The course itself ranged in difficulty, with three routes to choose from. All three were challenging but achievable for our inexperienced group. George is an obviously experienced climber and aided us verbally from the ground while maintaining a fun and lighthearted environment. Highly recommend checking them out!”

Your local host takes you to the Corinth Canal, Nafplio, and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, with time for personal pacing and possible extra stops.

“We reserved this tour for 4 adults and paid $535. Our driver came in a tiny tiny car. We were squashed like sardines for two hours driving each way. Extremely uncomfortable. We started at a rest stop then Corinth for a brief stop and on for lunch and another brief stop, information was limited. We were way overcharged. I would not recommend Viatours.”
