Our guide Kyriakos was very knowledgeable and personable. His style was a nice blend of teaching and engaging us with our questions. The teaching focused on Paul's life and ministry in Corinth. When we returned to Athens in the afternoon, we viewed the Roman and Greek Agoras and then climbed Aeropagus to finish the Pauline experience. In Corinth, we spent time viewing and learning about the Corinth canal, both the ancient and modern. We stopped at the beautiful and historic Greek Orthodox church of Peter and Paul. There is a plaque at the entrance that lists all the bishops of the church. The first three we see are St. Paul, Apollos, and Silas. So cool! We visited the historic site of ancient Corinth, including the bema where it recorded that St. Paul was brought before the tribual with proconsul Gallio. We had a delicious lunch with a view of Corinth and the surrounding area. This was a wonderful day trip from Athens. Our pick up was at 9 am and finish time was around 6 pm. Since this was a private tour, this was customizable.

Amazing experience!!! We enjoyed it tremendously. Ouse driver was kind , knowledgeable and friendly. We had great time
Our Guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable!
Dimitrios was an excellent driver and guide. Also nice to get out of Athens and see some of the countryside. We liked the museum at Corinth a lot. Also seeing the Corinth canal.
Dimitrios was wonderful. He was so professional and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and was in awe at the ancient history.
Great tour with a great guide! Enjoyed the scenic ride to Corinth with a stop at the canal and archaeological site along the sea. Walked/hiked up to the castle above ancient Corinth and had lunch at the restaurant by the castle. Highly recommend doing this tour for some time outside of Athens, incredible views, great Biblical history and wonderful food.
This was such a great tour! Kyriakos was very chivalrous and attentive. I hurt my foot earlier in the day and he made sure I felt good enough to walk to sites and opened my door. He provided cold water. He had great photo recommendations as well as a perfect restaurant to go along with the tour. He was knowledgable and clearly educated. I would recommend this tour to anyone remotely interested in the history of Corinth or the Apostle Paul. Great value for the entire experience.
This was an absolutely wonderful tour. Kyriakos was our guide and he is very knowledgeable, really engaging, and knows all the secret spots. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Especially for the cost, this was an incredibly impressive experience. He also took us to an exceptional restaurant for lunch. 10/10 for Kyriakos!
Dimitrios was a fantastic guide! My parents and I had the best day traveling to Corinth from Athens with him. He picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel doorstep. A lovely guy and very knowledgeable about the area.
Maria was an outstanding tour guide! From start to finish, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. She made the tour both informative and entertaining, answering questions with enthusiasm and making my wife and I feel welcome. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and great sense of humor made the experience memorable and enjoyable. Maria went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional tour experience. Thank you, Maria, for a wonderful tour! 5 out 5 excellent
Our trip to Ancient Corinth, following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, was truly outstanding. Our driver, Kyriakos, made the journey both enjoyable and incredibly informative. We learned so much about the history of the Apostle Paul and the ancient city of Corinth. We took amazing photos from Acrocorinth and also visited the ancient port from which the Apostle Paul continued his journey to Ephesus. We highly recommend this tour to everyone.
We added this tour last minute and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. It’s well structured, comfortable, and genuinely interesting. You don’t need to be deeply religious to appreciate it — the historical context alone makes it worth it. Would definitely recommend booking this. Maria is the best guide we ever had.
This was one of our best day trips ever in any country. We wanted to get out of Athens for a day and booked at the last minute. Dimitrios was accommodating even on less than a day’s notice. He took us to see several places not listed on the tour guide like the port where the Apostle Paul landed in the Peloponnese before heading to Corinth. After new Corinth and Old Corinth, we headed to the castle and then a wonderful lunch beside the castle parking area. This trip is well worth the money!
