A very fun and fast-paced tour of Athens and Corinth!
We only had a day in Athens, needed a transfer from the port to a hotel near the airport, and really wanted to see Corinth. Olive Sea Travel helped make this all happen seamlessly. This tour is fast-paced and really did let us see it all. Our guide, Nasos, was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and made our time in Athens and Corinth very memorable. You can tell he truly enjoys showing people his home and goes out of his way to make sure they enjoy their time. Thanks Nasos!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad Nasos made your short trip memorable and enjoyable. Providing seamless and enriching tours is our goal, and it’s wonderful to hear he made a great impression on your visit.

Following St Paul’s Steps from Athens to Corinth
Incredible, amazing, loved it! I was blessed! This trip exceeded expectations from Mars Hill and the Acropolis to Corinth! Petros, my guide, knew His history, geography, and culture! I learned so much! I had the Biblical background but the tour came alive seeing the sites in person! I highly recommend following Paul’s footsteps across Athens to Corinth, to the port he departed from for Ephesus. I recommend the company, the guide for sure, and the full day tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Olive Sea Travel and the kind review about Petros. He is an excellent driver with great passion in his job and knowledge to share with you. Our purpose at Olive Sea Travel is to provide you with unique experiences that will make you want to return. I wish to meet you in Greece again. Kind regards, Ioanna Gryllaki

Saint Paul Steps Full Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Saint Paul Steps Full Day Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $344 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 Saint Paul Steps Full Day 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 Saint Paul Steps Full Day Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Saint Paul Steps Full Day 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 Saint Paul Steps Full Day 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 Saint Paul Steps Full Day Private Tour?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saint Paul Steps Full Day 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 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.
