Private Tour of Apostle Paul's Footsteps in Ancient Corinth

Tour Background

Tour Overview

Discover the ancient city of Corinth, where history and faith come together in a powerful way. Walk through the ruins of the Agora, where the Apostle Paul once spoke to the people, and stand at the Bema—the very platform from which he addressed the Corinthians. Visit the Temple of Apollo, a striking reminder of the city’s pre-Christian heritage, and reflect on the contrast between ancient beliefs and Paul’s message. This tour offers a compelling insight into one of the most pivotal moments in the early spread of Christianity.

Costas was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, good driver and took his time. We are so thankful to have spent the day with him on the Footsteps of St. Paul tour in Ancient Corinth. He also took us to lunch at a wonderful Greek taverna. You will miss out if you don’t book with him!

My experience was wonderful. Our Guide was on time, and very knowledgeable about the culture, the history, Biblical events, and current events. Most importantly he was patient. It was very rewarding to be able to merge my knowledge of Apostle Paul with original artifacts of his walk with Christ. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone with a desire to learn more about the Greek culture and the life of Apostle Paul.

We had An amazing day with our guide Ruslan! It was so interesting to see the places Paul walked and taught! Having a private tour with just our family was well worth the money. And the van was super clean and having air conditioning was absolutely wonderful! So glad we booked it!

My wife and I went on the Private Tour of Apostle Paul in Corinth. Our guide was Ruslan. He arrived on time and was a joy to spend the day with. Very knowledgeable and answered every question thoroughly and with great detail. Allowed plenty of time for what we needed at each stop. The car was very nice and comfortable. Next time we take a tour we would definitely find out if Ruslan is available. He provided us with an informative, comfortable and very enjoyable day. We highly recommend!
