A beautiful day trip to Corinth with a friendly driver. - Our driver, Thanasis, was very friendly. Shared interesting history about buildings and areas we drove by. The sights we saw were beautiful! After climbing up as high as we could manage at Akrokorinthos, he had the AC waiting for us. A great day trip and great guide. Definitely recommend

Corinth but so much more - I took this tour because I wanted to see Corinth but didn't want a very long day going all the way to Nafplio as well. It meant having to book the 2 person minimum despite being a solo traveler. Fortunately, Thanasis made it a great trip, with so many stories, not just about Corinth but also Greece in general. He was flexible and kind, and I got a more personal sense for the Greek sentiment than you would get from dedicated tours.

Excellent tour - The private tour allowed our group to tour these sites at our own pace. Our driver provided us with information on what we would see but could not guide us through the sites.

Great way to fill time between cruise disembarkation and hotel check-in. - This was an excellent way to spend the morning after arriving back to the cruise terminal before being able to check into our hotel in Athens. If you enjoy hiking more than museums, I recommend spending less time at the museum and more time exploring Acrocorinth.

Corinth Half Day Tour - Alex gave my husband and I a wonderful tour of ancient Corinth, the canal, and the Corinth acropolis. Alex was very knowledgeable, communicated with us well, and allowed us to take our time and focus on the parts of the trip we were most interested in. He showed us a delightful lunch spot with an amazing view! I would absolutely recommend Alex’s tours to other visitors.

A Must See in Greece - This is a must see in Corinth. Would also be accessible with your own transportation but would not get the narrative from your guide. Enjoyed the ancient ruins of Corinth and the museum. The walk up the Akrocorinth castle (free) was a bit challenging but enjoyed the view. Sometimes just easier to let someone else drive with lots of departure time options.
