Day in greece

The trip could be amazing but the time at corinth was too short and also Nafplio. Less time at the temple of Apollo would have given a little more time at the others. The tour guide was very thorough and kind.

Exceptional guide Irene K.

Irene K. Is an amazing guide she was non stop with information not only about the tour but the whole country! She loves her job :) we enjoyed the entire day! She even bought a soda at a shop so an elderly couple could use the restroom.

Nice day trip to a different part of Greece

Good way to see the Peloponnese if you don't want to self-drive. It's a gorgeous part of Greece, and very different from the area around Athens. The tour was well organized, and the guide was great. I enjoyed seeing the canal more than I expected. The ruins of Corinth are chiefly interesting if you want to see where St. Paul was, but the guide did a great job of explaining the site, and taking us through the associated museum. Nafplion is a pretty seaside town, it was a nice stop for lunch.
