will meet your expectations. It is also important to say that you will leave with a very intimate knowledge of Paul during his time in Greece. This tour is fantastic and above the rest - not a cookie cutter experience.
I can't wait to do the other tours Russian offers (Colours of Greece). You will nor regret booking any of his tours.
