Was very happy with this private tour. Was a bit skeptical about the price but given the great distance we travelled and the variety of places and experiences we had in this one trip it became more reasonable to me. We saw so much of Ancient Corinth from the Canal to even hiking up a mountain to see ancient ruins. We also got to try traditional olive oil with bread. It was so good that I had to grab some to bring home. Our tour guide was awesome in knowledge as well as giving us a very well rounded tour. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Our guide, Kostas was very professional and knowledgeable. Having someone like him explain the ancient Greek/Roman history, archaeology, and biblical text made every single stop so much richer. Overall, seeing where 1st & 2nd Corinthians came to life was an incredibly moving experience. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 ❤️
My daughter and I took a tour with Kostas this morning. Kostas was professional, knowledgeable, and made our experience memorable. I would recommend taking this tour with Kostas as he helped educate our connection from the past to the present.

We had originally set up a tour with another company, however the day before we received a notification that it was cancelled. We were so very fortunate to find this tour with Great Greece, Luxury Transfer and Tours, Konstantinos Kourgialis. Though it was a little more than our tour that was cancelled, it was certainly worth it. I can’t recommend this tour more; money well spent…invested.
Thank you so much for the 5stars review
Our tour was incredible! It is very difficult to put into words the wonderful experience. Our guide was passionate, knowledgeable, and thorough during the whole day. We felt as if we were his true friends and he was sharing the many blessings of the Apostle Paul with us. Each stop was presented in such a way that we felt we were part of a great adventure. The beautiful day was worth the cost/admission many times over!

Nick was great and informative. Although he is not specifically a certified tour guide, he did give us all of the information in Corinth before sending us in to the stops. He said that this wasn’t a private guided tour. He is more of a driver/guide. Which was fine. We had a great time following the footsteps of Paul. Thank you, Nick!

We were picked up from our hotel minutes before the scheduled time. Constantine introduced himself and thanked us for taking this tour with him. He explained what we were going to do. On our journey to Corinth he described what we were driving by and about the geological areas and that was very interesting. We would have given a higher rating had we been able to have more of his attention. He was on the phone often during our trip. He took us to the planned stops and did a wonderful job of telling us what we were seeing and identifying different fruit trees and crops. The trip up to the top or Corinth was amazing. Beautiful views and a wonderful restaurant at the top where we had lunch. Truly wonderful place for lunch. Constantine was mindful of our steps and helped us get around. Very positive and upbeat!
Thank you so much sorry the driver had a family problem. Thank you.
