Our tour with Michael was outstanding! Corinth Canal was amazing, Mycenae a bit overpriced but interesting, Epidaurus theater just OK, and Nafplio was beautiful. A long day but Michael was very flexible and accomodating. Thanks again!

It’s a long day, but well worth it. We thought Mycenae was so interesting!! We spent extra time there, so had a little less time in Nafplio. Mike was a wonderful driver and shared a lot of interesting facts and stories along the drive and shared insight into Greek culture.

Exceptional tour

Mary_F, Apr 2026

We did the small group tour and it was just the 3 of us, excellent, personal tour with our drivers from my Athens transfers, Dimitri and Christos.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Excellent private tour

Linda_L, Apr 2026

Our private tour was with Dimitris which was very informative and taylored to what worked for us. His customer service was excellent and the tour itself was well worth the time.

Disappointed

Joey_p, Mar 2026

This day trip is very rich in history and, for me, downright fascinating. But we felt very rushed. We actually purposely skipped the first stop snd we still did not have time to make it to the last stop. If you just want to walk into the archeological site and take a couple of pics this is ok. But if you are like us and really want to take it in a group tour with a guide is much better option.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the historical aspects of the tour fascinating. At the same time, we’re sorry that the experience felt rushed and that you didn’t have the opportunity to fully enjoy all the planned stops. We would like to clarify that this is a private tour, which means the itinerary and the time spent at each site can be adjusted according to your preferences. This flexibility is one of the key advantages of a private experience, allowing guests to set their own pace, spend more time at the locations they find most interesting, or skip others altogether. Additionally, our driver did not rush the schedule during your tour. We always aim to follow the pace preferred by our guests, and we would have been happy to adjust the itinerary further if we had been informed during the day. We would also like to mention that our product page includes a very detailed itinerary, with the estimated time spent at each stop, so guests can have a clear understanding of the tour’s structure in advance. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve and better communicate the flexibility and details of our tours to future travelers. Thank you again for choosing us.

Wonderful Day Trip with George

Viviana_B, Jan 2026

George, our driver was a wonderful, kind, sweet and very knowledgeable driver and guide. We had conversations about Greece’s history and gave us a summary of each place we would be visiting on our tour. He allowed us plenty time at each sight to walk around and take it all in while he patiently waited for us. If I knew in advance that George would have been our driver, I would have hired him to take me everywhere for my first experience in Greece. Ryan and I are so very grateful to him and thank him for all the suggestions for any future trips back to Greece.

Excellent tour. The stops were interesting and the guide did an excellent job describing the places and pacing the tour so we had time to do things we wanted to do at our pace. He was very personable, professional and made it an enjoyable day.

Fantastic day spent with our driver/guide, Notis

Janice_M, Oct 2025

We had a wonderful day, in spite of rain, visiting Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Napflio with Notis as our driver and guide. We made a stop at the Corinth Canal on the way to Mycenae. Notis was very friendly and accommodating. He shared so much information about Greece - the area and sites we saw, the local history, culture, and daily life in the area we were visiting, as well as Greece, in general. He allowed us adequate time to visit the ruins at both Mycenae and Epidaurus, which were amazing, and thankfully the rain stopped for these explorations. We finished the day at a lovely restaurant in Napflio, enjoyed a wonderful lunch of pasta and langostinos, and shared an exceptional Greek wine. We were transiting from one hotel to another at the end of our trip. Notis picked us up promptly at one hotel in the morning, and delivered us safe and sound to our airport hotel in the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and driver. The day was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Fantastic Tour of this Historical Region

Yunaima_H, Aug 2025

Fantastic tour of Mycanae, Epidaurus, Napflio and the Corinth Canal. Petros, our driver and guide, was super knowledgeable and did an amazing job of not only showing us the sites but also explaining a lot of the history and significance of what we were going to see. We had alot of time to explore independently and Petros was always prompt picking us up. He made a great recommendation for lunch in Napflio and I would definitely recommend this tour and Petros as your guide.

Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Nafplio - Well worth leaving Athens to experience!!

Mickey_A, Jul 2025

The Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Nafplio excursion was a wonderful way to get a flavor of the peninsula scenery along with the very well preserved ruins and Lions Gate of Mycenae museum . The acoustically amazing theater and treasury in Epidaurus were certainly worth the drive from Athens. A seafood lunch (included in the tour price!) on the sailboat-filled docks in Nafplio topped off an excellent tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Excellent tour

Stacey_G, Jul 2025

Fotis was an excellent tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Greece and about all the sites on this tour. He was right on time. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful. We had a wonderful day with him. The sites and views were spectacular and we particularly loved the town of Nafplio.

Fantastic Experience Going at our Own Pace!!

Philippa_M, Jun 2025

We had a fantastic trip we could see all the major sights in this area of Greece in one day. Alex was an outstanding driver, the car was luxurious, the drinks icy and he was very informative and all round great guy! It was so wonderful to have a private car and go at our own pace. We both really enjoyed the day seeing the sights and learning about the history.

I cannot recommend this tour company enough! Kosta was our tour guide and he was probably the best tour guide we have ever had. He was organized and so knowledgeable about the history of our sites and started by giving us a detailed background of the Greek myths and gods with visual materials. The drives went by fast. He was funny and very enjoyable to speak with. Highly recommend!!!!

holly_h, May 2025

A full day of adventures and sightseeing. Every place more beautiful than the next! A must do if your have an interest in history and Greece beyond Athens. We had Fotis as our guide who could not have been more gracious and filled with knowledge as to the history of Greece and it's people. From the minute we met him, he could not have been more polite or accommodating in an effort to make our day the best it could possibly be. In short, he was wonderful!

Archaeological Sites Day Tour with Spyros

krvz5ssgvk, Mar 2025

Spyro is a fantastic driver with loads of good information to provide regarding the sites. He is very laid back and my brother and I trusted him to get us to our destinations safely. Every site was beautiful. I highly recommend Nafplio and Mycenae as well as the canal and the others, I took over 500 photos and videos. This private tour with Spyro was the highlight of my trip!

Very educational and interesting

Randy_S, Feb 2025

This tour was very good and educational. The tour guide shared a lot of knowledge and was very friendly and professional. The sites visited were amazing and lunch was great. There is a lot of time in the vehicle riding to and from the three sites so if you do not like that this tour may not be for you. For us it was a chance to see the Greek countryside full of olive and orange trees.
