This tour had high points and low points Our guide was excellent at the archaeological sites of ancient Corinth. The visit to the canal was a disappointment as the stop was touted as a washroom break. Only after getting off the bus did we realize the canal was also at this stop. Next to no information regarding the building of the canal, it’s depth or reason for its construction. I would have thought that since this site gets equal bidding in the title it would have received more time. Lunch although adequate was very basic. It would have been good to have had the option to put a lunch credit towards a different lunch This stop at Napoli was, in our estimation, 2 hours longer than it needed to be

I went on a tour with Angeliki (forgive me if spelling is wrong!) She was a wonderful guide. With a degree in archeology and abundant historical knowledge, I learned a lot. Corinth is not an arduous walk, more a leisurely stroll amongst ruins with many interesting historical stories. I had an amazing time. The restaurant we went to though was really bland. All the dish choices (sardines, meatballs, or eggplant) seemed kind of meh. And I got the eggplant: it was just an eggplant chopped into four pieces and grilled. No seasoning. No sides. Not my best Greek meal! But you can skip the included lunch and go elsewhere. Lots of cute places in Nafplion. Kudos to the bus driver! I don’t know how it’s possible in Athens.

John,our guide was very informative and kept us entertained with stories and funny anecdotes all day. Corinth canal was beautiful and ancient Corinth was good. Nafplio was a charming town and we had 2.5 hours to explore- we ate lunch and went to Bourtzi fortress from where we had excellent views of the town.
