It was great having a private driver for visiting all of these different sites. Made it a lot easier to get to each site with very little hassle. Our driver was very friendly and provide answers to all our questions about Greece and the different sites we visited.

Geórgios was a fantastic tour guide! His driving was smooth and he made us feel comfortable. The car was immaculately clean and modern. Geórgios kept us engaged with wonderful myths and historical facts as we drove to our different stops. We also were able to ask him many questions about Greek life in genenal and his other recommendations and he shared lots of different things with us. The day ends with a more leisurely time in Nafplio, which was a great end to a day of seeing lots of wonderful archeological sites. We truly recommend this tour and Geórgios :)

Stopping at the Corinth canal was a good chance to stretch our legs en route to our first stop.
The ruins at Mycenae had some stunning views, and we were amazed at how big the complex at Epidaurus was.
Since we were there during the off season Nafplio wasn't bustling, but we still had a great lunch at Arapakos.
And of course our driver, Giorgos, was a total sweetheart. He adjusted plans a bit to help us get photos from the best locations!

Our driver/guide, Mr. George, picked us up on time in very comfortable van from the meeting point. We are a family of 4 with two kids, 14 and 8. The day turned out to be amazing. First Mr. George was phenomenal! He is courteous and accommodating. Made us feel comfortable and encouraged questions. The kids loved him! We had lovely discussions on variety of topics which was a welcomed bonus. Second, the combination of the archaeological sites was perfect. It’s those sites you usually see on documentaries and in books. Now you get to see them with your own eyes! We are grateful to Mr. George and the tour company for those unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

This trip was amazing! We were excited to see the Peloponnesian area and this trip was the perfect choice. The theater and ancient baths at Epidauris were amazing as was Mycenea where the castle/fortress and views were incredible. And Nafplio was a beautiful town, I wish we'd had more time there (and lunch was fabulous!)
Melina was a fantastic guide she was so incredibly knowledgeable about both the history of Greece as well as all the locations we visited. She ensured we all had as much information as we desired. When we were on our own, inside the ruins, sites, etc, she gave us very detailed instructions on what to look for. We learned so much about Greek history as well as some of the mythology. She was a pleasure to spend the day with! Thank you!

We an absolutely wonderful time with our driver, Dimitris! He was very knowledgeable about so many things about Greece, made sure that we were fully stocked on water between stops, and even taught us some Greek words to use for the rest of our time in country! The Mycenae archaeological site was well worth the climb and the Epidaurus theatre was incredible. Dimitris also recommended a wonderful restaurant in Nafplio called Kellari that we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, if you’re looking for an easy day trip where you still see a lot, this is a strong choice!

This is a great day out, Epidaurus was amazing, Nafplio beautiful and George recommended a delicious restaurant. Mycaenae was interesting and the canal a fantastic feat to see. George was informative about life in Greece as well as the stops on the way. A great day out despite the Easter traffic, George made sure we didn’t miss anything.

Amazing views from the top of Epidaurus and Mycenaes Archaelogical sites, Corinth Canal and Temple of Apollo. Sumptuous seafood in Nafplio and vistas of the beautiful bay and castles. Giorgos our tour guide explained much of fascinating Greek ancient and modern history, stopped often for amazing photo opportunities and providednus with a wonderful Greek loukumi treat.

Overall, one of the best tours I’ve been on. If you are planning on visiting Greece this is a MUST-SEE! Giorgos was extremely knowledgeable about the history, mythology, and significance of every spot on the tour. He helps contextualize every stop in history so you know exactly why each important.
The tour started right on time at my hotel, and the vehicle was fancy and very clean. The tour takes you through all the major epochs of Greek history, from the Bronze Age to the Greek Revolution. I cannot recommend it enough, especially if this is your first time in Greece.

Ioannis, the tour coordinator, has been extremely available and open to adjust the schedule to our needs.
Georgios, our driver and guide, was extremely knowledgeable of the sites, on top of being an excellent person to have great conversations during the trip.
Highly recommended.

Every sight was enjoyable, and our host Mr. Giannis was very accommodating, generous, and informative. Ample time was given to visit and enjoy the sights. Nafplio in particular was a very pretty town with many nice restaurants by the sea. I would highly recommend this trip if you have a free day and want to experience Greek history!

Dear Petros, thank you for sharing and appreciate your help!

El tour es exactamente lo que se anuncia. Recomendable para visitar mucho en poco tiempo confortablemente.
La única pega es que, a pesar de la amabilidad y paciencia del conductor, simplemente no hay tiempo suficiente para disfrutar de los sitios: 1h para Micenas es insuficiente, 1h en Napflio da para comer y muy poquísimo más y Epidauro es enorrme y nos quedamos en la superficie.
