This tour was great with our tour guide George. He was very knowledgeable of all the historical sites we visited. We were very impressed with his driving. He managed to get us through Athens traffic safely and efficiently to get to Corinth and other sites an hour away. Very pleasant person to be with all day.

This tour begins with a ride on the Corinth Canal, which was constructed in 1893. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls.
Ancient Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, one of the most famous and visited cities of Greece. The city is located in the South West of the Peloponnese surrounded by mountains that take their name from the ancient town. The most renowned monuments are: Temple of Apollo, Bema of Saint Paul and Roman Odeon.
Acrocorinth, the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth. It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece.
The Archaeological Museum of Corinth houses a large collection of artifacts from the local site and from smaller sites in the neighboring area. 1 hour at the museum and 1 hour drive to reach our next stop
Palamidi is a fortress in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
Free time to stroll amongst the town's shops where you can buy handmade souvenirs for your family/friends and also free time for lunch. 1 hour and 30 minutes free time at Nafplio and 30 minutes drive to reach our next stop

Wonderful trip. George was one of the best guides I have had after traveling the world for 30 years. Very punctual, friendly with great historical and insider knowledge. Trip was tailored to us and was very comprehensive. Vehicle and driving was top notch. This particular trip was an amazing experience of some of the best historic sites in Greece. Highly recommended for seeing an area of Greece outside of Athens, but not too far out. I would highly recommend as an add on to a trip to Athens. Scenery is spectacular. It made our trip so much better than the typical quick trip to the parthenon, then off to the Greek islands.
Great excursion! We really wanted to see the Corinth Canal but the cruise excursion we scheduled got canceled due to maintenance on the canal. Viator had tours available and we were matched to driver Giannis who was wonderful-patient, knowledgeable, accommodating. We saw the canal and so much more. Many thanks!
My husband and I had such a great time on our tour! Our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable, personable and made sure we drank plenty of water out in the sun. This was worth every penny, to us!
Our driver was extremely kind and went out of his way to be helpful. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness.
It was a great tour and wonderful day! George was great…asking us questions so we could get the best tour!
Friendly, informative, safe. Was a great way to experience Corinth, and i would highly recommend them to anyone
This was a wonderful tour with our driver/guide Alex who is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He provided detailed info and let us spend enough time at each site. We really enjoyed the trip.
Outstanding experience. Our guide was very friendly, told a lot historical or just interesting facts about places we passing. Since we was good in timing, we had some stops for shot and look around even beyond what was expected, like the oldest bridge or Corinth Acropolis. We really enjoyed tour and i highly recommend it.
We highly recommend this experience! Truly a highlight of our 12 day Greek Adventure! Our guide was committed to giving us the best experience possible and he sure delivered! It ended up being a 12 hour day, with a variety of experiences that we thoroughly enjoyed! Our driver was so well-read and informed, sharing so much knowledge that truly added to our experience and understanding of what we saw, eventhough he was not a "certified guide". Definitely recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.
We were expecting to share a minibus, but instead had a private tour. Georgio our driver spoke excellent English thankfully and we had a really fun day as a result. Locations were varied and interesting and we didnt feel the time pressure of a coach trip. Very relaxed and enjoyable trip!
This trip was an excellent way to experience the countryside of Greece. We highly recommend this tour and our excellent limo driver Billy. He was very attentive to our needs and was extremely friendly I wish we had read up on the history or paid for a guide at each site and places we were seeing before we embarked on the long journey.
We really enjoyed the private tour. It was over 90 degrees F and it involved a great deal of very difficult walking and climbing. We found the outcome was worth the effort but it was exhausting. Lunch was in a beautiful area by the water.
Excellent tour with our taxi and tour guide Alex. Wonderful sights and rich information from Alex which added an extra dimension. We went at our own pace "Don't worry about the clock, just enjoy" said Alex, and we did. A great day and wonderful lunch in Nafplio. 10/10
Very knowledgeable tour guide. I recommend Viator! We were 6 people with this private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and all of us very satisfy this the guide. Thank you.
