This worked really well. Downloaded everything before leaving the hotel and had no issues inside the site. The audio isn’t too long, which we appreciated in the heat.
Really enjoyed this self-guided tour. The app was easy to use and made the history of the place more engaging.
Glad I selected this tour as getting to Corinth from Athens would have been challenging due to traffic and the coach certainly got there more quickly. The tour itself was very good, great guide and lots of information about the sites. Ancient Corinth has significant history as well as being a significant christian site.
Corinth and the canal were both amazing. It was a VERY nice small bus, comfortable and cool. Vickie, our guide knew just the right balance of sharing details and giving us time for photos. She knew all the Bible details about the Apostle Paul as well as the historical Greek information about Corinth. We loved it.
Great experience! Very informative and fun! A great way to see details of the early church and sites of Athens / Corinth.
