Beautiful day in Corinth. - Great tour! Our driver and guide, Giorgos, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. The olive oil tour and tasting was the highlight of the tour. Nikos at the beautiful Markellos olive oil factory was an excellent and informative guide. We learned so much about olive oil! This was an overall 5 star experience.

Excellent tour during our stay in Athens. - The ruins at Corinth were fascinating and it was fun to see an up and running olive oil business. Our driver went above and beyond to show us around and point out sites.

All in all amazing experience! - This tour was simply amazing! The driver was very knowledgeable and opened to answering any of our questions. We had plenty of time to explore the Corinthe canal and old Corinthe. And to top it off we had a great experience learning about the olive oil making process and learnt about olive oil tasting.

Great day! - Wonderful day! Our driver and guide were great. I would suggest a little more time at Corinth acropolis. And a little less time at Corinth ruins.

Great to let someone else to the driving! - We were very grateful Georgios was our guide yesterday. He made an effort to engage with us, and share local history with us. In addition to the information we learned from our olive tour, Giorgos had much to share as well. What has not been mentioned on reviews is that this region around Markelos Olive Grove is breathtakingly beautiful.

Excellent unique experience! - Very scenic and majestic views of the Greek landscape. The real gem of this tour is the olive oil tasting which is especially eye-opening and enlightening. You will never taste olive oil in the same way again (I mean this in a good way). The driver Anthony was very friendly, knowledgeable and conversable! Excellent trip and well worth it.

Great tour of Corinth and olive farm - Our driver was waiting for us outside our hotel on time! The car was clean and comfortable. There was water and a local welcome gift snack. We enjoyed seeing the Corinth canal and the ancient ruins of Corinth. The olive farm tour and tasting was fabulous and the driver arranged everything and kept us on a perfect timely schedule. Our driver was local and knowledgeable and answered all our questions about Greece and traveling etc. He took us to a nice restaurant for lunch and returned us to our hotel. Wonderful experience!
