This was a great tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. We were gone for around 10 hours. The first hour or so was on the bus getting out of Athens with the traffic. The guide was speaking about different things while we drove. We stopped at the canal and took some pictures for about 30 minutes. We had the opportunity there to buy coffee and pastries at the stop, and to use the restroom. Then we drove another 30-60 minutes to the site of Ancient Corinth and toured there with overear headsets. Again, our guide was great. We are Christians and this was our motivation for booking the tour, so staying a bit longer here would have been nice. We were at the site and museum for an hour, almost moving through the entire time. Both the site and the museum are great. We rode for another little while to Nafplion and had a tour of about 20 minutes. Then, the time was free for lunch and sightseeing. The city is beautiful. We packed a picnic lunch and did not spend as long on dining, so we would have been content to leave here 30-60 minutes earlier. We were there for 2.5 hours total. There are no public restrooms in the city. We had a nice ride back into the city with our guide occasionally jumping in to share more information.
A nice day trip from Athens

This was a very good and informative tour. The bus was comfortable, the guide presented lots of historically relevant information, and the combination of the canal, the ancient Corinth site, and Nafplion was just the right amount for a manageable day trip.
History and shopping afterwards.

Some walking on rough surfaces and a long bus ride. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Canal was not worth the time but the ancient city of Corinth and the town Naptpoli were good stops.

Our tour was cancelled 48 prior and we had to scramble to schedule something for this day. We were caught by surprise as we had looked forward to this opportunity.
