Nikos took us around Athens, and then to Corinth, stopping to allow us to take pictures wherever we wanted. We finished the day with a snack at the top near Corinth. Nikos was very knowledgeable and friendly, and considered our needs completely. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to tour and learn about the area. We really enjoyed the day with Nikos!
Perfect Day spent in Athens and Corinth

What an amazing day! So glad that we chose this tour - especially for our first time in Athens. Our guide - Spiros - was wonderful. He was very flexible with us on timing at different spots but still made sure we got to see everything on time - especially the changing of the guards. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was patient with all the questions we had for him. We would strongly suggest this tour - and ask for Spiros!
A great day seeing the sights!

This tour was one of the most memorable of our family vacation. There were many beautiful places to visit, especially the fortress on top of the mountain, and the canal, where you will be able to see a spectacular view of the river and people bungee jumping every few minutes. Our tour guide, George is very knowledgeable, friendly, and is willing to answer any questions.
Fantastic history of ancient Corinth.

Very good experience indeed. We saw the historical facts of what has written in the new testament about the work of St.Paul in the area in 55AD. We can also imagined the hardship he experienced. We were very happy with the tour guide cum chaffeur, Mr. Constantine. He drove well and safe with good explanstion. Good car also. Fantastic tour.

Our tour guide, Nikos, in Athens and Corinth, Greece, was absolutely outstanding. His Mercedes Benz was clean and comfortable. His driving was excellent! He demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the history, architecture, and culture. Throughout the tour, he engaged us with fascinating stories, answered our questions with enthusiasm, and ensured that we experienced the highlights of both cities to the fullest. His passion and expertise truly made the tour an unforgettable and enriching experience. I highly recommend Nikos to anyone visiting Athens and Corinth.
We loved it!
