"Exceptional Second Tour with Christy Local & George!" - "We recently completed our second tour with Christy Local and George, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed. The day in Korinth, including the captivating caves and the scenic train ride through the valley, was impeccably organized. Our guide at the ancient city of Korinth, Vera, was truly outstanding. She brought the history to life with her insightful knowledge and engaging presentation. The chosen restaurant for lunch was a delightful experience with delicious food. Throughout the day, George's attentive care and consideration for every detail made our journey truly special. We wholeheartedly recommend Christy Local for anyone seeking an exceptional travel experience. Their commitment to providing top-notch service and creating unforgettable memories is evident in every aspect of their tours."

This Tour Is a Must!!! - We had the best day with our tour guide and driver Mr. George! Seeing Ancient Corinth was amazing and the Caves of Lakes were beautiful! We enjoyed a great lunch at a local family owned tavern and everybody said this was their best lunch yet in Greece! We finished our day with the train ride through the mountains and it ended our perfect day!

Nathan- best tour driver in Athens! - From the first interaction I knew we were going to be in for a treat. Nathan reached out to confirm the tour, explained where he would meet us and was exceptionally polite. Once in the car our journey began. Nathan navigated the traffic quickly and efficiently while also telling us lots about Athens and its origins. He took us from one venue to the next always checking that we were having a good time. Nathan was extremely professional, friendly and lots of fun. We would definitely book with this company again.

Cave of the Lakes, Corinth Canal, and Temple of Zeus day trip - From the moment Giorgos picked us up at our hotel the trip was fantastic. He was personable and the 10 hour day went so fast! The vehicle was clean. He was a good driver. The sights are unbelievable. Corinth canal, the Temple of Zeus, and the Cave of the Lakes were worth the trip. Lunch was in this cute village. Food was authentic. The railway trip down the mountain was beautiful. If you like the countryside combines with Greek archeology I would recommend this day. The company was easy to book with and contact.

Amazing Experience!! - Our driver, George, was exceptional. This is a long excursion, but George was so interesting that the drives felt short. 3 member of our group of 6 have mobility difficulties, but George went above and beyond to ensure all of us always saw the most that we could possibly see and we never felt rushed. Railway ride was very fun and gave breathtaking views. Especially if you can no longer hike, I highly recommend this train. Cave of Lakes is a place of wonder. You cannot take photos in the cave. You must experience for yourself. And, of course, Ancient Corinth and the Corinth Canal were fantastic to see. For lunch, we expected a predetermined meal, but we were given menus and able to choose the dishes we wanted. All food was delicious. We were in port for the day with our cruise ship. Pick up was very easy to find our driver, and drop off was in plenty of time to be back onboard. Communication prior to our excursion was always clear and questions were answered promptly.

Must See - This excursion was a must see and one our highlights of Athens. From the Breath taking visit to the caves to the biblical visit to Corinth. Our tour guide was the best ever Yanice was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We so enjoyed his history lessons and information as we visited the sites. The train ride was exceptional and not to be missed. We highly recommend this full day trip out of Athens it’s well worth your time.

Great day - Corinth, Odontotos railway and cave of lakes - The entire trip was excellent-Corinth, the train and cave plus the wonderful lunch. However Corinth was the best,, excellent site, not too crowded, wonderful museum and lots of history that answered question like why was this place such a huge place all those years ago. Harry, our driver was very attentive to our needs and made a couple of side trips based on him listening to what interested us the most. I would recommend him to any tour group.

Amazing experience - My Greek partner and I went on this tour recently and we were both equally impressed! The experience with Mr. George was fantastic, he is very knowledgeable, and the Caves were amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an activity off the beaten path, and for anyone who enjoys delicious Greek food!