It was a private guided tour with a beautiful young lady who runs the private tour business with her husband. The cab was clean, roomy and comfortable and she was a polite, pleasant, and skilled driver. She drove about one and half hours to Corinth and took us to key sites giving us simple and brief explanations, and let us walk about freely to find things by ourselves. We coincidentally met another private tour, at the harbour, where Apostle Paul was said to have landed. The tour was lead by the husband of our beautiful guide. We were with her husband for a while and enjoyed his very thorough explanations and thought we would have enjoyed his thorough contents if we had an option to choose our guide. My husband and I have been dedicated Christians since our youth and have been enjoying studying the historical context of the Bible for many decades. I would think that any Christian tourists who book this Bible Tour in Corinth would enjoy the explanation in depth. It would be great if customers are able to choose different levels, simple to detailed, of depth in guided contents. We however thoroughly enjoyed the memorable tour in Corinth. It helped us understand Paul’s commitment to his mission, his love for his Lord Jesus Christ. We would love to return to Greece to visit the beautiful, spiritual and historical Corinth again. Thank you and all the very best to you and your husband for providing great uplifting and memorable tours to your future customers who will be seeking to know the great disciple Paul, his life and faith to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. God bless!
Excellent! Nick was a great tour guide!
A great mix of history and personal experience,We didn't feel we were being rushed from stop to stop ,which made a big diferrence.Seeing the actual locations connected to Apostle Paul made everything feel real.If you are looking for a high -quality private tour from Athens ,this is a solid choice .Nice clean car ,polite and knowledgeable driver .Strongly recommended !!
We’ve done many tours in Greece, but this one really stood out. It’s not just about seeing ruins — it’s about understanding the story behind them. Standing at the Bema and hearing about Apostle Paul’s time in Corinth was unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and the private setup made it even better. Fully recommended, only private from now on.
To start- I was pleasantly surprised that this "private tour" was literally just with my husband and I. I had expected, maybe, a small group of less than 10. So it was very personal and WONDERFUL! Our guide Kyriakos, was absolutely FABULOUS! He spoke about the Apostle Paul's life in and around the Athens area and the journey to ancient Corinth. It was a great conversation with questions and answers, and things like "Imagine if you were living in that time and this or that happened". On our way to ancient Corinth, we had a nice stop for coffee. All of the listed stops were included plus some other little stops along the way! We were so blown away with ancient Corinth~ It was much more preserved than I expected! The museum was great as well. Where we stopped for lunch (at our expense, but the prices were great and better priced than some places we ate while in Athens) was one of our favorites of our whole trip! Then headed to the ancient port where the Apostle Paul sailed (when he left Corinth) heading to Ephesus. The ancient port was amazing, too! This whole trip was AMAZING and I highly recommend this! *To walk in Apostle Paul's footsteps is mind-blowing! Even if you just enjoy ancient history~ This is for you! It is a full day- we were picked up at 8am and got back to our Airbnb around 5pm. *If you can request Kyriakos, you will be in for a great day!
Maria was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and made the trip very interesting and enjoyable with the right balance of time together with her and apart. Her driving was safe and relaxing. Would recommend booking this trip 100%.
Everything about this tour was easy — from pickup to drop-off. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the sites in Corinth were fascinating. The highlight was definitely standing at the Bema and realizing the importance of that place. A very worthwhile half-day experience.
Our tour of the steps of Apostle Paul was fabulous. We cannot say enough about our wonderful guide, Kyriakos. He is extremely knowledgeable and did not miss any details during our tour.
Our trip was fabulous. Our tour guide, Kyriakos, is very knowledgeable and did not leave out any details on our tour.
This tour was one of those experiences that stays with you. It’s simple, well organized, and focused on what really matters — the story of Apostle Paul and early Christianity. The guide made everything easy to understand, and the visit to the Corinth Canal was a nice bonus. Definitely worth booking. We had a fantastic lunch (optional)
Kyriakos took us on an inspiring journey following in the footsteps of St Paul in Ancient Corinth. He is an incredible storehouse of knowledge, historical and cultural, that he shares with pride and generosity. He was most attentive to our every need from shopping to food to rest stop breaks. And upon finding out it was my birthday he gave me a birthday gift! What a thoughtful and generous travel guide!
