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.

Great experience visiting Ancient Corinth with our family! - We booked this trip a few weeks in advance and were pleased to get Terry as our guide as he's had quite a few, well deserved, shout outs in these reviews. He promptly picked us up from our Air BnB near the Acropolis and was flexible on pick-up times. Once we started, it was clear Terry had a lot of knowledge of the area and of its history. He made a couple of impromptu stops for pictures and places of interest to us. While he wasn't able to join us on the actual tour of Ancient Corinth he did a great job preparing us and giving us directions for what to see. Overall we were pleased with the experience and our kids (ages 14 & 17) also said it was one of their highlights. I would gladly recommend Terry and CAT Taxi to anyone interested in a tour!

Great Tour Company - After much research, we booked with CATTaxi for a private/custom tour of Ancient Corinth and Corinth canal cruise. Terry responded immediately to my request for information and he agreed to add the canal cruise to our itinerary at no extra charge (except the cost of the cruise fee). His prices are reasonable and we also booked a pick up at the airport in Athens when we arrived. He sent back a very professional and detailed confirmation with a confirmation # which made it easy to communicate with him. Unfortunately, my husband’s auto-immune disease made it unadvisable to travel at this time so we had to cancel our trip. When I communicated this with Terry, he did not hesitate to issue a full refund and wish my husband well. It is no wonder why CATTaxi gets such good reviews. We will definitely be going to Athens and we will rebook this itinerary with CATTaxi.

Excellent - I am 64 and travelling with adult son for support as I have trouble walking long distances (heart problems ) and osteoporosis and knee foot problems so find stairs and uneven ground difficult to walk on. Terry went extra mile and upgraded us at no charge to a minivan for my comfort. So much easier to get in an out off. He was friendly, informative and extremely helpful. He arranged us a guide, at our cost, for the ancient city of Corinth. He arranged on who would be happy to take me at my pace and he arranged to meet us at exit rather than making me walk up hill to meet him. Would thoroughly recommend CATTAXI for a tour. And to Def hire a guide for the ruins.

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.
