Excellent experience! - Michael was an excellent private tour driver! He was extremely professional and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease with him. He came equipped with a cooler of water for us. He showed us all the hidden gems and gave us invaluable tips. This was for the Corinth, Epidravos and Napflion tour. Thanks, Michael!!

The best day on our 14 day vacation - We booked this trip and Ed was skeptical / foreign country and being too older females traveling alone. But we lucked out and got a driver tour guide named Michael. Michael was great. He was very knowledgeable. He was very patient with us and our slow walking. He told us many things and we learned a lot about the Corinth canal, there was several other places he took us to that were just fascinating. He stopped at a church for us that was not on the tour and it was awesome. It was Saint Paul’s church in the outside of ancient Corinth Michael was great I I felt safe comfortable and very pampered with Michael. He had a cold water for us open the doors for us. He’s a very kind young man and I would greatly do this trip again. If I knew Michael would be my driver and guide. I highly recommend Michael we did not meet a new friend. I felt like we had known each other for a long time. Wishing you well, Michael and we hope to return and see you being a guide on a bus. God bless you. Your two Aunts 💕💙💕

Wonderful trip - We had a wonderful time with Kostas at the wheel. History, geography, you name it, and he knew everything! He went out of his way to explain things and in the end took us to a marvelous seafood restaurant. All in all, a wonderful day and the weather too was perfect. Thank you Kostas.

Excellent Tour!! Michael was an Incredible Tour Guide! - My family and I (a group of 6 total) thoroughly enjoyed the private tour with our tour guide Michael! Michael was very professional, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about St. Paul, Corinth, and the Peloponnese region. We saw several sites, churches, and more bringing St. Paul’s journey to life. We learned so much from Michael and how Corinthians lived and got to see some incredible temples and structures. Every site was breathtaking even the beach that St. Paul baptized one of the first Corinthians. We ended the day with several options for lunch. Michael’s recommendation was spot on - great Greek food and wine. Also, Michael made the drive from Athens to Corinth so smooth and truly connected with each of us. We felt like family by the end of the day. If you’re considering doing this tour, book it now! It’s the perfect day trip from Athens and offers you something slightly different from what you will find in Athens or any of the Greek islands. Definitely an option that rounds out one’s trip! Book it and be sure to ask for Michael!

Christos and tour of ancient sites won’t disappoint! - Christos was fantastic. He was right on time, an excellent driver and companion, and ensured the tour was tailored to our interests. It was the perfect way to see Ancient Greece while experiencing all Greece has to offer today. The car was comfortable and roomy and he provided water, juice, and snacks on the way. Just a great day!

Great trip! - Our driver took his time and kept a balance between explaining landmarks to us and letting us relax and enjoy the scenic view. He understood our interests by asking a few questions and made suggestions and recommendations for the future accordingly. He arrived early and drove carefully giving us our space and time at each stop. Andreas was Very professional and pleasant to deal with. Highly highly recommend him.

5 stars! - My husband and I had a wonderful Time on this tour. We arrived a day ahead of the rest of our group and we’re looking for something that combined ancient history and beautiful scenery -Corinth and Nafpilo fit that bill perfectly. Andreas, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and so personable. We got to chat not just about the history behind the sites we were visiting that day but also just about Greek culture and recent history. Excellent experience all around.

This is a long trip! - We’d been to Athens before and were heading there with a cruise ship so thought we’d make the journey to Corinth. But beware the experience is LONG. Like 9 1/2 hours total. Lots of driving. Chris was a very good driver. He was pleasant and friendly and accommodating. We had some nice conversation but the information we got about the sites was from an iPad Wikipedia page he had opened for us to peruse in his taxi. So not really a guide. The museums at the places we visited are a good intro so do them first. Corinth ruins are nice and the amphitheater at Ephadorus is impressive. Chris dropped us at a nice area in Nafplio to get some lunch and walk around the old town. Then we saw the view from the fortress which was beautiful! And then back again for the long drive to the port. It was a nice trip, just be aware that it is a long journey with lots of driving, and depending on your driver there may or may not be a lot of information, like a guide might provide, if that’s what you are looking for.
