Ancient Nemea
Positioted 31km southwest of Corinth, Ancient Nemea was once the venue for the biennial Nemean Games, held in honour of Zeus. Three original columns of the imposing 4th-century-BC Doric Temple of Zeus survive, and the on-site museum displays rich finds from the area. The stadium where the Games were held is nearby; once connected to the sanctuary by a sacred road, it plays host to the resurrected Games.

With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.

Take a Tour with Theo
Had a great day with Theo as our guide! Saw the Canal, the beautiful countryside, dipped our toes In the sea, took a cog rail train ride followed by a lovely lunch and a tour of the Cave of the Lakes. We highly recommend our guide Theo who was very knowledgeable, lots of fun and a great driver too!

Amazing experience
This tour is highly worth it! You get to experience a some hidden gems of Greece! The temple of Apollo was so interesting and esucational, train was beautiful and an amazing feat. The mountain towns you drive through are so fun and quaint with amazing food. The caves are stunning and a must see. Such a unique experience. Also, our tour guide Theo was so knowledgeable and fun to talk to. He is an archeologist and studied ancient history… what more could you want out of a tour guide. I would do another tour with him in a heartbeat.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the take the time to review us! It's very much appreciated and very important for our boutique agency since collecting reviews when you only do "private tours" is a difficult task!

A+ experience
I booked this trip from Canada before we arrived in greece. I was very quickly was contacted by the owner, Nikos to arrange the excursion. Nikos continued to be very communicative and also kept us informed as to what to expect and who our driver would be. We went on this full day tour, with Theo as our guide. We were picked up from our hotel, and began our journey. Theo was very friendly and answered all of our questions ... There were many! The entire day was filled with beautiful scenery, endless history and absolutely delicious food. The only downside is we eventually had to end our day and say goodbye to Theo!!! Thank you Nikos for the wonderful opportunity and big thank to Theo for being such a wonderful travel companion! -Bethany and Ryan From Canada
Response from the operator: Bethany and Ryan. This is a very to-the-point- review and a great review too. Theo had a very easy day with you two :) THANK U very much!

Ancient Corinth, Kapsia Cave, Ancient Nemea, Great Lunch, Private Day Tour
Our party of 4 women loved everything about this trip! Our guide, Theo, was a perfect gentleman and very knowledgeable. Our 1st stop was the Corinth Canal which surprised us by its depth and imagining the incredible effort to dig such a canal. The ancient site of Corinth was also very impressive. It was a very large site with many structures and a museum with many statues and artifacts. My favorite part of the day was the Kapsia Cave. The stalagmites and stalactites were breathtakingly beautiful and the site was so well done with background music and lighting . At lunch, we asked Theo to order for us. Everything was so delicious. Finally we went to ancient Nemea. Again the incredible skill in constructing the pillars, tunnels and statues was quite overwhelming. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a free day while visiting Athens.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, ladies. It is great to have such reviews and special comments from our clients.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $157 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Canal, Ancient Corinth & Nemea, Caves of Wonder, Great Lunch, Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
