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!

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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Knowing that you have done many tours in Greece and that ours stood out as a highlight is the ultimate compliment for our team. We completely agree with you—traveling is not just about checking ruins off a list, but about truly connecting with the stories and the history behind them. Hearing about Apostle Paul's life and challenges while standing right at the Bema is a unique experience, and we are thrilled that our guide managed to make it so unforgettable for you. We are also delighted that the seamless organization and the comfort of the private setup convinced you that private tours are the way to go! Thank you again for your full recommendation. It was an honor hosting you, and we look forward to providing you with more premium, private experiences whenever you return to Greece! Warm regards
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!
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed, heartwarming, and enthusiastic review! Reading your words truly brings a massive smile to our entire team. We are so glad you experienced the true meaning of our private tours. We intentionally keep them strictly personal—just you and your loved ones—so that the journey can feel like a great conversation rather than a rigid lecture. Kyriakos was absolutely thrilled to read your compliments! He loves using that "imagine if you lived in that time" approach because it brings the history and the spiritual journey of Apostle Paul to life. He was delighted to share those extra little stops, the coffee break, and the ancient port of Cenchreae with you. It is wonderful to hear that the preserved beauty of Ancient Corinth, the museum, and that special lunch spot became highlights of your entire trip to Greece. Walking where Paul walked is indeed a mind-blowing experience, whether you visit for faith or a deep love for ancient history. Thank you for recommending Kyriakos so highly and for giving future guests a clear picture of the full-day itinerary (8am - 5pm). We would be absolutely honored to welcome you and your husband back to Greece for another amazing adventure! Warmest regards

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.

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.
