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

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 96 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $160

Review of a private half-day tour from Athens to Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Apollo Temple, Acrocorinth, and lunch.

“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…”

Review of Athens’ private half-day taxi tour, with Acropolis visits, ancient monuments, hotel pickup, guide quality, pricing, and practical tips.

“Every stop our driver recommended was top notch. The only issue we had was the directions for pick up provided by Viator. We were instructed to walk quite a ways for pick up when our driver was literally sitting in front of our ship. A quick phone call and she found us and we were on our way. The car we were in just the 2 of us was a new Mercedes. We saw many sites but the highlight for this trip was the changing of the guard which the driver recommended.”

“The story is very simple. School lessons make you fall in love with Greece of the past centuries - the cradle of world culture and traditions. But more importantly, the people. It is they who create the mood and impression of what you see. We didn't get bored on the road - in very decent English, Makis talked about the country and people, about the past and the present. Thank you, Makis, we saw Sparta as it was, is and will be.”
