Magnificent and awe inspiring! - Our tour guide, Spiros, was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the subject, Corinth! We were not aware of how big & deep the canal was! It was breathtaking!Spiros knew exactly how to make the whole trip enjoyable and unforgettable! It was one of the best ones that we took while on our vacation. We selected the lunch option with our tour, for which we were treated to the best restaurant that we had been to, while on this entire vacation!

Exhilarating - Our day was full of history and many things Greek. The Corinth Canal was fantastic to see and what a great building achievement this is. How it had changed things with its quick access from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean Sea was genius.
The visit to the Corinth Museum and seeing the Temple of Apollo was great, but the visit to the Acrocorinth, Upper Corinth at the ancient city was mind blowing. Massively high with views forever, it was quite a spectacle. We took the challenge to hike into the site as far as we could, but this is a massive structure and cannot be mastered in the little time we had there. All the same we did pretty well and got amazing views after scrambling up the steep and slippery stones that they used as pathways. Truly exhilarating.

Curios about Corinth - Spiros was an amazing driver, prompt, polite and provided lots of information/insights of the area, even taking us to some special spots that were not on the agenda.

Tour of Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth and Acro Corinth - This tour was amazing! Kostantinos was an excellent tour guide. He was not only very knowledgeable about the tour sites but also the Bible and Greek history. He also was well known by the locals during our travels. You must book this tour! It really brings what you read in the Bible to life when you experience it first hand. Especially when you are with a tour guide with generational experience.

Corinth - The back history on Greece provided by the driver on the way to Cornith was very interesting!! Also, the ruins were much larger than I expected. It was also nice as it wasn't crowded, so you can take your time to go thru the areas. The driver was in tune to my interests, he pointed out areas or gave me info in regards to them. Lastly, lunch was fantastic! Definitely worth the trip!

Athens Canal and Much more tour - Spiros was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable and showed us a fantastic day. We definitely will be checking out their other myAthensTransfers.com tours and go on one of their multi-day tours to see even more of Greece.

Couple from Alabama USA - Kostantinos was amazing and spoke to the level of interest that my husband and I were interested in. He gave history upon history of which has now peaked my interest which did not before. He was full of histories and cultural details which gave life to the tour. I regret that there are only 5 stars to give rating because Kostantinos exceeded them!
