“I highly recommend this tour, whether you are a Christian believer or not. Tas picked us up at our hotel in Athens and was kind from beginning to end, always making sure we were comfortable and finding us a restroom rapidly when needed. Tas knows the scriptures exceptionally well, citing chapter and verse the stories of the Apostle Paul and weaving in local stories and extra-biblical history.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 523 reviews · from $44

Leave Athens by air-conditioned bus for Ancient Corinth and Nafplio. An English-speaking archaeologist guide, such as Apostolos, Vivian, or Chrysa, brings the sites to life, while free time covers lunch, local shops, and a summer swim at Arvanitia Beach.

“Enjoyed very much. Chryssa was a very informative and excellent guide. It was very hot, so recommend not in height of summer. Also lots of uneven steps and walking uphill, so only if you are fit and healthy! Epidaurus was magnificent, Nafplio very pretty indeed. Swimming there required walk up a hill and down and would be good to have swim shoes as pebble, but pretty! Fort was fascinating. Again, very hot so need lots of water, sunscreen hat and swimmers. Was excellent meeting bus via metro as was very easy and didn't get stuck in traffic.”

Our guide really made the history and mythology come alive. She kept everyone and everything on schedule with friendly humor. Get your Guide did not give us advance notice that women need to have skirts down to their knees to enter the Monasteries in Meteora. Many of us were scrambling to buy something at the hotel since we couldn’t be assured to borrow something at the site. The people who booked through Chat Tours were informed at registration.”
