Highly recommend this experience - There were last minute delays with having to use tenders at the port but company was very responsive. Driver/guide Marius was waiting for us. He tailored the day totally based upon our interests and priorities. His knowledge of the area allowed us to avoid traffic and made an extra stop at ancient Corinth possible. Very professional and exceptional way to experience the archeological remains of Ancient Greece.
