A must-do for history buffs - If you love history, you won’t believe this tour. Visiting the Corinthian Acropolis and hearing stories about Paul’s preaching at the agora was mind-blowing. The guide gave us just the right amount of time to soak in the atmosphere. Even the drive was filled with fun tidbits about Greek history. Just sharing my experience here—this is a can’t-miss activity when in Athens.

Would recommend! - To start, I had a great communication when I booked this tour for me and my mother. We were able to communicate even though we our flight was slightly delayed. The tour was amazing, we had a great experience and the driver was pleasant and well informed. We were lucky to have a great weather in Corinth even though we departed from Athens with a light rain. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Reliving Paul’s legacy - We spent an amazing day retracing Paul’s steps. Seeing the agora and standing on the Bema felt surreal. The guide’s stories were full of emotion and knowledge. He even pointed out small details in the ruins that we would have missed. Lunch at a family-run taverna was the cherry on top. NGL, it’s tours like these that make history come alive. Highly recommended!

Must do Tour of Corinth from Athens - We opted for this private tour because we feel like you get a more immersive and personal experience than being in a big coach tour group. This tour didn't disappoint. Communication from Colours of Greece was clear and efficient on booking and paying for the tour. The itinerary was excellent. Our very friendly and knowledgeable driver, Ruslan texted us half an hour before he was due to pick us up from our hotel to say he was on his way. This was very reassuring. He arrived on time in a pristinely clean Mercedes car with bottled water and sanitiser hand wipes should we need them. Ruslan had an amazing knowledge of everything Greek! He gave us lots of insights about Athens as we were driving out of the city to Corinth before providing us with in depth information about all of the stops we were going to make during the day. The itinerary was fascinating and Ruslan made it better because he is personable and he really understood and could communicate the history and relevance of every place we were visiting. His knowledge of Greek history and Archeology was superb. He's an absolute credit to himself and Colours of Greece.

Apostle Paul and Corinth tour - We very much enjoyed our tour to Corinth and the surrounding area. Our guide picked us up at the hotel and the drive was comfortable and relaxed. None of the stops were rushed or felt fake/forced. Compared to sites in Athens, this was much more personal and enjoyable. Rusian our guide was safe and knowledgeable even about current events (the marathon). I'd definitely recommend this tour and loved being up close with ancient history.

Can’t miss experience!!! - Ruslan was an absolutely perfect guide for our day in and around Corinth. Knowledge and love of history was off the charts but his personality and attentiveness to every detail made the day even more amazing. Powerful and moving day.

Loving the St Paul vibe - Our guide George showed us so many hidden nooks and crannies near Corinth and was completely knowledgeable about every facet of Greek life at that time. Our Colors of Greece tour hit a quiet archeological dig that nobody else was at. He gave us special knowledge from a church just outside the gates of the larger excavation site. That was helpful. We walked in the water at the ancient port nearby the ruins. The Corinthian Acropolis was awesome. What views! Lunch was amazing. We asked that he show us how Greek families are eating a meal. He took us someplace special where he knew the owner and they started slinging amazing food our way. I think my stomach is still full and it’s been two weeks :-) You gotta ask for George (Giorgio). He made it amazing!

Great Tour and Guide! - Our guide, Ruslan Gavrilis (Colours of Greece) was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He gave us plenty of time to explore each site and took us to very interesting places. We learned a lot about Greek history and thoroughly enjoyed the tour Ruslan gave my husband and me.