Our driver was very acomadating. The corinth canal was spectacular I wished we could have taken a boat trip through the canal. Nafploi was beautiful
Bill was excellent driver. 7 of us had a great time exploring the area. The whole trip start at 9am and finish by 8:30pm.
This was a great trip. Our driver, Apostolos, was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and very enjoyable to travel with. He gave us ample time at each stop and let us know the time was flexible if we needed more. Would definitely recommend.
The tour was a great experience. The ancient places we saw are marvelous. Our guide gave us a lot of interesting information. He was very friendly, willingful and patient. At each stop he let us take enough time, and he never rushed us to stick to the schedule.
Thank you for a wonderful day! Our driver, Nikos, was an excellent guide giving us great information at each stop and along the way! We were able to customize our day based on sites we wished to see. We had a fun day and learned a little something too! Thanks for making our trip easy and enjoyable!!
Contras was our driver to Ancient Corinth, Corinth Canal, Epidarus and Nafplio, he is very knowledgeable and kind He is a great driver and treated my sister and I like celebrities. If you are ever visiting Greece, Contras is the person to request!
Great trip to see some of the most impressive historical sites in the country. Our driver and guide Nikos was incredible. Not only did he provide us with a lot of information about each place we visited but let us set the pace of our tour. To finish the trip he suggested some restaurants in Athens that were excellent and made for a great dinner. We strongly recommend this tour and Nikos as a driver and guide.
Our guide, Andreas was excellent. Very personable and engaging. He was at our location early and sent a message to let us know he was here. He displayed a robust knowledge of Greek history, which highlighted our journey and made the experience come to life. Getting this information has informed me to study more fully the biblical and historical history of Greece. Thanks for a safe and enjoyable experience!
What a wonderful day touring the beautiful Peloponnese area of Greece! From our on-time pickup at the hotel in Athens to the easy drive to all the top sites along the way, this tour could not have been better. Shout out to our tour driver, Alex (LS Tours), for his genuine hospitality in showing us his lovely country. We were not rushed and visited each site at our own pace. Great lunch at a port-side restaurant in Nafplio with time to shop afterwards. The walk up to the Acrocorinth and the Palamidi Castle at the top for the best views over Nafplio were beautiful. Highly recommend!
Excellent tour. The modern canal of Corinth is actually pretty cool. Loved the theater at Epidaurus. You can skip the acropolis at Corinth (or ask the tour guide to do so), the interesting ruins are at the bottom of town anyway.
Alex is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Ancient Corinth is well worth going. We had a lovely time.
Punctual pick up by driver Alex. He is a one in a million person. Well educated, punctual, knowledgeable of the sites, good, cautious and relaxed person. The tour was well organized and beautiful places. Would highly recommend the tour/experience. Thank you ever so much.
My husband and I had our tour with Alex. It was fantastic. He picked us up timely. Alex was very knowledgeable and very flexible. He was very friendly. He pointed out places as he drove and gave us background history for every site. It was a pleasure to spend our day with him showing us around. At the end of the day he was more like a friend!! I would recommend this tour. The car was very comfortable and we felt very safe with him driving us. Kudos to Alex for his fantastic job as a tour guide!! ♥️ He gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From us!!!
Corinth, Acrocorinth and much more!!! Guide was excellent and went out of his way to meet all my needs. Thank you.
Our driver Andreas was such an integral part of the success of our experience. He arrived on time and treated us like royalty. From his first suggestion of a change to our itinerary, I knew the day was going to be great. I had planned to ask for the same change and it ended up being our favorite part of the trip. His knowledge of the history of the area made it all come alive. I totally recommend this trip. We are so glad we got to experience a part of the Peloponnese area.
Alexi was a polite, pleasant and very professional host. His conversation and knowledge of the areas we visited was outstanding.
We had a great time on the tour with Dimitris. He was fun to talk to and very kind and professional. The sites were amazing and our lunch stop was a fantastic restaurant. Definitely recommend this trip.
Exciting trip and amazing places to visit. We had an incredible day. Our driver Panos was very knowledgeable and he let us admire all the sites on our pace. See you next time Panos. Thank you so much!
