Apostolis was the most fun and gracious guide!
I also like how the vehicles are different based on the number of passengers - we were lucky to be in a van which allowed for more flexibility.
Chelsea_P, Oct 2025
Fantastic tour! Costas was incredibly knowledgeable in ancient and history right through to the 1800's, as well as knowing all the greek myth deep-cuts, sooo impressive and really interesting! The museum and ancient ruins site in Corinth was also super interesting and the lunch we had in Nafplion was the best seafood we've ever had, and so reasonably priced. Heaps of time to meander around before and after, and the swim at Nafplion was just stunning - 10/10, loved it! :3
Ian_T, Sep 2025
Great balance of travel, exploration lead by the guide, and free time. Nafplio is incredibly beautiful and the ancient city of Corinth provides a great historical backdrop for the region. This is a good way to get a taste of the Peloponnese if you're staying in Athens and don't have a way around. Would recommend.
john_h, Aug 2025
Overall it's a very good day out. If you are worried about the meeting point, the subway is very easy to use and cheap. Our guide, Costas, was very well informed, enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. Money well spent

Demi was very knowledgeable about the history of Corinth and gave us wonderful options for free time and different archeological sites. The sea was amazing as well! Demi is an archeologist and tour guide which made her a dynamite guide.
Emily_B, Apr 2025
Vasillis, Dmitri, and Konstantinos were amazing! Very knowledgeable about Greek history and archeology. My friend and I were the only ones on the tour this day and we loved it! It felt like we were just hanging out with some friends in Nafplio and Corinth. The ruins of Corinth were amazing and the medieval city of Nafplio was gorgeous. It felt like a different world and we loved our trip, we will definitely go back!

This was a lovely to get away from athens for the day! We saw something for everyone, an archeological site, an old castle/prison, and we went to the beach. This was a great day and way to see the Peloponnese Peninsula. Our tour guide Julia was amazing and the tour was a small group and very manageable

Great site seeing, beautiful swimming stop, comfortable bus, and great tour guide Theo. Recommend wearing sneakers as some of the stops had slippery floors.
At the beach we went to Blublanc bar and restaurant. The food was good, and had a table and chairs to leave our stuff at while we swam.
Be aware it takes about 30 minutes to get to the bus pick up spot from Athens City center. It was very convenient to get there from the Metro.

Great guide and good itinerary. Would recommend visiting nafplion in slightly cooler months - it was a bit difficult to spend 4 hours in 42 degree heat! The van was air conditioned but felt a little cramped.

The day trip from Athens to Nafplio and Epidaurus was outstanding. Janis was a great, smooth driver and Theodore was knowledgeable and attentive. The van was clean, air-conditioned and had wifi - bonus. It was easy to find Theodore at the meeting point. Would definitely book with them again.
Kelly_B, May 2023
What an amazing day we had on this tour! We got to see so many parts of Greece I never would have been able to visit and we learned SO much from our host Vasil. I have never enjoyed a tour so much and laughed so much along the way. There was never a dull moment even during the parts of the drive that didn’t have anything to show. Our host even taught us some Greek while we traveled :) great experience, would definitely do any tour that Vasil hosted!

We were already excited about visiting Nafplio, but we ended up having an even better time than we expected! We made a quick stop at the Corinth canal, then Epidaurus (which was really cool), but Nafplio is such a hidden gem.
Getting to learn about the city, its history, and the history of modern Greece there was incredible but what really brought it all to life and made it extra special was the woman leading the tour - Dimitra (Demi). She is absolutely brilliant, has the best vibes, is so knowledgeable and thoughtful. I'm sure others are great too, but she was uniquely special and made our whole trip super enjoyable!
We highly recommend taking this tour!
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a stunning tour and enjoyed your time in Nafplio and Epidaurus.

The guide was very helpful and gave us a lot of information on the way to and from Nafplio. Once you arrived at the locations you had time to explore on your own. This was perfect for me! It off season so once we got to Epidaurus we pretty much had the place to ourselves!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you for your review of your trip to Nafplio. We're so glad to hear that you had a great time and found the guide to be helpful. It sounds like the itinerary was designed perfectly for introverted travelers, with plenty of time for exploration and discovery at each location.

The program might be pretty standard, but the sites really came alive due to the professional commentary of the very friendly and knowledgeable guide, who for sure gets 5 stars from me.
For the travelers who want to combine great views and important historical sites connected to the ancient and modern history of Greece, this is an ideal mix.

An AMAZING day trip!! Gary and Athena (our tour guides) were so friendly and knowledgeable, it made the day a blast. On the way we learned the history of the Pelopense, some mythology, local customs, and had a great time. The walking tour of Nafplio was beautiful, and the theater was breath taking!! Thank you Athena and Gary for a really wonderful day!

Panos and Athena were fantastic guides. They were attentive, informative, and lots of fun. We had a small group and it was a lovely, intimate experience. Due to COVID protocols we had to wear masks in transit and that made it a bit difficult to hear the rich information being shared. Maybe use of whispers could help going forward, but there was no lack of fun, laughs, and learning. Loved it!
Emmy_B, Jul 2024
