Dear travellers welcome!

Escape the bustle of Athens and discover Corinth, a land where myth and history meet, just one hour away. Begin at the awe-inspiring Corinth Canal, where the Aegean and Ionian seas unite through one of the world’s greatest engineering feats. For those who choose the canal cruise option, sailing between its towering cliffs is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Continue to Ancient Corinth, once a powerful city where temples, fountains, and marketplaces thrived, and where Apostle Paul spent 18 months spreading his teachings. Rising above, the Acrocorinth fortress invites you to explore a legendary stronghold tied to Pegasus, Medea, and timeless Greek myths.

Along the way, admire the countryside, coastline, and mountains of the Peloponnese, and enjoy a traditional lunch in the peaceful village of Ancient Corinth.

This tour combines legend, history, and stunning landscapes into an unforgettable day.

  • Really Great Tour with Outstanding Guide Alexander

    This tour was very enjoyable. We really enjoyed the sites in Corinth even with the heat. (Bottled waters were included and given during the tour.) Probably the biggest reason we loved this tour so much was our guide, Alexander. From start to finish he was polite, informative, funny and seemed like a friend we already knew. He told us so many stories and information about Ancient Greek mythology and Greek history that was so interesting and entertaining. HIGHLY recommend this tour with Alexander!!!

  • Wonderful day trip from Athens

    We spent the day driving with Alexander to the Corinth Canal where we took a boat trip through the canal. Then we went to the temple of Aphrodites. Then a nice Lunch in ancient Corinth and then the ruins and museum in ancient Corinth. Alexander was very knowledgeable and gave us great history and modern tips to that made the trip even more special. This is a must see day trip. 5 stars all the way.

  • Brilliant tour of Ancient Corinth and Corinth Canal

    We had the best day with Alexander. His knowledge of the history and the Greek myths brought the ancient world to life for us on our journey from Athens to Corinth. Alexander also showed us some of the Athens landmarks that we hadn’t seen previously as we drove out of the city. Corinth is beautiful and the canal cruise is a must. The canal is stunning. We followed that with a trip up into the hills to Akrocorinth and then down into the ancient city and the museum. After exploring the museum and the ancient city we had a late and leisurely lunch at a nearby taverna recommended by Alexander, then drove back into Athens. Alexander’s energy and enthusiasm made our day. His perfect English made it really easy to converse and we discussed not only the Ancient Greek civilisations, but also modern Greece and how life is for 21st Century Athenians. A brilliant day. Cannot fault it and would highly recommend Alexander and this tour. Thankyou so much Alexander!

    My husband and I had a fabulous tour with Alexander on our private tour of Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth! First of all his beautiful and spotless Mercedes Van is such a comfortable ride with huge windows to observe the outdoors from every angle. In the van he provides hand sanitizer spray, hand wipes and waters. He is a very careful driver and he made us feel very safe and at ease. His knowledge of Greece, Greek history and mythology is amazing. We learned so much on our 50 minutes to Corinth. He allows you plenty of time at each stop and is willing to show you everything to see in the area. We made a stop at this beautiful and modern place for facilities and it also gave us a chance for a great cup of coffee and pastry/ snack. We chose warm spinach pie and it was the best I've ever had. The Acrocorinth, the Temple of Apollo and the great hill and castle to explore was so interesting. What a fortress to explore!!! After that I requested to stop at the beautiful church dedicated to St. Paul with it's beautiful mosaics. He then suggested the ancient port where the apostle came in and the relics existing there. Alexander is so easy to converse with and we were amazed at the depth of his knowedge! I highly recommend a tour with Alexander. We had such a wonderful day! Thank you again, Alexander!!
