Review of a private half-day Corinth tour from Athens, with St. Paul sites, the Corinth Canal, ancient ruins, museum, and practical tips.
“Theodore was a great tour guide - gave us tons of information about the sites we were visiting as well as plenty of history about Greece. He was very friendly and knowledge and we never felt rushed at any of the sites. It was a great way to get a good overview of Corrinth.”

Review of Nafplio Sun Sail Cruises, a small-group Argolic Gulf trip with swimming, snorkeling, Greek food, drinks, and scenic coastal stops.
“We really enjoyed our boat tour. Food was excellent, great selection of drinks. The guide Dimitri was really nice and enthusiastic. The boat was spacious enough for our small group.”
Explore Nafplio on foot, from the Land Gate to Akronafplia Fortress, with local history, bay views, and Greek food tastings.
“"It was a very informative and passionate tour. Our guide was clearly proud of her heritage and shared much more than just historical buildings and events — she gave us a meaningful insight into her culture as well."”
Review of the Nafplion Mycenae and Epidaurus tour, with ancient ruins, a superb theater, transport details, costs, and practical tips.
“Our guide, Toso, was early, friendly—in fact, charming, and very proud of his country and its history. He was extraordinarily informative, and he even shared written descriptions of the philosophy and history of the sights we visited. We all came away from our tour with far more knowledge and appreciation of these sights and the town of Nafplion. For all intents and purposes, this was a private tour, because the four of us were friends traveling together. We did not have to stop at other locations to pick up others. Excellent!”
