Wonderful tour of ancient Corinth

Everything we saw was just beautiful. Adonis, our guide was awesome !! he sincerely wanted to be sure we saw what we wanted to see, and took a great deal of care explaining things to us. The Little restaurant near Acrocorinth was very quaint and the food was excellent. My friend has some mobility issues, and Adonis went out of his way to be sure she could still experience a wonderful tour. We would highly recommend you again, and would surely recommend Adonis to anyone as a tour guide.
