Coming to Athens has been a dream of ours and this tour with Terry made it an amazing experience. Terry was a wonderful tour guide! He was Incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Athens and all of Greece. We were very impressed and we learned so much! The whole day was incredible and full of the most amazing views imaginable. I absolutely recommend this full day tour and will recommend to friends who visit Greece.

- Yan L0 contributionsBest guide for Athens and surrounding areasManos was the best guide for Athens and the Namea/Corinth region. He allowed me to customize my itinerary and offered many helpful suggestions how to use the time. He also helped me avoid the crowd so I could get very close shots of the guard change ceremony. Go with Manos it won’t be wrong.Written January 5, 2025
- j22t0 contributionsBeautiful Sunset and a great experience with an amazing guide!Manos was our guide. We had so much fun with him on a previous tour, we immediately signed up for this one. The ride was very comfortable. Out of all the tours we experienced, the ones with Olive Sea had the best vehicles. Manos is very informative and our whole family loved him. My daughter often gets motion sick so she asked to take a break during the drive. Manos was so thoughtful. He made her laugh and kept his calm even though we were losing time to make it by sunset. Manos even made sure we had tickets waiting for us when we arrived which ensured we did not miss out on sunset. It was a beautiful view and we enjoyed it very much. We stopped for dinner on the way home. The service was wonderful. It was a nice end to our trip.Written January 4, 2025

Petros was an amazing guide! He gave us the history of the sights along the way and was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our lunch with him in a small village and since we had spare time we walked along the seaside and learned more Greek history and culture. We will definitely ask for Petros again when we return to Greece and we know we have met a new friend!

The half day tour was a great outing to/from Athens for a change of pace from urban sightseeing. The half-day was structured well — we saw several sites and weren’t exhausted at the end of it. Well-planned breaks for snacks and bathrooms. Recommend hat + comfortable walking shoes…especially for the Acrocorinth.
Alexandros was a very professional driver and kept us safe on Greek roads. Ioanna was a wonderful guide with a great combination of expertise, historical context, and humor. They were gracious to answer all of our questions (about history or otherwise) and very friendly. We did not feel like tourists…more like a road trip with new friends!

Dem picked us up in an immaculate car & drove us to ancient Korinth. The ride was wonderful and Dem was very informative about the history of Greece, Athens, and Korinth. In addition, he fielded all sorts of questions we had about general life in Greece & was an excellent sport. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the backstory on development of Corinth canal & the sight if it did not disappoint. Continued on to Apollo’s Temple with amazing artifacts. Final stop was Corinth Acropolis which could be used as set for a medieval movie. Our driver Babis was very pleasant & knowledgeable on ancient history related to the sites. Highly recommend!

Our family of 5 booked a trip to Ancient Corinth from Athens with less than 24 hours notice. We were accommodated in a comfortable Mercedes-Benz van, which picked us up at our hotel at 9:00am rather than 8:00 as we requested, and provided with bottled water. Our driver, Panos, was very pleasant and friendly, easy to talk to, and willing to let us control the schedule for the day. We stopped at the canal, toured the ruins of Ancient Corinth (very impressive and enjoyable!), and headed to the Acrocorinth. My family wanted to hike to the very top of the citadel and Panos waited patiently while they ascended the summit and took advantage of the amazing views. Even though we were running overtime, he made sure we got lunch at a pleasant restaurant before concluding our tour. He also informed us about a 1500 year old olive tree across the street from our hotel. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!
One suggestion: if you have students with you, bring your student ID, as this reduces the cost of admission into Ancient Corinth.

George picked us up promptly at 9 AM at our hotel (we asked for 9 instead of 8 since we had just arrived the day before and needed an extra hour of sleep!). We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than George. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area informing us on dates ,etc. in Greek history as we rode to Corinth. We told him we were particularly interested in the Biblical history of Corinth and he obliged us and told us many interesting things and showed us places where the apostle Paul was during his time in Corinth. He also stopped by for us to see the Corinth Canal. This was an excellent tour and I highly recommend you ask for George to be your tour guide.

I really enjoyed this tour. We had a great guide and they took care of everything. We stopped by the canal which was a nice plus. Wandering the streets of ancient Corinth was amazing; I had a gap between the groups of tourists which allowed there to be no one there for several minutes - I took in the silence as I imagined the Paul the Apostle there walking the streets of the Agora and speaking at the Beme.
