Best tours In Athens - First time in Greece and my friend and I booked a trip to Delphi. Tas was our driver and tour guide. Amazing experience. We decided to book Corinth with him for our last day. Two of the best tours. Amazing experience and he made us feel like family.

Terrific Time with Tas - This is our second trip with Tess. We enjoyed the first one so much. We booked the second one with him. We didn’t really have a plan of what we wanted to see so we left it all in his hands and he delivered. It was an amazing day in Corinth and Loutraki. The old Corinth, acropolis and archaeological site were just breathtaking. Then to top it off with the delicious meal overlooking the archaeological site was cherry on the cake. Thank you to Tas for making us feel like family, comfortable, safe and lots of good laughs and treats. Thanks for another amazing day!

Unique and Memorable - In one day, we experienced breathtaking views of the mountains and seas, hiking among ancient ruins and a swim in the most perfect cove. Our guide, Peter, was friendly and we enjoyed spending the day with him. On the way to Corinth, we were captivated by Peter’s recounting of the life of St. Paul, and the significance of the pebble road that eventually became the canal. After getting the chance to stand on that pebble road, we continued to Acrocorinth, which should be on any visitor’s to-do list. The hike up the mountain was a little challenging because of the slippery rocks, but the view from the top was well worth the effort. Afterward, in the museum, we marveled at the skill of the ancient artists who created the pottery, statues and mosaics. As we strolled through the archeological site, we were shocked at how few people were there. It’s a shame that more travelers don’t take the opportunity to experience ancient Corinth. Peter then directed us to a shaded balcony table overlooking the ruins and mountains for a delicious lunch of fresh, traditional Greek cuisine. It was just what we needed to energize us for the final destination, Hera’s temple and the Bay of Corinth. Not only was the water clear and refreshing, but the experience of swimming at the base of an archaeological site was truly unique. We highly recommend both Peter and this tour. It was a highlight of our time in Greece, and we are thankful for the memories we made!

We could not have had a better experience! Well worth every second of your time and every cent of your money! - Yannis was an excellent tour guide that gave us an excellent history. The trip was thorough, yet still very relational.

Wonderful experience of Corinth and beyond - We embarked on a full-day tour led by Tas, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Our journey took us to several remarkable destinations, including Ancient Corinth, the historic canal, the awe-inspiring Acropolis of Corinth (the panoramic view from the summit alone justified the ascent), the enchanting Blue Lake, and the majestic Temple of Hera. Tas proved to be an exceptionally knowledgeable guide and a genuinely delightful person to be around. Throughout our excursion, we were chauffeured in a spacious Mercedes that provided utmost comfort. Tas also ensured we had access to water and biscuits, a spare battery pack to keep our phones charged for capturing stunning photos, and recommendations for excellent lunch and coffee spots. Our day with Tas exceeded all expectations, and the level of service provided was nothing short of extraordinary. If TripAdvisor offered a six-star rating, Tas would undoubtedly deserve it!

Amazing experience - This was an amazing highlight of our trip. We didn’t know what to expect and Yannis, our guide, was fabulous. He contacted me in advance to connect about pickup. And throughout the day, we provided such interesting info in an engaging way. We learned about the canal and he made the story of it come to life. Our teen even enjoyed it! We climbed up to Acrocorinth and saw amazing views. He gave us lots of info on each place so we felt like we learned a lot about Greek history and culture. We enjoyed our lunch by the sea and museum and site of the ancient Corinth. Forest fires had broken out on the other side of Corinth, which closed the road for several hours. Rather than sit on the highway, yannis took us to the Temple of Hera and let us swim for almost 2 hours. It put us getting back very late, but the alternative was sitting on the highway for hours while they battled the fire. He kept calm and kept teaching us, and I never worried. We are so grateful to him for this unforgettable day.

Skip the Private tour; take the bus tour. - This is a glorified taxi. In Greece you can be a taxi driver or a tour guide but not both. The driver takes you to the locations and gives you general information but you are on your own once you get there. At least in a bus tour you have the bus driver AND a tour guide to explain what you are looking at.
