From Athens to Nafplio and back! - We had an incredible experience with CATTaxi. Our guide/driver was Terry. He picked us up at the Athens airport and drove us to Corinth to see some of the sights there before ending at our hotel in Nafplio. Terry was always prompt, courteous, and full of historical knowledge. He made sure to tell us what to see while we were in Nafplio. Then he picked us up at the end of our stay and took us to more ancient sites in the Peloponnese before dropping us off at our apartment in Athens. The trip/tours were seamless and well choreographed. We felt safe. Well worth the money and would do it again!

Exceptional Service – Seamless, Safe & So Worth It! - I had a fantastic experience with CAT Taxi! From the moment I landed in Athens, everything was smooth and well-organized. I booked a private transfer to a retreat near Corinth, with some sightseeing along the way, and it honestly became one of the highlights of my trip. Terry was responsive and accommodating throughout the booking process, and the planning felt effortless on my end. He was professional, punctual and knowledgeable — sharing local insights and stories without ever being intrusive. The car was spotless, comfortable, stocked with water and great air conditioning. On the return trip before my evening flight, I also arranged a full-day scenic tour that was perfectly paced. The entire experience was excellent value for the quality of service provided. If you’re traveling in Greece, I can't recommend them enough. Thank you again, Terry! 🙏

CATtaxi-- great company, great people, great service! - Top Notch tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job. We had a wonderful deluxe van and were very comfortable. I have used CATTaxi for a tour in the past and it was wonderful as well. I travel to Athens twice a year for work, and always use CATTaxi for my transfers and excursions. Terry is the best and takes great care of his customers. Use CATTaxi! You won't be disappointed!

Awesome private experience to Corinth - Sophia and the driver were amazing on our trip to Corinth visiting the canal, the ruins, Apollo’s temple, and an extra special place on the way. We had free time to eat lunch and enjoy the ancient Corinth town.

Excellent Tour - Our driver (Demetri?) was very friendly and conscientious and he pointed out extra things to see along the way. He never rushed us through the sites and gave us all the time we needed.

Beautiful archaeological site - Beautiful archaeological site in the ancient city, well maintained, not very large to visit, with attached small museum. The view of the surrounding mountains is also beautiful. It's worth it.

Ancient Corinth - Excursion was good. Ancient Corinth is a very impressive site and the museum is excellent However, the trip was expensive and, in our view, over priced.
