Fantastic way to spend some time away from the crowds in Athens!
This was a fantastic way to spend a half a day! Our tour guide Yannis was amazing and very knowledge about Greek history and the history of the specific sites we visited. We stopped at the Corinth Canal to get some great photos, then moved on to Ancient Corinth and the Acrocorinth. Yannis gave us the flexibility to spend time at the areas that most interested us and it was very tailored to our interests. It was nice to get away from the crowds in Athens and enjoy a beautiful ride along the Aegean Sea and surrounding countryside. Wholeheartedly recommend 100%!

Amazing Tour of Corinth!
Our tour to Corinth was amazing! Not only were the sights spectacular, but our tour guide, Dem, was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable about the historical and political perspectives of the sights and the area, but it was his kindness to and consideration for his guests that made the tour experience truly exceptional and so very memorable. We felt like he was a family member by the end of the day. Thanks so much to Dem and Warmpenguin Tours for making this magical day possible!
