Private Biblical Ancient Corinth Tour from Athens

Meaningful experience!

We had a great experience with our driver Alex! He picked us up promptly at our hotel and provided lots of easy conversation and history on the trip over to Corinth. He was very kind and patient with all of our questions, and also gave us tips on navigating Athens along with restaurant recommendations (Dopios, Lukumades)! Alex allowed us to spend as much time as we wished at each site, to really tailor the experience for ourselves. The archaeological museum of Corinth is the perfect size, not overwhelming, to immerse yourself in the history of the site. It's an incredible feeling to wander and be in the same space that Paul was so long ago. We also climbed to the top of the Acrocorinth, which gives the most incredible views of the surrounding area and countryside. We finished with a stop at the ancient port of Kechries, where we were able to stand in the Saronic gulf, and see where Paul left for Ephesus. Great experience overall, highly recommend.

Wonderful, Meaningful trip

Our guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions! He brought to life the entire experience and encouraged us to take as much time as we wanted at each site. He also helped us navigate general questions we had about visiting Greece and the busy capital Athens for the first time. At the end of our tour, he took us to the port of Kechries, where Paul left for Ephesus, and we had a great experience standing in the waters of the Saronic Gulf.

wonderful

Our tour guide was amazing and personal!! Petros Nikitas was wonderful! Petros was very informative patience and kind.

Perfect day trip from Athens!

Our guide, Nikos, was punctual, well dressed and immediately set us at ease. As we left the hustle and bustle of Athens, we settled in the comfy seats of the Mercedes van. Nikos provided us with info throughout the drive and answered questions. We visited the canal, ancient Corinth, a beautiful mosaic mural for St Paul, the acrocorinth, and had lunch by the sea. Nikos even shared his favorite coffee spot once we got back into the city. When booking via Viator, I was a tad hesitant due to the low number of reviews on the site (8). I needn't have been worried! We were so glad we'd taken a day to do this. Well worth the expense.

Long Day

Our driver was on time and cheerful. The van was older, A/C did not work well in the back, and had no WiFi. Since we were an older group, we would have skipped the AcroCorinth as it was a steep, rocky and slippery, long path to the top. No one who attempted this made it to the top because it was closing. I would not have called it a “Biblical” tour. Our drivers accent was very thick. Even though the restaurant he chose for us gets great ratings and was authentic, it was not to our taste. We didn’t eat lunch until 4.

Great tour!

This was one of the most wonderful experiences we’ve ever had on a tour. Billy was an amazing guide, and not only did we see even more sites then were in the description, we ate lunch at this lovely restaurant on the beach, family owned, and delicious! Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful day in Corinth and surroundings.

We had an excellent driver and guide. Nikos. He was punctual, and professional. He was very accommodating, giving us enough time to enjoy everything, as well as respecting our space to explore. Visiting Corinth was a wonderful experience and even though it was a lot of driving, we felt very safe in his care… will certainly recommend him to others. He was also extremely knowledgeable and shared his passion for the history of his country. Thank you Nikos.

Great Day Trip to more rural Greece

I was fortunate to take a tour to Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth with Apostolos, who was an excellent tour guide. He pointed out interesting sights, gave history along the way, and was great at answering questions. It was a very relaxing time schedule, no need to hurry. The views of the Isthmus Canal were amazing. It was great to get away from the big city of Athens, out into more rural areas. I was sitting maybe 12 feet from the shoreline while eating lunch literally on the beach at a lovely table - great food, fabulous view. I’d highly recommend this 8 hour day trip!

What a blast thanks to the driver!

Alex went above and beyond our expectations! Not only was he punctual, but super informative and a great conversationalist! We highly recommend using him while traveling in Greece!

Corinth!

Dimitirous, our driver, was fantastic! Very knowledgeable! Lots of fun!!!. Highly recommend!!! He even worked on his day off to take us on this tour.

Heavenly!

Absolutely fantastic day! It felt like a whole holiday in a day and made lifelong memories ‘following in the footsteps of St Paul.’ Our driver Apostolos was superb; a truly delightful man full of knowledge, courtesy and flowing conversation. He made sure we were satisfied every step of the way and removed all the stress of travelling to incredible places off the beaten track. This is not something we could have done via public transport and was worth every penny. We visited the Corinth Canal, the Dionys, Ancient Corinth, the castle of Acrocorinth, St Paul’s church and mosaic and the port where St Paul left for Turkey. Read Acts 18 before visiting and it will all come alive. Each stop was fascinating with just the right time allocated. We never once felt rushed and Apostolos kindly took reels of photos for us! Meant we actually have some photos of us together from this holiday! Lunch was a really special treat, right on the beach next to the beautifully blue Saronic Bay. Heavenly! The only one negative thing I would point out is beware the price of the restaurant! I’ve never spent so much money on a fish as delicious as it was! Fairly sure they scammed us but was too happy on the wine and setting to question it - not the tour company’s fault! The best thing we’ve done in Athens. Only problem is now Athens itself looks ugly in comparison to what we were able to experience just an hour and a half away! Would not hesitate to recommend.

Walking in the Footsteps of Paul

Alex was very welcoming, friendly, and informative. The car ride was pleasant as he told me the important historical facts of each beautiful landmark and landscape we passed. My favorite part of the trip was being told the story of how Paul was put in a barrel, thrown down a mountain, and he survived the fall. I actually got to see that mountain, and it was truly a miracle from God that Paul did not die. I’ll have that vision and memory of visiting ancient Corinth where Paul preached forever!

Wonderful tour with Nikos to Corinth

This was a wonderful tour, and our guide, Nikos, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and made it a fun tour, even a great place for lunch by the sea. We were a group of 6 and were able to go special out-if-the way places that big buses couldn’t go. The history we saw was phenomenal.

Desde el principio la...

Desde el principio la experiencia fue muy bonita Nico nos recogió del hotel a tiempo y también nos explicó muy claramente la historia de los sitios históricos también la transportación fue muy cómoda y nuestra comida en un restaurante frente al mar fue espectacular definitivamente recomendamos el tour.
