Review the private Biblical tour from Athens to Corinth, with the canal, Acrocorinth, Paul’s footsteps, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 531 reviews

Explore Ancient Corinth, romantic Nafplio, local food, and Arvanitia Beach on a guided day trip from Athens with optional swimming.

“This is the second tour we booked with this company, and we weren’t disappointed at all. From start to finish, everything was organized to perfection. The towns where we stopped were really beautiful. Unfortunately, it was raining, so we couldn't swim, but we still had a great time. However, it would have been appreciated if they had dropped us off at Syntagma like the Poseidon tour, as we were all tired for the metro. Just a small note: you need to pay an additional €20 per person for the entrance fees, and when they take you to the castle, there's nothing else to do for the hour-long stop unless you…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 413 reviews · 90 minutes - 2 hours · from $30

Review of Athens Ancient Agora e-ticket and audio tour, with practical tips on entry, routes, democracy, museum stops, price, and value.

“If you get a guide and hear the stories you will benefit so much more than just walking around with your guide book. Do this early in the morning or as late in the afternoon as you can so you’re not slowly walking around in the heat. The museum is good- and air conditioned! I thought the best story was Samuel the Cobbler and his relationship to Socrates.”
