Excellent Biblical History Tour - The driver and guide provided by Private Tours Greece arrived for pick up early. The driver was dressed in a suit and the guide was professionally dressed. We discussed the order of the trip and we highlighted our goals. Over the course of the nine hours we saw every landmark and site we expected and more. The guide was with us nonstop and answered each and every question posed. The guide understood our goals and highlighted very specific items that were of interest related to Apostle Paul's story from ancient Corinth to Mars Hill. We saw the Tomb of the Unknown, the Olympic Stadium, Aristotle's Lyceum, Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Agora's, Acropolis Museum, Acropolis, Plaka, etc. Between the driver and the guide, our day was full and no time was wasted. One of the best tours we have been on! From content, sites, and guide/driver, a must do activity if you are interested about Biblical History in Athens/Corinth.

Walking the Footsteps of Paul in 2024 - The views were amazing. It has been three weeks since we have returned, and I am still in awe of the many experiences looking through photos. Our driver, George, became like family. He was kind and gifted. Our guides were very informative. There were a couple hiccups along the way which were addressed quickly and to our satisfaction, Effie is very attentive to our needs and requests. I miss it already! My only negative, if I had to search for one, was to have more biblical scholar teaching, the guides were well versed in history but I would have like more scriptural references.

It exceeded our expectations ! - The best part of having a private tour is the interaction with the guide and also allowing the guide to sense the interests of the group. Large groups make this more challenging or not an option. Maria, our guide, did this exceptionally well. She is a really great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and personable. Her interaction with people in our group, (3 couples), answering questions and asking us questions, was really exceptional. I highly recommend her for this tour. We learned a lot about Corinth, St. Paul and the Acropolis without it being too much. Our ability to listen to excessive detail was diminished, having been on tours for the past 9 days. The pace she guided our group was perfect. The information was interesting but not excessive. The coffee stop and restaurant recommendation were great choices. Maria was one of the best tour guides we had during our 12 day vacation. Dimitri was our driver. He was very good too. He drove a lot and we never were concerned about his driving. He was pleasant and flexible with an additional stop between Corinth and Athens. And he was always ready and waiting for us after each stop. I am also very appreciative for all the work Effie and Eleni did customizing this tour. They were very helpful and accommodating with every question and request. I highly recommend this company.

Spreading the gospel & the beginning of good democracy - We were emotional when we stopped at the seashores where Paul got into the boat to leave Corinth to Ephesus. What a life! We were also touched to sit right on the areas where he first preaches in Athens and the gospel truly spread to the important areas of the world from there.

Not enough time - Despoina and Yiannis were both knowledgeable about biblical history of Athens and Corninth. They were also very accommodating for our elderly parent's mobility issues. Their English was good and they both had credentials that enabled them to give us an informative tour. The trip was great but there was not enough time to enjoy both Athens and Corinth. We were rushed due to traffic and having to make it back on the ship. The communication with the office via text was slow, maybe because of the weekend? This left us feeling stressed about the administrative part of booking the tour. However Effie reached out to us and assured us.

Corinth Trip! - We had a wonderful time. Learned so much! It was awesome! It was so cool to see the places I’ve only studied about.

Amazing tours for our trip to Greece....Athens and Corinth - I just wanted to send out an amazing review for our driver and guides we had for the two days of May 16th and 17th, to Meteora and the Acropolis/Corinth area, respectively. George, our driver for the two days, was fantastic. His driving skills were safe and knowledgeable. He added a personal touch, was courteous and funny. I felt our time with him was a friendship that was growing. He picked us up in Athens right on the agreed upon hour and off we went, stopping along the way to see where the Battle of Thermopylae occurred, gave us time for stops and got us to where we needed to go on time. Our trip to and back from Meteora was a long one. He continue to provide information for us and drove us safely back to our hotel. Our guide, Dominique, met us at the top of the Great Meteoron Holy Monastery. She was enthusiastic, kind and friendly, and helpful in seeing to it that we got the service we needed. We had the delight to meet her husband, also a George. They suggested the second monastery to visit. It was perfect for us. I love art and the frescoes as well as the history and spirit that was at the Agios Nicholaos Anapafasas monastery. It was a very special place. Afterward, they took us to see the monastery built in the side of the rock mountain and to a very special spot that was a favorite of theirs. I highly recommend them both. I would definitely request them on our next visit. Our next day was a fiasco because of my stolen purse, but George and Dora were prepared to help us in every way. After a beautiful and very descriptive tour of the Acropolis and its buildings, our wonderful guide, Dora, took us down to see Mars Hill. It was there that I had my purse stolen. Dora was right on it. She was quick to contact the Acropolis area police who came quickly to ask us questions and try to help us. Next Dora and George drove us to the police station where we filled out a police report. She interpreted for us and helped us to understand the questions. Then proceeded to get online on her phone to find the contact for the US Embassy and helped us learn what steps we needed to take to get our passports replaced with emergency passports. She was so concerned we didn’t get to finish our whole tour she was willing to meet with us the next day to discover the Agora. Unfortunately, we were buried in filling out forms, waiting in line at the embassy, and getting our actual emergency passports. We are so thankful for her! We couldn’t have done it without her direction, care, and kindness. George continued to provide us with a smooth ride and his friendly self. We too, were so thankful to him for being part of our journey in beautiful Athens and surrounding areas. I will request him next time as well! Thank you for this great adventure.

Fabulous Tour of Greece in the Footsteps of Paul the Apostle - Our group of 8 persons enjoyed a truly remarkable custom 9 day tour of Greece with 1 day in Skopje, North Macedonia. On five of the days we had expert tour guides who, to the person, genuinely enjoyed showing us their areas. Our driver (Christos) went out of his way to make us feel welcome and cared for. The staff at Private Tours Greece was exceptional. They arranged every aspect of the tour including helping us navigate all the COVID requirements. This was important to us because several in our group could not be vaccinated due to health reasons. They provided locations of testing sites and even went as far as scheduling appointments for us!

Corinth very interesting! - Experiencing Paul’s footsteps. I would suggest to anyone else to book an escorted tour. Our driver was fabulous and did his job very well, but we would have enjoyed narration by a guide.

Never showed up! - Such a disappointement to be up and ready to have our driver never show up. We spent two hours of our vacation just trying to find a supplement. Yes we had a driver, but we lost our tour guide and feel we missed out on so much. Reimbursement wasn't nearly enough. will not recommend viator to anybody.
