Great tour

Marie_D, Feb 2026

I am in love with Nafplio! Such a beautiful town and stunning views. I only wish that I could spend more time there!

A tour of Nafplio

Veronica_S, Jul 2025

This was such a wonderful way to get a different perspective of Greece. We enjoy our tour guide very much. It such a beautiful drive seeing the orange, & olive orchards. The mountains were beautiful as well. The town was charming, clean and we had a wonderful time. Consider this tour after being in Athens!!

A must do day trip

Maryam_N, Jul 2025

This tour was a highlight of our trip to Greece! Everything was smooth and well-organized from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the drive was scenic and relaxing. Nafplio was absolutely stunning—full of charm, history, and incredible views. We loved exploring the fortress, walking the picturesque streets, and enjoying some local bites by the sea. There was a great balance of guided stops and free time. If you’re in Athens and want to see more of Greece’s beauty, this day trip is a must. Highly recommend

Day tour to Nafplio

Alexandra_S, Jun 2025

Our driver was a great guy, on time and pleasant. Sadly, we were disappointed as there was no information, historical background or bit of helpful information shared. His role was evidently that of a driver and no more. It would have been cheaper to hire a taxi.

Our guide was very...

Amy_C, May 2025

Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He provided a comfortable ride, drove safely and enjoyed our conversation with him. Highly recommend this experience.

Great place to visit!...

Great place to visit! Our driver was very nice and took care of us, he was very knowledgeable! Thanks Theo

Wonderful experience!

Edyta_B, Sep 2024

Our driver was Andreus and he was really informative, polite and thoughtful. Great driver. Felt safe. Lovely to chat to. The canal, fortress and town of Nafplio was beautiful. I am so happy we did this tour. Really satisfied and recommend it to everyone. Kid friendly too.

Great tour with amazing sights for a partial day escape

Brent_S, Jun 2024

This is a great trip to do from Athens if you want to get away to somewhere completely different, but only have part of a day. Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed every part. Palamidi Castle has amazing views. Corinth Canal is neat, but you only need to spend a few minutes there. Nafplio is nice and has amazing food. The timing is just right for everything. Our driver was nice and very knowledgeable about everything on the tour and a few other places we passed. I would highly recommend the tour.

Theo was our driver. So...

Catherine_E, Jun 2024

Theo was our driver. So knowledgeable and kind. And such a good driver! It was a great day and the little Venice inspired town was a treasure.

A wonderful day trip to Nafplion

Kathy_H, May 2024

We had a lovely day visiting Nafplion, the Fortress of Palamidi and the canal in Corinth. The scenery was spectacular and the old town was very vibrant and charming. Dimitrius was an excellent driver. He was very engaging and attentive, and wanted to ensure we enjoyed our day. What a great day we had!

A good experience

Ety_D, May 2024

We were picked up on time by our guide, Lazarus. He was polite, provided us with a lot of information. He was attentive to our needs and desires. We had a good time with him

Great day trip from Athens

Bonnie_H, May 2024

We made numerous changes to their itinerary, and they were more than happy to do so. We added the Athens Monastery (UNESCO SITE)and skipped Corinth, since our 10 day guided tour later in the week was going to Corinth.

Cultural Insight

Charles_A, May 2024

Dialog with tour guide. Learned about Greek history, current Greek culture, and issues impacting Greek citizens today.

Had a very pleasant...

Virginia_R, Oct 2023

Had a very pleasant experience with Petros as my driver. He made a stop at the remarkable Corinth Canal, drove me to Palamidi castle where the views are spectacular and dropped me off in Nafplio city center to shop and eat lunch. Nafplio is a beautiful coastal town to explore.

Memorable

Don_L, Jun 2023

Great drive and driver. Got to see allot of countryside. Had flexibility to see and do what we wanted including wine tasting.

Definitely worth it!

Autumn_B, Jun 2023

Petros was a great guide! The agency was more than happy to accommodate a different departure time for us and Petros even helped us find a great spot to eat dinner in Nafplio! We didn’t feel rushed at all and was able to enjoy everything we wanted to!

Our excellent tour guide, Peter.

Patrice_B, May 2023

Peter was a wonderful tour guide. He was friendly, was very easy to converse with, was willing to explain things as we traveled and his English is very good. Peter was helpful, prompt and courteous throughout the day. The sites were also memorable but it was Peter that made the trip most memorable for Patrice and Alan.

Great excursion to Nafplio

Karen_R, Apr 2023

Nafplio was absolutely beautiful - we enjoyed visiting Palamidi castle and touring the old town. It is a perfect one day excursion from Athens. Theofilos was an excellent driver - informative and fun to talk with. It was a great experience - would highly recommend.