We only had a short time in Athens and wanted something meaningful outside the city, this was perfect. Ancient Corinth is impressive on its own, but learning about Apostle Paul while being there made it even more special. Smooth transportation, great pacing and a very relaxed atmosphere. No worries, they will get you on time at the port.
The tour is nice and private. Traffic may cause delay so start early and allow for delays. The driver was informative but a handout would have been nice to capture the information on the locations visited. Overall it was Ok.
Maria was an excellent guide. I thought we were getting a bus tour. No, this was us and Maria driving us. I loved being able to ask her about the Greek economy, religion, welfare, Gypsies, real estate and everything else I’ve wondered about as we tour Greece. She will customize as you need. Way better than the bus tour guides. Be aware and READ the instructions before your tour. You will pay admissions. She will not go in the major archaeological site, but she showed us an audio guide for free. Plus the museum has English explanations. At the castle Maria recommended an excellent restaurant with views and the best moussaka I’ve ever had. We really enjoyed this special lunch. Highly recommend Maria and her company. BTW Maria’s English is awesome! It really helps me if I can understand the guide.
ZERO stars!!!! Our guide never showed up!!! We tried custom service and they only thing they offered was to investigate for a refund. We were stranded at the port with no options
The best tour of Corinth from Athens. We highly recommend it. We saw all that was related to St. Paul as well as the important historical sites such as the Corinth canal. Maria was an excellent guide and driver.
We had a full day touring Corinth with Maria. It was a wonderful trip. We learned a lot and she made everything easy for us. I would strongly recommend the Corinth tour with this capable and congenial guide.
Amazing tour with our guide Kyryakos. He was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable explaining everything we saw as we travelled around. Our tour included the Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, old port of Corinth, some churches. Highly recommended.
This was exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for — meaningful, well-paced, and easy to enjoy. The drive from Athens was comfortable, and once we arrived in Corinth everything just made sense historically and biblically. Seeing Paul’s footsteps in real life adds something you can’t get from books. Highly recommended.
Kyriakos was a thoughtful and highly conversant guide with good instincts as to our interests and tolerance during a 5-hour tour from Athens to Corinth and a variety of St. Paul sites in the Corinth area. He was fun, easy going and appropriate at all times, and educated us as to some of the details associated with St. Paul's travels in the area and the relationship of those events to previous Greek and Roman history and subsequent Christian developments. Is historical knowledge was Broad and deep and helped us gain a better understanding of Greek history and its bearing on contemporary events. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and it was the exact right length for a tour of that scope.
If you're on the fence about booking this tour,just do it . The visit to Ancient Corinth and the Bema where Apostle Paul stood was far more powerful than we imagined. The guide kept things engaging and easy to follow, and the whole experience felt personal, not like a typical tour. One of the best half-day trips from Athens. Kiriakos is a very good guide very knowledgeable and polite
We enjoyed being taken to key sites relating to the apostle Paul's connections in Corinth. It was exciting to see ancient Corinth and the Diolkos in particular. Our driver Maria was safe and very friendly and had basic knowledge of Paul's ministry in Corinth that was helpful. For more detailed commentary we found taking photos of a particular feature and getting an AI connectivity was very helpful and informative. Maria was great for understanding more about the Greek Orthodox church and also a lot about Greek culture, history and the local geography.
We booked this Apostle Paul tour without many expectations, but it ended up being one of the most meaningful parts of our trip. Walking through Ancient Corinth and seeing where Paul actually lived and preached gave a whole new perspective to what we had only read before. The tour was smooth, well organized, and never felt rushed. If you’re even slightly interested in biblical history, this experience is absolutely worth it.Thanks to our driver Dimitrios we had an extra sight stop for a fantastic lunch at Acrocorinth.
Biblical Tour from Athens We added this Apostle Paul tour to our Athens itinerary almost last minute, and it ended up being one of the most worthwhile experiences of our trip. Thanks to our driver Maria ! The visit to Ancient Corinth gave life to the New Testament, especially seeing the area where Paul lived and preached. The stop at the Corinth Canal was also a great bonus and perfect for photos. Everything ran smoothly from pickup to return, and the private tour made it feel relaxed and personal. If you’re interested in biblical history or want something more meaningful than a typical sightseeing tour, this is definitely a great choice.
