Ancient Corinth was amazingly beautiful!

James_P, May 2024

Our driver George was wonderfully equipped with knowledge of the area we explored. Ancient Corinth was amazing and his explanations of the history of the castle was more than our expectations. Such a nice man with an immense amount of knowledge. Thank you for showing us such a good time!

An enjoyable trip to Corinth

Sheila_D, Nov 2023

Konstantin was an excellent tour guide, detailed in his explanations and doing everything he could to make sure the day met our expectations. We weren't rushed and he made sure we had all the time we needed to get the best from the locations we visited. He listened and took us to two additional sites based upon our discussion. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour and Konstantin as guide.

No tour guide

Catherine_R, Oct 2022

I thought the driver was going to be our tour guide and explain things . He just dropped us off at each place.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry we did not meet your expectations. In our product page it is explicitly stated that "Our drivers are not official tour guides, but they are knowledgeable and can provide fascinating commentary in fluent English. Although they will not enter the sites with you, they can answer your questions about the places you visit with this tour.". Additionally, you could optionally book a licensed tour guide that can accompany you to the sites, but you did not ask for one. This is also explicitly stated in our product page. You left a negative review because you thought something that is not true and does not help other travelers. We will keep doing our best to provide the best-in-class services. Thank you.

The Best Time!

Great day trip from Athens!

Marsha_M, Sep 2022

Michael was our guide and he was courteous, on time, and went out of his way to make our trip enjoyable. The automobile was immaculate and the information he shared was extensive. Michael was a true gentleman and held doors and offered assistance to one of our passengers who is handicapped. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone that is looking for a day trip from Athens.
