Great history lesson

Lynne_H, May 2024

Georgia did a great job explaining all the history of the sites and the drive was pleasurable. If you like history, your time will be rewarded

Mycenae, Napflio and Epidaurus

Pamela_O, May 2024

This tour was amazing. Theodore, our guide was exceptional, knowledgeable and passionate about the history of his homeland. There was only 8 people in the tour that made it easier and comfortable. Compliments also the the driver, very professional. Thank you Theodore for taking us to a nice gyros lunch followed by a tour of the town. Would recommend this tour

Perfect day trip from Athens!

James_R, May 2024

A great day trip from Athens. Iliana, our tour guide, was incredible. She was very friendly and her knowledge of Greek history and mythology was amazing. Bill, our driver, kept us safe on the roads navigating through congested areas with professionalism. The tour guides at the sites were friendly and knowledgeable.

Perfect side trip from Athens

Tina_W, Apr 2024

Perfect trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed each site and learned from our knowledgeable guides. Highly recommend.

Excellent day trip

Jelly_V, Apr 2024

Wonderful tour! Stunning views, interesting sites and everything was organised well. Our guide Georgia was great.

Highly recommended.

Konstantin_A, Apr 2024

Excellent Trip! Guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. A wonderful way to see Central Greece. Recommend!

History, culture and some laughs

David_G, Apr 2024

Our guide was really friendly and so informative. The guide at Mycenae and Epidavros was also excellent. We enjoyed a guided walk around Nafplio. Everything was good

Great day trip out of Athens!

Selena_S, Apr 2024

This was one of our first tours in Greece and I essentially forced my jet-lagged mother to tag along but she had a great time (see photos). Our tour guide Theodore made the drive out to the sites extra enjoyable with his introductions and anecdotes, and we particularly enjoyed his optional walking tour through Nafplio which is a beautiful area, a must-see if you have the opportunity while in Greece. Patty was also very personable and gave valuable insights at each of our historical stops. On top of everything else the van was very comfortable and very clean, Dionysis the driver ensured we had a smooth trip!

Nicely organized trip....

Aleksandra_I, Apr 2024

Nicely organized trip. But .... Our guide was talking about food 60% of the time and 40% about history. Also we have separated in Na , I have chosen an option to walk about town by myself. Guide noted 3 times not to be late..Than group was 35 min late. They sent me message on Whatsapp. Do not use that app, did not have internet on my phone. Giude just could have called me. Did not even apologize. End up spending 30 min less in Epidaurus. One off the most famous historical places in the World. So, no, I can't recommend this agency. There are in Athens much more professional agencies. Lucky for me I found it and went to other tours with them

Great tour! Definitely recommend it to anyone.

Esteban_C, Apr 2024

We had an excellent day with Theodore, our tour guide. He made the day very interesting and went out of his way to make the tour even better. Overall great organization, transport, punctuality and scheduling. It was a great trip with no wasted time. A long day that went by very fast -like all well lived days. Could improve on pick up location. We had to walk to another hotel and then went by our own.

Nice

Matthew_Z, Apr 2024

Theo, Theo, and Alexander were great. They picked us up a block from our hotel. Younger Theo gave a history overview during the drive. Corinth Canal is a convenient rest stop. 2nd Theo joined for Mycenae and later again for Theatre of Epidaurus. He was passionate about history/health and helped navigate the student crowds (it was a weekend during their spring break). We opted for the walking tour/gyro (it was great and our most affordable meal in Greece) in Nafplio. Drop off was late enough in the day we avoided the worst of Athens traffic. It was around 2hrs back and most of us napped. Nice people.

Full Day Tour From Athens

Fulton_H, Apr 2024

Terrific tour from Athens. Got to walk the historic sites listed, and also had a terrific walking tour in Naphlion with our guide Theodore. He was knowledgeable, and definitely made our tour!

Unexpected private tour since it was a very small group.

SimoneLouise_H, Mar 2024

I'm so glad I booked this comprehensive package to make travelling outside of Athens easier. The tour guides and the travel were all amazing. I've always wanted to go to Mycenae and I'm very glad I did it with viator. It was easy from start to finish. The unexpected highlight was Nafplio I fell in love with the beautiful place. x

Great Tour out of Athens

Daniel_B, Feb 2024

Theo was a terrific tour guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. Definitely would recommend this tour if you have a full day.

Our tour leader, Despina,...

Susan_M, Jan 2024

Our tour leader, Despina, was wonderful. The trip was professionally managed. She was knowledgeable, funny, and made our journey come alive with historical references, anecdotes, and stories. She also connected us with on-site guides who were able to ring depth to the sites we visited. A memorable experience! Susan NYC

A memorable day well guided and professional.

sarah_p, Oct 2023

Our guide Despina was superb. Very knowledgeable and gave us a perfect amount of information. Superb trip. Each location was paced well. Our guide at Epidaurus and Mycenae was professional, clear and interacted well with our group. Highly recommend this trip and especially our guide and driver. A long day made relaxing and memorable

Get out of Athens and Explore Greece.

NeilK, Oct 2023

What a great day. We ended up with private tour with Alexandros and he was perfect and knowledgeable and so easy to interact with. We wanted to see more than Athens, see Greece for its beauty and its history. Starting with a short stop at the Corinth Canal which divided mainland Greece from the Peloponnese. From there we were met with our guide in Epidaurus, Theodopolis, who started by explaining the history of the 12 Greek Gods and how they play a role into your in being. The highlight of the stop was the explanation of the guide and a visit to the ancient theater. We were told how the acoustics were perfect and he demonstrated how a coming dropping on a center point can be heard in the last row of the theater. Next stop was Nafplio a beautiful seaside town where Alex joined us for a walk around the town. Our last stop was Mycenae where Katerina guided us through the prehistoric history dating back over 3000 years ago. First visiting the museum with many artifacts that give meaning to history that has no written background. Finishing with Cyclopean Walls, the Lion’s Gate and the Royal Tombs. The guides added so much depth to our tour but Alex was the star. If you want to explore Greece away from the typical Acropolis tour, Alex is the one to give you a great day of exploration.

Amazing tour

Derek_L, Oct 2023

The trip was excellent - a lot of ground to cover but it was worth it The van was great, only six of us on a van that could hold 15+. Picked us up right in front of our hotel and dropped us off there The guides were fantastic and friendly Was hesitant to book at first but it was amazing - do not worry about booking with this company

A great expérience!

Nathalie_C, Aug 2023

We had a wonderful time, our driver Vasil was very helpful and generous of his time. And our guide Patti was very knownledgeable, making this visit truly interesting and fun, learning a lot about the locations we visited.

Amazing Experience

Alice_F, Jun 2023

I cannot recommend this highly enough. The tour was informative and took us to see some incredible places. Mycenae and Epidaurus are must see sites for anyone interested in Greek history or archaeology, and Nafplio is a wonderful town to explore.
