Overview

Our Apostle Paul Footsteps Private Tour from Athens is a truly remarkable Christian tour.

In Athens, he visited all the important political spots of the times (Roman era) which you will also visit this private Ap. Paul tour. Apostle Paul afterwards went to Corinth where he stayed for almost 18 months and authored the famous two Epistles to Corinthians.
