Begin your half-day tour with a private pickup from your Athens hotel or other accommodation. Hop inside your comfortable, air-conditioned executive car or minivan and admire the scenery as you travel along the coast to Corinth. Stop to see the Corinth Canal, the narrow, 19th-century canal that links the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea with Ionian Sea. Take snaps here and then continue to the archaeological site of ancient Corinth, an important trading city in Greek and Roman times that stood at the meeting point of southern and northern Greece. Here, explore the ruined temples, bathhouse, forum and theater, and see the bema — a stone platform where it’s believed St Paul once stood in front of gathered judges. Continue to Acrocorint on top of the hill. As you stroll around the sun-baked relics, stop to soak up wonderful views over the Saronic Gulf in the distance. Afterwards, make an optional stop for lunch, where you can taste Greek traditional dishes and enjoy a local wine.

This tour was fantastic! Our driver, Anthony, was kind and helpful. We enjoyed spending the morning with him! We were able to take our time at each site and we captured incredible photos! I had questions prior to arriving in Athens and this company was prompt and helpful when responding.
The experience was extremely pleasant and professional, and we definitely recommend it!

Alex was very nice. He made sure we saw all the places we wanted and was accommodating offering us time to eat, and offered other drop off locations which was very helpful given our itinerary in the afternoon!! It would have been nice to have more history and information, so we had to do a lot of research on our own afterwards. If you’re looking for a “tour” this isn’t exactly it, but if you’re looking for a great and friendly driver that makes sure to accommodate you I highly recommend!!

I had a comfortable, meaningful & impressive trip to Corinth. The driver, Mr George, is indeed polite, efficient and safe in his driving. I felt much relaxed too as George did not rush me to go quick during my tour. He even went extra mile to alight me near the Acropolis subway station as I requested. He shared many knowledge to me about Corinth. We chatted just like friends.

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!

We are so thankful for the time spent with George and our tour of ancient Corinth. George was very knowledgeable about all things Greek, and that passion radiates from him. You hang onto every word he says as he guides you through the Canal, Temple of Apollo and Acrocorinth. He knows the area so well and has made friendships that led us to incredible food at Marino’s, with a delicious meal shared and impactful service. You will absolutely not regret your time with this tour as the views are breathtaking, and the company is just as influential!

Giorgos picked us up at our Airbnb in a gorgeous Mercedes sedan. He was early and communicative. Really took the stress away and made our day absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, helpful, laidback and an impeccable driver.
Acrocorinth was our personal favourite. The mixture of different cultural eras and relics are fascinating - we could have explored there for days.
Ancient Corinth was brilliant too - recommend the museum and a restaurant called Marinos!

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.

Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and gracious with us. We were able to get some great photo’s of the canal and had a nice long stroll through old Corinth. Alex provided a lot of useful background information on the history and ‘importance of the region along with the other areas we visited. He also stopped at a pottery workshop where we met a long running family business of recreating accredited recreations of Greek pottery through the ages. A great tour!
