Petros: tour guide extraordinaire. - We were traveling on a cruise ship that docked in Athens last Thursday. Because we had previously visited Athens, we wanted to see some out of town sights, including Corinth. Although our schedule was tight, Viator arranged a private tour for us with pickup from our hotel. Petros was our guide for the 1/2 day, and was simply awesome. While we don’t speak Greek, his English was superb. His knowledge of the country, personality and willingness to be flexible to our interests made this trip very worthwhile.

Awesome and stress free transfers - We had arranged for them to pick various family units at the Athens Airport, transfers to the port and then to the airport. They were amazing, especially since two family units had to change flights due to cancellation. The driver was there to pick us up 7 hours later. We also had them take us on a tour of Corinth. It was awesome. I would definitely use them again.

The Tour by Costa Through Athens - I absolutely recommend Athens Taxi Travel especially if it's your first time to Athens. Our driver, Costa, shared a meaningful, efficient intro to Greek history. We covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time and I feel like I have a better understanding of the city and the culture.

Mastering Greek Mytholgy made easy by Costa - Costa was a most fascinating guide. We ended up being the only two on the tour after we finished a Virgin Greek Isles cruise. His passion was Greek Mythology and we wish we received his explanations before we set off on our Greek Odyssey. So much of the English language and our culture is underpinned by the original Greek legends, which were paralleled in all religions. The Corinth Canal has to be seen to be believed but the highlight was to the Museum of Ancient Corinth - better labelled and displayed then those in the Acropolis museum. We we taken to the peak of Acrocorinth for outstanding views over ancient and modern Corinth and a tasty lunch at the restaurant there. Climbing up to the fortress is not for the feint-hearted but worth the effort! Costa then took us to the airport for an extra fee. The day was a highlight of our trip and I recommend anyone spending a few days in Athens to do this tour first to get a good grounding in the history and culture of Greece.

Great visit to Corinth - We had a wonderful tour to Corinth! We loved seeing the canal, ruins, and the fortress on the mountain. Our guide was Fotis, and he was outstanding! He was informative, professional, and friendly. He let us take our time at each stop, and did a great job telling us the history of Greece. We finished our tour with lunch at the restaurant outside of the fortress. Beautiful views and delicious food! Also, a great gift shop! I highly recommend this tour. It is well worth it.

Better Than Expected, Wonderful Trip - We booked this trip on short notice, just the day before, which always makes you a little leery, but this tour was beyond expectations. Our driver & guide, Petros, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. We had a wonderful trip and are really glad we booked it.

Interesting option from Piraeus port - Private tour from port if u went to Parthenon already, a bit pricey because of private driver. But still a good idea to use the day rather then waste on board, we liked the hike to fortress even more then archeological site

Overly talkative driver with no worthwhile information - Our driver never stopped talking. When we asked questions he changed the subject. He parroted right-wing racist propaganda. This made the ride very uncomfortable, in spite of the interesting sites we visited.
