Great excursion! Highly recommend!

Nedra_C, Apr 2026

We explored the ancient ruins of Mycenae and then the large stadium of Epidavros. It was a very sweet and peaceful excursion. We were driven to the sites and then experienced it on our own - which was excellent for us. Our pickup and dropoff was easy and timely.

Christos was our driver....

Miriam_S, Mar 2026

Christos was our driver. He was attentive, timely, and took good care of our group of 3. We greatly appreciated his sharing of his love for his city. We enjoyed our time with him

Wonderful tour

Stella_H, Jan 2026

Our driver Kostas was very helpful. He was friendly and prompt. He is not a tour guide. He is driver who picks you up from your hotel, drives you to the designated ancient sites then finally back to your hotel.

Nice visit

Rosario_G, Oct 2025

Good experience to visit two archeological sites from Nafplio very easily The trip was practical and efficient.

False advertising- no audio included

Maria_P, Oct 2025

Said there was an audio tour which was a lie. Driver only. The driver tried to call the company they didn’t answer. This is not acceptable. I have a hire car I could have driven my self. Poor driver was embarrassed and played a 2min clip from YouTube to try make the best of the situation.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Non of our tours include audio guide. The inclution was added by Viator automatically. We have informed the client the previous day by message through Viator, that there is no guide of any kind to the booking they selectd. The client was fully informed. the driver indeed contacted the company, which explained exactly the inclutions for this booking once again. All calls to the company are always getting through.

Great driver. Friendly...

Caroline_C, Apr 2025

Great driver. Friendly and informative. Explore each site on your own while you know that your driver is there waiting for you when you are done. Driver recommended a great lunch spot outside of Mikines.

Viator Misrepresentation

AndreaNicole_B, Oct 2024

Unfortunately there was a major communication issue with Viator as to the content of this tour. We were picked up at our hotel by a private car and driver. He drove us to the two locations and left us to explore by ourselves. This cost nearly $200. We could have done this by ourselves since we had a rental car. Very very disappointing. I do not ever plan to use Viator again because of this misrepresentation.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for booking a tour with us There is obviously a misunderstanding of the description ofthe tour, where it is very clear that a guide IS NOT INCLUDED Please check what is included in the tour on the following link https://www.uniquegreektours.com/en/private_tours/nafplion-mycenae-epidavros/ Thank you also for pointing out that this is a Viator misrepresentation. It would be wise to make this review to Viator instead of our agency. Remaining at your service Unique Greek Tours Team

Rich History!

Amy_S, Oct 2024

Very kind & knowledgeable tour guide!! We had to go the private route because we were so far out from the meeting point. A little expensive, but we were able to go at our own pace at each stop which was nice. This company is very nice & will work with you on transportation!

Not “GUIDED” tour as mentioned in description.

Mari_A, Sep 2024

This was not “ guided tour has mentioned in description. Driver was very nice and professional BUT strictly only a driver . Description needs to be changed to “NOT” guided.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

It is very clear that we can provide a guide uppon request with as extra cost The inclusions as mentioned in the tour's description follow : Includes Return transfer from Nafplion Pick up from your Hotel or our meeting point Meet a professional licensed guide to the archaeological sites upon request with an extra cost Liability Taxes Also please find the link of the tour FYI https://www.uniquegreektours.com/en/private_tours/nafplion-mycenae-epidavros/ Remaining at your disposal Unique Greek Tours

Ancient and fascinating

Indre_P, Sep 2024

It's fascinating to visit such ancient sites. Places like this need to be preserved. To see them stirs your imagination about what life was like thousands of years ago.

Nice and safe drive, two nice sites.

Pierre_G, Apr 2024

Nice tour. Driver was friendly and drove safely. The only thing was that an extra 30 minutes per sites would be appreciated as we had to rush a little with the 90 minutes allowed.

Basically an expensive taxi ride. No tour. We were very disappointed. Avoid this tour goup

Andrew_R, Oct 2023

We paid for a tour, and just got transportation. A real rip-off. The next day we took a different Viator tour in a different place, paid less and got so much more.

Great experience

Sherry_M, Sep 2023

Tour guide Nico was excellent. Although not as fluent in English as some of our other tour guides he had informative cassettes playing while driving to make up for it. He was extremely kind and accommodating. He went out of his way to take us places we wanted to see. The Mycenae ruins and Epidavros amphitheater is AMAZING. must see.

Great experience!

Samantha_S, Apr 2023

The tour is exactly as described and it exceeded our expectations. Our driver was friendly, courteous and was eager to share a wealth of information with us about various parts of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

Parfaite excursion!

Daniel_L, Feb 2025

Parfait! Véhicule privé luxueux (JaguarVUS)! Rapide et courtois! Je conseille si vous n’aimez pas les gros autobus touristiques!

Griechische Historie eindrucksvoll vermittelt

Ulrike_M, Oct 2022

Die beiden Orte waren höchst eindrucksvoll und wunderbar gelegen. Die in Epidaurus dazu gebuchte Führung war exzellent informativ und charmant individuell. Dazu kam die Bustour in einem perfekt ausgestatteten 15-Sitzer mit einem freundlichen, hilfsbereiten Fahrer. Exzellent!