We had a wonderful time!! Our tour guide was absolutely delightful!! He was so kind, and a wealth of information! We learned so much, adding to our knowledge on the early church. And the scenery was absolutely gorgeous! We would highly recommend this tour!
This Apostle Paul biblical tour from Athens was one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip to Greece. Visiting Ancient Corinth and standing near the Bema where Paul preached really brought the New Testament stories to life. Our guide explained the historical background of Corinth and how Paul’s mission influenced early Christianity, which made the entire visit even more interesting. The drive from Athens was comfortable and we also stopped at the impressive Corinth Canal along the way. If you’re interested in Christian heritage travel or biblical history in Greece, this private tour is a fantastic experience.Kiriakos is the best Guide.
We had the best time on the spiritual journey of Saint Paul with our driver, Dimitris. He picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable car and talked of the places that we will be visiting in Corinth. definitely include this in your trip to Greece. It was by far one of the best.
It is a must-visit if you are traveling to Corinth! The arrangement was excellent, a comfortable car, and an excellent, knowledgeable guide (thanks, Dennis, for the perfect arrangement!) AcroCorinth and Castle were spectacular! Highly recommended! We went in February, which is a low season, not crowded at all, and also perfect weather.
This Apostle Paul private tour from Athens is a must for anyone interested in Christian heritage and Ancient Corinth. Standing at the Bema where Paul preached was powerful, and the guide connected scripture with real history in a clear, engaging way. The drive was smooth, the schedule perfectly timed, and the experience deeply meaningful. If faith travel matters to you, don’t hesitate — this half-day biblical tour is absolutely worth booking. Maria is very professional and she made us feel very comfortable and safe.
I’ve done group tours before and always felt like part of a crowd — this private tour was the opposite. It felt personalized and relaxed, but still full of information. The guide timed everything perfectly, so we avoided the big tour buses. Worth every euro. I will never do a group tour again the difference in the price is very small compared to the private services that were provided. Thanks dear Dimitrios.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Kyriakos was a fantastic guide. We thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the rich history, culture and religion that Corinth has to offer. His knowledge of history was incredible and he taught us so much. He went out of his way to share hidden gems of Corinth and the surrounding area with us. He is an enthusiastic ambassador for Greek culture.
Even though its a half day tour, it doesn’t feel rushed at all. Everything ran like clockwork. I like that we had a private guide who could tailor the conversation to what we were curious about - not a one-size-fits-all script. Personal and professional. Perfect car, amazing trip, fantastic guide. Strongly recommended. Dimitrios support was awesome!
Thus was an amazing experience. We were impressed with how flexible the guide was. When we wanted to stop for coffee, he happily adjusted the schedule. It felt like traveling with a knowledgeable friend. Kiriakos was the best driver we could have. Thanks so much.
This tour was the perfect fit for our cruise stopover. The company provided excellent communication, handling our pickup at Piraeus and ensuring we returned to the ship on time. The biblical aspects of the tour were fascinating, and the entire experience was reliable and stress-free. We were surprised by how accessible everything is in Athens; you can see so much even during a short visit. Highly recommended and well worth the price
This tour was great for our family. Our teens actually paid attention (a miracle!) because the guide made it relatable. We had plenty of photo stops, bathroom breaks, and time to enjoy the views. A good mix of faith, history, and comfort.Thanks so much Maria you did so many things for us.
I booked this tour because I wanted something meaningful but not a full-day commitment - it was perfect. The itinerary was well thought out, and the guide made every minute count. The drive along the coast alone was worth it! All the sights we visited were really interesting. The history of this area is amazing. Ancient Corinth was a really important city back in ancient times and it's so well preserved.
This tour brought the Bible to life. When the guide described Paul’s speech before Gallio at the judgment seat, I could almost hear it echoing. It’s hard to describe the feeling — standing there knowing it really happened in this very place. For believers, this tour is unforgettable. I really would do it again it was so perfect.
