    What you'll see and do

    1. Corinth Canal

      The Corinth canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. You may enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire The Corinth Canal which connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea.

    2. Museum of the Olympic Games

      The stadium of Olympia, situated east of the sacred Altis enclosure, was where the ancient Olympic Games and the Heraia, the women's games in honour of Hera, were held. Before the sixth century BC the running events were held on a flat area along the treasuries' terrace, east of the great altar of Zeus.

    VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

    This is advertised as a "private tour" and it is not. It is a ride to Olympia. That is all. Our guide sat in the car during the "private tour" and we were on our own. Plus the ad for the activity said "all fees are included". They are not. Not even the entry fee to Olympia is included in the $307 price! This is an expensive Uber ride, is all it is. For the $613 my wife and I paid, we expected more than just a cab ride to the location. Very disappointed in Viator and I will not use them for tours again. NOT RECOMMENDED!

    Response from the operator: Sorry to hear you had this experience but we did not have included the tour guide, this tour was private since there were no other strangers. The tour did not include the fees to get in the archeological sites and it also did not include the tour guide from us. Thank you

    Away from city

    Great trip! Andreas, our driver/guide was great. We altered our trip to go to Loutraki and Nafpoli instead of the longer drive to Ancient Olympia. Good choice. This is an all day trip. Beautiful scenery worth the trip away from city.

    Response from the operator: We were glad to be of service and thank you for choosing us. Hope you come back soon and have new adventures .

    Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia cost?

    +

    Prices start at €692 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 Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 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 Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia?

    +

    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 Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia 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 Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. 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.

    What is included in Private Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal and Ancient Olympia?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Tolls/ gas/ taxes. Not included: Lunch; Entry fees for archaeological sites around 30€ per person; child seats upon request; and Tour guide is not included.
