To walk where Paul walked

5.00If you are interested in the learning the history of Corinth and its importance in early sea trade, you will enjoy this tour. Imagine life for merchants ships hauling goods over the 4 mile wide isthmus between the Ionian and Aegean Seas before the Corinth Canal was cut. Our guide, Yannis, was extremely informative in making history come alive. Likewise, if your interest is learning more about the Apostle Paul's time spent in Corinth, Yannis really made the Bible come to life; walking the streets of ancient Corinth where Paul walked was awesome. If you are able, you must climb the Acrocorinth (a very steep and rocky hill) for the amazing views! Wear sturdy shoes with gripping soles as the rocks can be slick, with no handrails. Note: this is a long, 8-hour day; however, there will be a stop at a lovely Greek restaurant (not included). Our group of 8 really enjoyed Yannis, and the day.

5.00We disembarked from our cruise ship and met George in the port. He was gracious about finding room in his trunk for all our luggage (in the rain) and then we were on our way. We were looking for a biblical tour to ancient Corinth and he was fantastic. Updated us on history, was entertaining and funny and polite. We saw the isthmus canal and then sights on Ancient Corinth. It was a great day!
Highly recommend

5.00George was a great driver and guide! He gave us history of Athens on our drive to Corinth. Then in Corinth provided info and then lots of time to explore each stop. Made a special trip to a recommended bakery so we could grab some fresh treats for later.
Wonderful Tour

5.00We had high expectations, and Yannis exceeded them all. He handled some unexpected special needs without and trouble, and since we were visiting on a Sunday, he even suggested a location in the ancient city where we could have a period of worship exactly, as we requested. I would recommend this tour, and Yannis in particular, to anyone interested in visiting ancient Corinth.
Above expectations experience. Knowledgable guide, comfortable trip and super friendly day.

5.00This tour was exceptional from the moment we were picked up. We were greeted on time right outside our hotel as promised by the friendliest guide named Peter. After quick introductions, we headed off to Corinth. The vehicle had water, cookies (above and beyond) and was super comfortable. Our drive flew by as Peter shared the history of the area and prepared us for what we were to see. Occasionally he handed us a tablet to view a map or watch a quick video for better context. From the timing to the comfort, to how he took care of us throughout the day, this was a tour to remember. Many thanks for such a great day.
Amazing experience all around.

5.00Yannis was amazing. He was friendly, polite, and very knowledgeable. He speaks excellent english as well. He was very passionated about the history and the biblical references at each site and gave great background info on all subjects to tie everything together. He answered all our questions and made our experience so special. Christina was our private guide through the Archeological Museaum of Ancient Corinth and she was excellent as well! She read verses from the Bible at several exhibits, even one very special one at the Bema in greek so we could get a feel for the poetic nature of Paul's words as he spoke. By then end of the tour, she couldn't help but give my wife a big hug as she wished us well! I can't say enough good things about our experience and how wonderful both Yannis and Christina were!
