Very scenic and majestic views of the Greek landscape. The real gem of this tour is the olive oil tasting which is especially eye-opening and enlightening. You will never taste olive oil in the same way again (I mean this in a good way). The driver Anthony was very friendly, knowledgeable and conversable! Excellent trip and well worth it.

Our driver was waiting for us outside our hotel on time! The car was clean and comfortable. There was water and a local welcome gift snack. We enjoyed seeing the Corinth canal and the ancient ruins of Corinth. The olive farm tour and tasting was fabulous and the driver arranged everything and kept us on a perfect timely schedule. Our driver was local and knowledgeable and answered all our questions about Greece and traveling etc. He took us to a nice restaurant for lunch and returned us to our hotel. Wonderful experience!

Great Day! George was awesome, shared interesting info about the area. We saw many wonderful sights( Ancient Corinth, stop for lunch & some shops, museum, Corinth canal and our highlight was the Olive oil experience. Loved seeing the olive grove, seeing the machines & learning about the process of making olive oil. Cool VR component to be a part of the experience and fabulous olive oil tasting & learning about different types and what to look for in choosing & tasting olive oils. Highly recommend visiting Markellos a 4th generation run family Olive business.
