Morgan Family - June, 2026 - Tour of Ancient Corinth:Follow in the footsteps of Apostle Paul Tour We had an excellent tour with Andreas, our driver/tour guide, who was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. He made sure we experienced important highlights of Paul’s journey. And he brought us to an excellent restaurant with breathtaking views. He also made sure we returned on time for dinner reservations we had that evening. From beginning to end, everyone we communicated with at Greece Athens Taxi was professional and wanted to ensure our vacation was memorable. Thank you!

Tour of Ancient Corinth. - We had an exceptional day trip with Pericles. He indicated he had been in the business for over 30 years and it showed. His knowledge of the life of Apostle Paul from his beginnings to his eventual demise was explained in a manner that made us think he was a retired Professor of History. We would thoroughly recommend this tour and particularly wish to acknowledge the performance of our tour guide/ driver Pericles.

Great Tour - Outstanding tour. Our tour guide was Nick and he was very professional and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to give us thorough and fantastic tour. Also the restaurant the suggested for us for lunch was authentic Greek food and excellent. It was very profound to stand where the Apostle Paul stood. We would highly recommend this tour.

Book Them! - My son got carsick and we had to pull over. Not only were they very professional and helpful, but both of the drivers were helping us take care of him and clean him up after he threw up at least four times. They did not want to make us feel bad or act like they were inconvenience. If anything it was the complete opposite. When I apologize, they said no need to. We are parents and we completely understand. Obviously, the drive took longer, and I felt bad. We’ve traveled all over the world and have done many tours, but they were by far the most professional I’ve come across. They sent a message the next day asking if he was okay. This wasn’t their fault that they were more concerned about us. We also enjoyed the tour and they gave us a lot of great information! Other than the carsick part it was a great day.

Booked last minute and... - Booked last minute and the company was very accommodating to meet our scheduling needs. Spyros was the perfect driver, with the right amount of details on the sites and conversation on the drive.

Best way to see Corinth - This trip was one of the highlights of our Greece trip. The car was very comfortable. Andreas was a great conversationalist, answering many questions about Greece during the ride to Corinth. Going up to the Acrocornith and seeing the ancient port were unexpected highlights. Taking a private trip allowed us to see what we wanted at our pace. I highly recommend this trip.

Don't miss this trip - We highly recommend this trip! Andreas made this trip exactly what we needed. We saw places in Corinth that bus tours skip. Andreas is a great driver and conversationalist!
