Great guides for Ancient Corinth & Canal

Alec was our driver and Natilie was our guide at Ancient Corinthian ruins - both were excellent - very knowledgeable and very flexible! Im so glad we booked this private tour (6 of us). I wouldn’t do it any other way and Im so glad we took the time to go there. We ended with a fabulous setting for dinner right in the Corinthian shore. Alec even timed everything so we could end our trip with the sunset- beautiful!

Excellent tour - highly recommended!

Chris was an outstanding driver who added so much to our experience. He was very knowledgable and friendly. He gave us the right advice on a beautiful seaside lunch, and added a lot of background information to make our tour an excellent experience. Our guide at Corinth was also very knowledgable and took the time to give us in-depth knowledge about the museum and archeological site.

The grand finale

This was the final tour we had on our trip to Greece. Mikal was a great driver and guide. My friend and I both agree this to be our favorite tour! We were given a grand tour of the city and ruins.
