We had a great day with Nikolaos. We arrived from the US in the morning and he picked us up at the Athens airport. The airport is between Athens and Corinth, So Corinth is a good choice for a day excursion (we did an all day Athens tour the next day). We went to Acrocorinth, the ruins of old Corinth. Very interesting place, not nearly as crowded as the acropolis. There is a nice museum there with some great pottery. We also saw the Corinth canal. After lunch, which was at a lovely local restaurant recommended by Nikolaos, we went to Nemea for wine tasting. The wines there were excellent and the host at the winery was very friendly and informative. After that, Nikolaos dropped us at our hotel in Athens. Nikolaos is a wonderful guide and shared a lot of information about Greece, Greek history, and a variety of topics. This is a really good tour if arriving in the morning and looking for something to do until check in time at the hotel, especially if you have time to see Athens another day.

Nikolaos was an informative and attentive tour guide. We enjoyed our time with him immensely. We learned a lot on our tour with him and would highly recommend him. He was on-time, patient, and drove safely. The only thing I would change about our Corinth and Nemea tour would be to work with Nikolaos a few weeks prior to the tour to secure a licensed guide at Ancient Corinth. The tour was great - wine, history, scenery, and a great guide. What’s not to like?
Nicolaos gave us a great tour of Corinth and the Nemea wine region. He made all the reservations for the wine tours and tasting. He was so knowledgeable and so very helpful. I would highly recommend any tour given by him
Our guide/driver Jimmy arrived promptly and in good cheer. The vehicle was immaculate and appeared to be very new, comfortable and safe. We enjoyed Jimmy's information as we drove through this beautiful country. As expected, the winery visit was our highlight!! We very much enjoyed our day with Jimmy as he is an attentive, intelligent and courteous young man.
