Wonderful day tour

Qingna_Z, Apr 2026

We truly had a wonderful experience yesterday. Our driver and guide, Yannis was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire day. He shared so much interesting history in a way that was engaging and easy to follow that my daughter enjoyed a lot. His recommendations were spot on. What really stood out was his genuine care in making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Nothing felt rushed, and he was always attentive to our interests and needs. Highly recommended!

Our driver Peter was...

Friedrich_W, Sep 2025

Our driver Peter was extremely knowledgeable about Greek history and archaeology. He provided comprehensive background info for the places where we visited. He had great humor and personality. And he had gone out of his way to help my wife shop for the stuff she looked for. In short, he was gold standard for a driver/guide.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Friedrick! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Peter made your Nafplio, Mycenae, and Epidaurus tour so memorable. We’re glad he delivered a “gold standard” experience and hope to welcome you back again! Warm regards, Ancient Greece Tours & Transfers

Great day of Greek history

Robert_J, Jul 2025

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Amazing, Customer Oriented, Generous, Knowledgeable and Fun!

Michelle_R, Jun 2024

Despite having our tour on the hottest day of the heatwave, our tour guide, Tas was amazing! Not only was he extremely informative, punctual, helpful, courteous, funny, entertaining, customer oriented, and generous with his time, he was also extremely knowledgeable of his history and even current events for the region which was fun to listen to while engaging with our son who is a history major. He kept us hydrated, engaged, and equipped us with relevant as well as surprising tidbits at each site that we weren’t able to gain on our own by reading online or in books. We finished our day in Nafplio at a delicious restaurant and then the best ice cream shop before driving us home. If you want to really learn about the history of these spots while having a fun and engaging conversation throughout the day, you must take a tour with Tas!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that despite the heatwave, you had such a fantastic experience with Tas. He truly embodies our commitment to providing informative and enjoyable tours. It's great to know that his knowledge and engaging manner made your day memorable, especially for your history-loving son. We hope to welcome you back soon for more enriching adventures in ancient Greece!

Fantastic Tour

Jessica_S, May 2024

This was a wonderful tour, all of the sites we saw were fantastic and such beautiful scenery. While they were all great Nafplio was our favorite, we could easily spend a few days in that village. Our tour guide George was terrific, he was friendly and open to working with our schedule to give us more time or less time at each site as we wanted. We would absolutely do this tour again.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi Jessica, we're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience exploring ancient Greece with us! Nafplio is indeed a gem, and we're delighted it captured your heart. George is a true asset to our team, and your praise of his flexibility and friendliness means a lot. We can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey through history! Best regards from Greece - AGT Team

Learning about Greece

Kathleen_B, Nov 2023

It was a wonderful learning experience and the area was beautiful. Our guide Yannis took extra time with us and made it one of our best experiences in Europe. I would recommend this trip to anyone that wants to get away from the busy large cities in Europe.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you so much for choosing our private tour and for sharing your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Yannis and enjoyed exploring the beautiful sites of Nafplio, Mycenae, Epidaurus, and the Isthmus Canal. It’s always a pleasure to offer guests a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the big cities and dive into the rich history of Greece. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you’ll tell your friends about us. Warm regards from Athens and the Team at Ancient Greece Tours & Transfers!

Great day in Argolis

Aleka_S, Jul 2023

Eirini was a great driver and guide throughout the day - she tailored our experience to our preferences (I opted to go to acrocorinth instead of Corinth canal which was incredible if a steep climb) and never rushed us. The car was very nice and she had water and a snack waiting. A very pleasant way to go see a busy Argolis itinerary without the stress of renting and driving yourselves. Since it is not a guide who accompanies you to the sites, I suggest reading up on the sites or listening to a podcast during the drive but she had information to share as well.

Wonderful tour! Wonderful Guide!

Debra_X, Jul 2023

Our lovely tour guide ειρηνη (Irini) drove us around all day, while sharing helpful information about the sites we visited. She even helped us with the itinerary to make the best use of our time. The car was stocked with snacks, water and juice. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic Tour - Highly Recommended

Craig_G, Aug 2022

Private tour of Nafplio, Mycenae, Epidaurus & Canal

Lovescastles, Sep 2019

We enjoyed our tour that day. It was very informative, fun, and stress free. The scenery was great and the places visited were worth the visit. Our guide made the day very enjoyable. He picked us up from the cruise port and returned us later in the day at our hotel in Athens center. It was a special request and they accommodated it. We liked Nafplio and the canal the best. We stopped for lunch at a place he knew and it was very good. The day require some walking and climbing but we were just fine with it.
