Nafplio is a quaint and lovely town worth the day trip. The food choices are excellent with fresh ‘off the water’ seafood. George our driver was an excellent and friendly driver.”

“This was a spectacular experience! Both the driver and guide (Spiro and Emilia) were absolute professionals - experienced, friendly, fully prepared and organized, and they worked very well together. I always felt we were in capable hands, and I think Emilia must be a professional historian because her knowledge was extensive and she presented the material in very clear English. Both she and Spiro were attentive to any special needs and very conscientious in keeping track of us. It was a small group so we had a mini-coach - very comfortable and clean and smooth riding. The 3 hotels were all in the Amalia chain and I liked them very…”

“This is the second tour we booked with this company, and we weren’t disappointed at all. From start to finish, everything was organized to perfection. The towns where we stopped were really beautiful. Unfortunately, it was raining, so we couldn't swim, but we still had a great time. However, it would have been appreciated if they had dropped us off at Syntagma like the Poseidon tour, as we were all tired for the metro. Just a small note: you need to pay an additional €20 per person for the entrance fees, and when they take you to the castle, there's nothing else to do for the hour-long stop unless you…”

“The experiance was wonderful. Especially because of helplfull, nice and smile tour leader - Dido. I wish everyone had a tour leader like she was. I will have only good memories. Also big thank you to our driver - Dimitri. Riding with him was a nice experiance too. You could tell he was an experienced driver. The only thing I think could be changed is to shorten the time spent visiting Mycenae (at least by half an hour) and add that time to Nafplio. This city has so much to offer. Despite this, I highly recommend it!”

Review of a private Athens tour to Ancient Corinth, Epidaurus, and Nafplio, with private transfers, lunch, history, and practical booking advice.

“I have to admit that when i booked this i wasn't sure what to expect and even thought about cancelling. I am glad i didn't, it was totally worth it and our Driver Fotis was awesome, he made the trip worth it. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed all the sights we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. We were staying in Athens for a few days before taking a cruise and my son wanted to venture out away from Athens to see some of the sight and thats why we booked this. Fotis was awesome, great guy, even better driver and very knowledgeable of Greek history.…”

“Absolutely fantastic day trip. My partner is not as excited by Ancient Greece as I am, but we both loved the tour. Theodor had something appealing for the history nerd and novice alike and the sites covered a wide range of Greek history and culture. Theodor and Vasileos were both friendly from the get-go and made us feel welcomed on the tour, and even were kind enough to find a vegetarian restaurant for using Nafplio. A real delight to spend the day with them seeing the stunning sites. Patty was also knowledgable and had great insight into some of the unique features of the museums and archaeology of the area.…”
