What my travelers enjoy most about this tour is the opportunity they have to explore both the highlights of classical Athens and visit one of the most eminent apostolic landmarks, the "Step" of Saint Paul. Tour around the city and get a taste of Ancient Athens and the modern Athenians' lifestyle, followed by a drive to the outskirts of Attica, passing through the "Isthmus Canal" and finally ending at Ancient Corinth on your own pace. Points of Visit 1) Acropolis (Parthenon-Propylea-Temple of Wingless Victory-Erechtheum- Odeon of Herodes Atticus-theatre of Dionysus) 2) Temple of Olympian Zeus 3) Panathinaic Stadium 4) Parliament-Tomb of the Unknown Soldier-changing of the guards 5) Athens Trilogy (Academy-University-National Library) 6) Lycabettus Hill 7) Isthmus Canal 8) Ancient Corinth-Temple of Apollo-St. Paul's Step & Museum As the tour is private and flexible can be customized according to your interests and needs.

Frank provided an outstanding tour of Athens and Corinth. He is personable, professional and an outstanding driver. We also enjoyed our guide “angel” who provided excellent insight into the sites we visited. 100% recommendation to others to use this tour.
Unfortunately, Frank had Laryngitis the day of our tour. To his credit he kept the appointment and arranged an able stand-in. He had an excellent high tip van to accommodate the seven of us and we received an excellent tour of Athens before going to the Acropolis area. I would not say we received a lot of historical preparation for the Acropolis but our visit there was intersting despite the huge crowds and heat. Afterwards, we headed to Corinth. We briefly visited the Corinthian canal befor having a nice meal with and a nice view in Corinth. We then visited ancient Corinth and museum. Again, we didn’t receive much preparation for Ancient Corinth and reality very little on St Paul are than some basics. It’s therefore a little hard to appraise the normal tour as Frank would have perhaps given us a lot more historical information
This was a truly wonderful tour and Frank was a joy and a pleasure to be with for the full day tour. He seemed to tailor the tour a bit for us, as a mostly teen-aged pilgrimage group, and took us to all the amazing sites of Athens, but also, took us to special places that were important to our particular journey. He was kind, funny, very friendly and very knowledgeable about Athens, Corinth, all of the sites and the cities. He even also took us on a detour back to our hotel because one fo the kids forgot their passport (needed to get into the Parthenon) without a complaint or shortening the tour. His 15 passenger mini bus was beautiful and his driving was impecable. He also kindly probided us with water throughout the day. I feel as though i have a new friend in Athens now. Several in our group want to return to Athens, and will request Frank's tour services again!
Amazing day with Frank today! I can't say enough good things about his tour of Athens and the ancient city of Corinth. He provided so much information while guiding us through these amazing cities. He was so considerate of one of the older women in our group, making sure he drove her as close as possible to every site so that she didn't have to walk far. I would not hesitate to use Frank again and highly recommend him when looking for a guide here.
We had a wonderful day with Frank as he showed is around beautiful Athens. It was so helpful to have an expert guide to drive us to all of the sites and give us the fascinating history of each site. We loved the drive to ancient Corinth as well. Frank was patient and accommodating. It was a fun and memorable day!
We had a great time on this tour. Frank was very friendly and responsive to our needs. His knowledge was fantastic and we learned a lot. Thanks for a great tour.
