    I found the itinerary very good and the choice of archaeological sites excellent. Hotel and food were hit and miss for those included with a wide range of quality. Site guides were very good .

    Our tour guide, Korina, was absolutely wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about everything we visited and our trip was so much better because of her presence and contributions. It was like travelling with an old friend. Our driver, Vasilis, was also excellent and expertly navigated roads that I would have been terrified to drive on.

    Tour Director Korina was very friendly and thorough, driver Sotiris was so skilled and most helpful. Tour was what I expected, covering Greece's deep history and culture. This is the tour for everyone interested in learning as well as exploring.

    Excellent guide (Atonis) Excellent driver (Spiros) Great bus, early visits to sites was ideal. Some of the accomodation was a bit 'ratty' especially in Kalambaka. My room had black mould! (Hotel Famissi Eden) but the Moxy in Athens was great

    Aaron

    Asked on July 5th, 2024

    Want to know if this tour allows time to visit and explore the city of Corinth. It lists Corinth as a city to visit, but on the itinerary, it simply references crossing the Corinth canal and doesn't say anything about visiting the actual city.

    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten July 2024

      At this time, the information available about the tour is as listed on our website. There may not be a scheduled stop at Corinth city. I will need to verify this detail with our operations team to confirm.
