George and Christos were...

Angus_J, Apr 2026
George and Christos were both entertaining and great drivers who safely delivered us to three excellent locations. The experience is a must if you are in Athens!

Hello Angus_J, Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback! We’re truly grateful for your support and look forward to seeing you again! LS Tours and Transfers Team

Total waste of money

sheryltarkoff, Nov 2024
This was the worst private tour that I had ever booked with Viator. The driver had a dearth of knowledge that he shared with us. Totally a disaster- would do better by hiring a Uber driver. Don’t waste your time or money in this tour. Also Viator doesn’t stand behind their bookings. Avoid at all cost- try a different tour group.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hello sheryltarkoff, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations. We do not understand why you booked this private tour since you were unimpressed and negative from the beginning about the cost. Our product page explicitly states, "Our drivers are not official tour guides, but they are knowledgeable and can provide fascinating commentary in fluent English. Although they will not enter the sites with you, they can answer your questions about the places you visit with this tour". Our driver is a professional with many years of experience and has provided this tour many times with exceptional reviews. In addition, you could optionally book a licensed tour guide to accompany you to the sites, but we did not receive such a request. This is also explicitly stated on our product page. Concluding, our opinion is that if you had read carefully the details of the product you purchased, your review would be more accurate and would have helped other travelers. We try very hard to provide best-in-class services and we think this is not an indicative review for our services. Your problem from the beginning was the cost and you were negative during the whole tour. You could have made a different choice as you knew the price when booking this product. However, even from unfair reviews, some points could help us get better and we will continue to do so, to provide best-in-class service. Thank you. LS Tours and Transfers Team

A great way to see Greece

John_S, Sep 2024
Our driver Nico made our day. Arrived on time and took care that we saw everything we wanted to see. He suggested good views to film

Mind blowing adventure

Benjamin_C, Aug 2024
Great tour. Our driver (George) was a wealth of information and wonderful company. He is not a tour guide, as clearly stated in the tour description, but he had more information than we could absorb in one day. He was flexible with scheduling so we could do the sites in the order that worked us. Everything revolved around our wants and needs. Our tour started at 9AM, as scheduled, and we returned to our hotel at 6 PM. We had plenty of time at each stop since George let us visit the sites at our own pace. Be prepared for lots of walking and some steep inclines. I can highly recommend this tour

Well worth it

Gerard_S, May 2024
You can pack so much into a day with this trip. Our guide, George, was excellent. Took us to all the best spots and closest drop offs. Lunch at Bounos Fish Tavern in Nafplio was one of the best meals I’ve had in Greece. Epidaurus is the highlight although the Corinth Canal and Mycenae are a close 2nd and 3rd. We cancelled a trip to Delphi to do this one. We are glad we did. More sights, less time driving.

Charlene_G, May 2024
George was a very good guide!! We had a great day. After 2 amazing tours the days before - this just wasn’t as amazing. The places were great - it was a longer day than anticipated.

YOU WILL BE SURPRISED! ITS A MUST-DO!

Tanya_T, May 2024
This was one of my favorite days in Greece! I was VERY surprised how beautiful it was! The day provides everything- from gorgeous scenery, fascinating history, the Mediterranean Sea,etc. It is a must do! It was much more interesting than Delphi and even the Aegean, Poros& Hydra day trips.

Excellent Way to Explore the Peloponnese Region

Amanda_B, Apr 2024
My family and I (all adults) had a wonderful time on this tour. We learned a lot from our guide Alex about the history of the areas we were visiting. He was clearlt knowledgeable about the history and answered all of our many questions. We had plenty of time to visit each location and never felt rushed to get back to the vehicle and head to the next stop. We saved lunch in Nafplio for last at Alex's recommendation and had plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely lunch and stroll through town. It's really charming with many small shops of local artisans. We also had a convenient stop along the way for restrooms, coffee, and some small snacks. Overall, this was a very easy and enjoyable way to explore the Peloponnese region and learn some of its important history. I would highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the beauty of the Corinth Canal. The fortress at Mycenae was the biggest I had ever seen and the scenery was amazing.

Our delightful tour

Susan_L, Apr 2024
George was a very good guide. He shared his knowledge of the area with us and made sure we had enough time to take in all the sights. We especially enjoyed the peaceful time outside of the city. Thanks again George for sharing a part of your beautiful country with us and the delicious lunch recommendation in Napfoli.

Mauricio made our day traveling to Orvieto and Bagnoregio

Loreen_W, Apr 2024
We have taken many tours before and we were pleasantly surprised that Mauricio was much more than a driver. He was an excellent guide and described in depth the history of Orvieto and Bagnoregio. He was a pleasure to have lunch with and to spend the day with. Excellent experience and highly recommended!.

Great trip outside of Athens

Bruce_W, Nov 2023
Our driver Nikos was so accommodating with everything, provided us with many options at each site and left timing up to us. The best was we were having a late lunch with traffic beginning to build for the 2 hour ride to Athens and we asked Nikos how much time we can have for a quick meal - his reply “this is your lunch, sit down, enjoy, relax, and eat. I will be here when you are done!” By the way all of the sites were beautiful and well worth the full day.

Such a great day in Greece

Eddie_M, Jul 2023
Tholes was our driver for the day. Overall the day was amazing and exceeding our expectations! We saw all the major points of interest from Corinth Canal to Epidaures. Having lunch by the pier in Nefplio was probably the most memorable experience I’ve had with my significant other. Tholes was very accommodating and flexible. He was always providing us with water. I would highly recommend this tour!

Encyclopedia on wheels!

Jasmin_M, Jul 2023
We went on the Corinth Canal, Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidaurus Private Tour from Athens. My husband enjoys history and appreciates fellow enthusiasts and we were so fortunate to have Pericles as our guide. He’s so knowledgeable & experienced, and his wonderful narration and lively conversation allowed us to have an immersive experience that made the tour extra special.

Personalized time at each location

heather_b, Dec 2022
We had a good experience. Our tour operator was always right there with either the car or water. This tour is perfect if you want to personalize the length of time you spend at each location. There wasn’t a ton of history so you will need to do some of your own research.
