What travelers are saying
WOW! The historical information on Corinth was amazing. We felt like our history books really left out a lot of info. Our guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to address issues that were of interest to us.
Ioannis was a great tour guide showing us around Corinth. He brought us to the canal as well as historical sites involving Paul the Apostle. He was very informative and knowledgeable. We recommend this tour it was a change in pace from Athens.
The tour with Yannis was amazing. He was caring, well-informed, engaging, and a pleasure to deal with. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the canal, Ancient Corinth, the castle, the port, and so much more. The tour was everything I would have hoped for and more. Yannis never seemed rushed and made sure I had a great tour.
Yanis is the Best! He has such enthusiasm that flowed over to us. He just made scripture come alive! His knowledge of Paul and Corinth was superb.. Price for what we got was excellent. Thank you Yanis for your Agape Love , Jim & Sylvia McGarry Christine was also very knowledgeable and patient. This company knows how to pick the Best! Thank you for Blessing us.
We had a great day with our guide, George. We were looking for a biblical based tour and George covered all the bases. He had a very nice, roomy car, he was engaging, funny and entertaining and his knowledge base was impressive. We felt as if we actually walked where the apostle and others walked in ancient Corinth.
Interesting content guide spoke good English
Absolutely wonderful! Our guide was full of knowledge and passion, and made our day! This day trip was well worth it and we left feeling taken care of as well as educated. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Athens.
This was a fantastic tour. Our driver was very engaging and pleasant for the entire day - providing informative details at each stop. Adding a guide at the museum in Corinth is a must. We would have missed so much had we done it on our own. Also - lunch at the acropolis in Corinth is a must-do at Castro!
