Highlights
- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth’s isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal.

Delve into the remains of ancient Corinth, which was once a significant city in Greek and Roman times. The next destination is the historical hill city of Mycenae, where a history-rich walking tour of this robust, fortified settlement awaits you. Subsequently, journey to the legendary birthplace of Asklepios, the Greek healing deity, in ancient Epidaurus. Marvel at the awe-inspiring Epidaurus’ ancient theatre, renowned for its impeccable acoustics. An exquisite lunch will be served in the charming seaport of Nafplio, nestled in a protected bay on the Argolic Gulf.

Best tour, without a doubt - Our tour to Corinth, Mycenae, Napoli, and Epicurus was amazing. Ioannis was an excellent driver and tour guide. He had great historical and mythological stories, and recommendations for lunch. He was very personable and being native to the region gave us information from the local standpoint. Wish we had toured with him our first day so we could book the rest of our tours with him. 5+ stars!

Was a great day. - I am so happy that we took this private tour. The driver was knowledgeable, very friendly, spoke great English. He was a very safe driver and we enjoyed every site we visited. Tickets at each site are not included in the price of the tour, but we didn't find it to be an issue. We were able to move along at our own pace, and he never rushed us. It was a fantastic day.

Amazing sites and history - This tour hit some of the key sites in Greece’s ancient and amazing history. Our driver, Anthony, drove us safely from place to place, and did a great job informing us about the sites we would be visiting. His recommendation about the restaurant for lunch was spot on. The time we had at each stop was just right and well planned. I recommend this tour without hesitation

Fantastic tour, informative guide, personalized service…. Highly recommended! - Extraordinary service and flexibility shown to us throughout the experience. Pick-up location changed day before tour and we required larger SUV to accommodate our luggage which was arranged by our driver/guide. He was very knowledgeable and worked hard to plan day to avoid crowds and bus tour visits to the sites. It was fantastic that he was able to transfer us to an airport hotel at conclusion of trip and took extra measures to ensure the day met our expectations. Highly recommended!

Expensive tour, not worth it - This should have been a good experience, places we wanted to see and flexible time to explore. Unfortunately the driver was not very professional. Instead of telling us about the places we were going to see, he chose to bring up topics of conversation like personal religious beliefs. He also made several suggestive remarks to and about my 29 year old granddaughter. We chose to cut the tour short and return to Athens early.
We reported the experience to the local owner of the tour company. We have not received any response.
I’m sorry we spent our money on this tour and I hope you can avoid the same mistake.
