Great trip with an even better guide. Peter was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He brought us cookies from a local bakery and drove us around all the sites. He was happy to take pictures for us and share his love of Greece and Greek history with us! 10/10 would do again!

Visit the Isthmus Canal, one of the most important projects of the 19th century, an engineering masterpiece, playing a catalytic role for Mediterranean trade.
Visit Acrocorinth, the acropolis of ancient Corinth, a monolithic rock 1886 ft above sea level with 4.9 miles of walls - keep and three gates. One of the most impressive and dominant natural defense fortifications today. Remains of churches, mosques, houses and cisterns together with the temple of Aphrodite that once stood can be appreciated. This is where Pegasus, the winged horse grazed. From here we also admire the Frankish tower, breathtaking views of the valley below, the Corinthian and Saronic sea. Visit Hadgimoustafa spring: a fountain built during the Ottoman empire in 1555 AD. Running water from the Upper Pieriene spring accidentally discovered when Pegasus hit his hoof trying to fly away from Velerefonte and the goddess Athena is still flowing today.
Visit the Archaeological Museum: Housing a large collection of artifacts from the local site and from smaller sites in the neighboring area we appreciate the Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman world. Visit the Archaeological site: Temple of Apollo - one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland with Doric monolithic columns, rare in the ancient world, built around 560 BCE.

We booked the Private Biblical Tour of Ancient Corinth & Isthmus Canal for two couples. Our guide was Yannis who had degrees in history and philosophy. I would book him again and suggest that others request him. He was that good. Personable, easy to understand and sensitive to the needs of our group. It was a full day packed with information, delivered in beautiful stories, shared in various locations around Corinth. I gained more insight from this tour than the previous two visits put together to Corinth. To top it off, we asked for a lunch recommendation and he took us to a delightful local restaurant right on the beach at the Aegean Sea! Could not have hoped for more from this day.
peter Kleioufis Was the best. Very pleasant and informative. Highly recommend.
The day started with a pick up at our hotel- so convenient. We were so excited to tour ancient Corinth and experience where apostle Paul stood. Our private driver and guide was Peter. He was extremely knowledgeable in Paul’s history, shared with us Greek history which prepared us for the tour. (While driving) So it made the drive go by so fast. Peter was very kind, generous and was also interested in our country. (USA) Paul gave us time to have lunch before we headed back to Athens. On the way to Corinth we stopped at the canal, bridge, and then Acient Corinth. It was very memorable and a pleasant experience
★★★★★ My wife and I had an outstanding private tour of Corinth, and much of that was thanks to Peter. Peter is a second-generation resident of Corinth with a deep love for his city, its history, and its people. From the moment he picked us up, he treated us with exceptional kindness and hospitality. He had cold bottled water available throughout the day, surprised us with local desserts and coffee in the morning, and made sure we were comfortable at every stop. What truly set Peter apart was the personal care he showed us. He opened the door for my wife at every stop, took photos for us throughout the day, and never made us feel rushed. He adjusted the pace to fit our interests and took time to get to know us as people rather than simply transporting us from one site to another. Peter shared fascinating insights about Corinth, Greece, and the local culture. His pride in his hometown was evident everywhere we went. We especially appreciated the conversations we had throughout the day. As fellow Christians, it was encouraging to spend time with someone whose faith and character were reflected in the way he served others. He took countless photos for us, offered to send them afterward, and even provided his contact information so we could reach out with questions long after our trip was over. The sites of ancient Corinth were incredible, but Peter’s warmth, professionalism, generosity, and genuine care made this one of the most memorable days of our entire trip to Greece. If you have the opportunity to tour Corinth with Peter, do not hesitate. My wife and I give him our highest recommendation. Thank you, Peter, for an unforgettable day.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide in Corinth! Peter was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history and local insight throughout the tour. He was also kind, funny, patient, and made the two of us feel comfortable and welcome. His sense of humor kept the trip enjoyable, and he answered every question with enthusiasm and care. We learned so much while having a fantastic time. Thank you for making our visit to Corinth such a memorable experience Peter!!!
I had a great day with Peter, it was one of the best tours I have been on.
We have been to Athens multiple times and wanted to explore more outside of the city. This was the perfect tour that wasn’t too far away and offer a nice extension of history and beauty. Peter was an excellent guide with abundant knowledge and life experience. I highly recommend him for any tour in Greece.
Yannis was incredible and so much more than just a driver. His knowledge and ability to share the experience were matched by his enthusiasm. He went far beyond what was expected. Christina was also excellent. The overall experience could not have been better
My tour in Corinth, Greece was absolutely amazing! The sites themselves were breathtaking, filled with history and beauty, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our tour operator. He was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, making sure we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. His knowledge of Corinth’s rich bibical history and culture was remarkable—he shared fascinating stories and details that brought the ancient ruins and landmarks to life in such a meaningful way. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like walking through history with a trusted guide who genuinely cared about giving us the best experience possible. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Corinth, and I can’t recommend this tour enough to anyone visiting Greece.
Our guide and driver, Tas, was absolutely excellent. He planned the day perfectly according to our wishes and was flexible with the schedule throughout. His way of sharing details and interacting with us was warm and engaging, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. From start to finish, Tas made us feel completely comfortable and took care of everything we needed. His car was a cozy haven, and he pampered us with cookies, cold water, and refreshments. He also took beautiful photos during the day and kindly shared them with us via WhatsApp afterwards. The whole day felt like spending time with a good old friend.

