Bravo Crispy Local! - Our driver Giorgos was amazing and so knowledgeable. The ride was safe, the vehicle was clean and he was very courteous and made a great suggestion for lunch. Once we got to the ruins we met Vera. She was very bubbly and sweet and made Corinth come alive. She transported us back in time as she was balanced in teaching us about the archeological, mythical and biblical aspects of the ruins! Truly amazing day in Corinth!

Well, worth the trip - We had a wonderful time. George was a great driver and he gave us lots of good information about Greece and about Corinth. We loved our time there and in the drive as well. The sight of an ancient Corinth and the museum was a highlight.

Relaxing trip to Corinth - We had a great trip to Corinth. Our driver, Anthony was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had about this beautiful area of Greece. It was low key and relaxing. Exactly what we were looking for.

Great climb up the Acrocorinth - We very much wanted to visit the Acrocorinth. That is spectacular, but you need to be in decent shape - there is a fairly challanging slope at points but the view is worth it. We asked our dirver to skip the canal and head there first so as to avoid some of the heat. He was very accomodating. Excellent driver, knowledgable and pleasant. The canal is worth a 3 minute stop, but not much more - ancient corinth is not in great shape though the very small museum had some interesting exhibits and information about corinth. So glad we stopped at both ancient corinth and the canal, but climbing the acrocorinth was what made it worthwhile. The tour company was easy to deal with, very nice car, very nice driver.
