A pleasant day with not too much travelling. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a varied feast of Greek mythology, Greek history and Christian bible history during the day. Nafplio was very pretty and was a nice stop after Corinth.

A really good value tour to see Ancient Corinth and Nafplio. Liz, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about Greek history. You really couldn’t get a better guide - even down to her voice that was pleasant over the coach intercom. The tour started at 8:45 and we returned at around 6. It’s a very pleasant day seeing the canal at Corinth, the museum and ruins followed by lunch and a stroll around the back streets of Nafplio before returning.

Wonderful day trip from Athens. Company greeters (blue umbrella corner) were cheerful. Tour guide who accompanied us on the bus (? Anastasia) was very polite and knowledgeable and gave thorough commentary. She gave excellent information at Corinth Museum & included Biblical details of Apostle Paul’s time in Ancient Corinth. Lunch in Nafplio was delightful. Wish we could have stayed a couple hours longer. The Driver - Thanos was skilled and very courteous. We recommend this tour.

Amazing trip! Definitely recommend! Our tour guide provided thorough information throughout the trip, was incredibly knowledgeable, and she had the sweetest and gentle personality. Our driver was careful, friendly, and very punctual. The bus was clean, premium, and well equipped (adjustable air above the seats, overhead bins for bags, and USB chargers near the legs. The break at the Corinth Canal was perfect for a bathroom break as well as getting pictures of the canal. The longest part of the ride without stops is 2 hours (on the way back to Athens). The tour guide helped us visualize what Ancient Corinth could’ve looked like while touring the site. Nafplio was completely amazing, and I wish we would’ve had a few more hours there! Beautiful and charming! Being able to walk through the city, by the gulf shore, and browse the seemingly endless choices of great restaurants/cafes was a wonderful end to the day!!
