What a great opportunity to be in the area where history occurred. We didn’t hire a private guide which I wish we did. Our driver kept on with telling us take our time which ended up causing us to miss out on a couple if stops.

Corinth and Paul make for a fascinating tour! Pericles, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made the day very fun. We stopped at a half dozen places, but highlights were definitely the museum and site at Ancient Corinth and the Castle that overlooks Corinth. In Ancient Corinth you have a chance to see a sprawling town from antiquity with a wonderful and descriptive adjacent museum. It's not nearly as crowded as some of the Athens sites and you can really get a feel for how life flowed 2000 years ago. The castle was remarkable (wear sturdy shoes if you plan to hike much - the stone roads/paths can be slippery and sharp), and the views were truly amazing. We spent about a half a day on site in Corinth with a meal at the end in a local seaside restaurant that was a real treat. Pericles told great stories and adapted to our pace - a very professional guide. All in, we'd highly recommend the experience.

Excellent tour. We spent the day traveling with an excellent driver, Pericles, who has been showing people the historical sites of Paul for 25 years. We visited the Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, the beach where Paul baptized Corinthians, and St Paul's Church. Pericles knows the history and details of Paul's ministry.

Our tour guide for the Saint Paul Ancient Corinth Tour was amazing. One of the nicest and most informative persons I have ever met. He helped us understand some of the original meanings of words..names...places. He went the extra step to get us into a Greek Orthodox church so we could look around - absolutely beautiful inside! There were six of us in our family. The van was spacious, clean, and comfortable. He even took us on a couple of side trips to seem some great sights. His knowledge of the history of Paul and the Corinth was amazing. He was so appreciative of us having come to visit his country. He was proud of his Greece - and rightly so.

Wow we had a great time in our Corinth trip with Constantine! He was full of history and Christ. He worked very hard to make sure we had a good time. He was considerate and patient, letting us have all the time we needed at each activity. We loved it all. Highly recommend.
