A Trip to Remember - This tour was one of the most memorable of our family vacation. There were many beautiful places to visit, especially the fortress on top of the mountain, and the canal, where you will be able to see a spectacular view of the river and people bungee jumping every few minutes. Our tour guide, George is very knowledgeable, friendly, and is willing to answer any questions.

Fantastic history of ancient Corinth. - Very good experience indeed. We saw the historical facts of what has written in the new testament about the work of St.Paul in the area in 55AD. We can also imagined the hardship he experienced.
We were very happy with the tour guide cum chaffeur, Mr. Constantine. He drove well and safe with good explanstion. Good car also. Fantastic tour.
