Great day in Athens and Corinth - Family of 8, ages 9-72. Chris was the driver. Our guide was Alice and she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The van we traveled in was luxurious. Would definitely choose them again.

AMAZING - My family and I had an amazing day! Our wonderful guide Theodore was so gracious and knowledgeable. We toured Athens and decided to take a trip to Corinth. Theodore was more than willing to help us and drove us to beautiful country and sea side sites. He was always punctual and gave us plenty of time to tour areas like the Acropolis and museums. He even stopped for some souvenir purchases. My family and I made beautiful memories exploring Athens and Theodore was a huge part of making it all happen!

Our Driver Rocked! - What a great experience, thanks to Babis for creating a memorable day. The early slowpoke drive to Corinth was due to unexpected rush hour traffic, but Babis made the most of our time once we reached the archeological ruins. It was amazing to see the museum and several sites that were still distinguishable. Onward to Athens, we were given precise instructions about where to meet back after Acropolis stop. The inclines and rocky surfaces were perfectly managed by us four golden agers, and once on top, the amazing ruins did not disappoint. Babis suggested a lunch stopping point, but we indicated that we'd wait until returning to the ship. Babis strategically used the ample remaining time to drive past many wonderful landmarks including the Zeus Temple, the Presidential Palace, The Panathenaic Stadium, Athens City Hall, Hellenic Parliament, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (with changing of the guard), The National Library and other significant sites. It was a win-win day for all of us and the October cooler weather was a bonus, too.

Amazing Day in Athens and Corinth - We had a fantastic day with Stefanos from Olive Sea Travel, who was knowledgeable, professional, prompt, and courteous! From the hotel pickup to the drop off at the end of the day, everything was taken care of and all we had to do was enjoy the tour and take in all that Athens and Corinth had to offer, made all the easier with the expert knowledge provided by Stefanos. Extra convenience was provided by Olive Sea Travel purchasing our Acropolis tickets in advance, and Stefanos efficiently squired us to all the sites while managing to avoid the heat and crowds (as much as possible given the time of year and number of visitors in Athens). Cold water was provided throughout the day, and the car provided a smooth and comfortable ride. It was a fantastic day - Stefanos and Olive Sea Travel truly created an immersive and memorable experience for our first time in Athens! Highly recommend!

Amazing! Professional, Expert, Personable, and Knowledgeable! - This tour was nothing short of amazing! It was the highlight of our two weeks in Europe.
The guide, Yannis, was phenomenal and had deep knowledge of Athens, the Acropolis, the National Museum… all of the important historical landmarks. He was so excited to share his knowledge of, and passion for, ancient Athens. Highly, highly, highly recommend getting the optional guide.
The driver, Stefanos, was an extremely professional driver and kept us from having to worry about the seemingly chaotic Athens roads and drivers. He, too, shared historical information with us.

Beware of vendor asking for passport information - The tour overall was good. Visited the sites we desired. Loved the religious connections. Our driver was nice and knowledgeable, took us to a great restaurant for lunch, but the was not able to go with us to the main attractions. We knew this up front but regretted it afterwards. The provided reach out to me several times asking for passport information which I was not comfortable providing and yet the driver never said anything about it. That’s the main reason for the 3 star rating
