Mastering Greek Mytholgy made easy by Costa - Costa was a most fascinating guide. We ended up being the only two on the tour after we finished a Virgin Greek Isles cruise. His passion was Greek Mythology and we wish we received his explanations before we set off on our Greek Odyssey. So much of the English language and our culture is underpinned by the original Greek legends, which were paralleled in all religions. The Corinth Canal has to be seen to be believed but the highlight was to the Museum of Ancient Corinth - better labelled and displayed then those in the Acropolis museum. We we taken to the peak of Acrocorinth for outstanding views over ancient and modern Corinth and a tasty lunch at the restaurant there. Climbing up to the fortress is not for the feint-hearted but worth the effort! Costa then took us to the airport for an extra fee. The day was a highlight of our trip and I recommend anyone spending a few days in Athens to do this tour first to get a good grounding in the history and culture of Greece.

Great visit to Corinth - We had a wonderful tour to Corinth! We loved seeing the canal, ruins, and the fortress on the mountain. Our guide was Fotis, and he was outstanding! He was informative, professional, and friendly. He let us take our time at each stop, and did a great job telling us the history of Greece. We finished our tour with lunch at the restaurant outside of the fortress. Beautiful views and delicious food! Also, a great gift shop! I highly recommend this tour. It is well worth it.

Better Than Expected, Wonderful Trip - We booked this trip on short notice, just the day before, which always makes you a little leery, but this tour was beyond expectations. Our driver & guide, Petros, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. We had a wonderful trip and are really glad we booked it.

Private Guide Worth the Extra Cost! - The personal attention, consideration and interaction were beyond our expectations. Having a personally guided tour was a great decision, with no time constraints and great flexibility.

I would highly recommend... - I would highly recommend a trip to Corinth if you're in Athens! The canal, Ancient Corinth, Castle and ruins were all spectacular - I'm so glad we decided to go on this tour. To top it all off, we had a delicious meal at Marino's, which was included in our tour. George was a phenomenal guide!! He was so knowledgeable and filled our day with fascinating stories of Greek history. A+!!

It waz truly an amazing day trip guided by an amazing, knowledgable guide.

Interesting option from Piraeus port - Private tour from port if u went to Parthenon already, a bit pricey because of private driver. But still a good idea to use the day rather then waste on board, we liked the hike to fortress even more then archeological site

Overly talkative driver with no worthwhile information - Our driver never stopped talking. When we asked questions he changed the subject. He parroted right-wing racist propaganda. This made the ride very uncomfortable, in spite of the interesting sites we visited.
