The guide was nimble and made some good jokes, the history of the city of Corinth is marvelous and the ruins (especially those of Apollo's temple) are breathtaking.

Full description

Leave Athens and drive southwest until you reach the Corinth Canal that connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea (short stop). Drive on and visit the ancient town of Corinth, where St. Paul lived and preached for two years. The remains of the city, which include the agora (marketplace) and Temple of Apollo (6th-century BC) clearly show how rich and important Corinth was in ancient times. A short stop at the site of the ancient Port of Cehrees, where St. Paul disembarked will conclude the visit. Return back to Athens by the same route. If you are staying near the coast, you will be transferred back to your hotel at around 15:00 with the tour bus.

the tour was well organised and ran on time, even despite traffic. The guide did assume we already had significant knowledge of Greek history and mythology (much more than could be safely assumed, and I actually did some classical studies). Though she did explain in brief each time, when everybody was clearly confused, it was done too quickly for those with no knowledge of Greek history to really understand.