Yannis did an excellent job as our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, interesting and personable. He gave me some new insights about Paul’s journey while we were in Corinth and showed us the aqueduct and acrocorinth we climbed to the top of the mountain. And had a wonderful lunch.he made the day truly enjoyable, and I highly recommend it
What a wonderful experience, great customer service, I definitely recommend , went with the family and had a lovely time. I appreciate how he taught us and explained everything to us.
Peter did a phenomenal job, not only was he very knowledgeable and passionate about the area,which he was.He was also a very gracious host. He provided us extra towels to go swimming with from his own home. He had lots of water, Greek cookies, his lunch recommendation was excellent. We would definitely use him again.
Our private tour of Biblical Corinth and the Isthmus Canal with Peter was amazing! Peter was so knowledgeable of both the area and their Biblical significance that our understanding of the events in the Bible were greatly enriched!! Peter explained events and history clearly and answered all our questions. We now have a greater understanding of the significance of the Canal and Paul’s decision to go to Corinth! We appreciated all the videos of what Corinth and its acropolis would have looked like! Truly eye opening!! The day of our tour was hot! Peter kept us supplied with water and a cool car! He reserved a wonderful place for lunch, overlooking the old city of Corinth and the Bema seat! We had an amazing time!!!
Huge shout out to Ancient Greece Tours and our guide, Peter K. We had a fantastic time seeing all the sights in Corinth, including the canal and Acrocorinth. Peter was so good with communication, knowledgeable, and fun to hang around with. I not only learned a lot and saw some amazing things, I had fun doing it. Highly recommend this tour.
This was my first time doing a private tour, and I must say that it was the most pleasant experience! My tour guide Peter was informative, professional, humble, kind, and very accommodating. I definitely plan to use him again if I make a future travel to Greece. He took time to take many pictures and answer any questions I had. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!!!!!
Our family had an amazing private tour of ancient Corinth! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The sights were breathtaking, and the experience felt personal and relaxed. Highly recommend this tour company for families looking for a fun and insightful day trip from Athens. Thanks.
Fantastic Tour – Highly Recommend! Our family had an amazing private tour of Ancient Corinth with Ancient Greece Tours and transfers... The local guide Christina brought Paul’s history to life in a fascinating way -well worth the euros. Lunch at a beautiful village tavern overlooking the Temple of Apollo was a highlight with great food and stunning views. The service was great, and our guide was beyond excellent. Easy trip from Athens and 100% worth it. We’ll definitely book again with this company next time. Cheers.
We had an amazing time on the private Corinth half-day tour with Ancient Greece Tours. The experience was perfect, from the most knowledgeable guide Yannis, and all the sights, truly stunning. The timings were spot on, allowing us to fully appreciate each location. We were able to explore the rich history of Corinth at our own pace, and the personal touches made it feel so special. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Greece—definitely a highlight of our trip!
