Very professional service - highly recommend! - This is the 3rd tour I’ve booked with LS Tours and the experience has always been great. Good communication and quick replies to queries. (We wanted to adjust the itinerary and they were very accommodating and made helpful suggestions so we could get the most from the tour.) The tour was brilliant we were lucky with exceptional weather, and Alex, our driver would drop us at the entrance and was there to pick us up. Alex was also knowledgeable about each site as well as other bits of interest we passed along the way. Definitely worth it - a thoroughly enjoyable day!

Mind blowing adventure - Great tour. Our driver (George) was a wealth of information and wonderful company. He is not a tour guide, as clearly stated in the tour description, but he had more information than we could absorb in one day. He was flexible with scheduling so we could do the sites in the order that worked us. Everything revolved around our wants and needs. Our tour started at 9AM, as scheduled, and we returned to our hotel at 6 PM. We had plenty of time at each stop since George let us visit the sites at our own pace. Be prepared for lots of walking and some steep inclines. I can highly recommend this tour

Well worth it - You can pack so much into a day with this trip. Our guide, George, was excellent. Took us to all the best spots and closest drop offs. Lunch at Bounos Fish Tavern in Nafplio was one of the best meals I’ve had in Greece. Epidaurus is the highlight although the Corinth Canal and Mycenae are a close 2nd and 3rd. We cancelled a trip to Delphi to do this one. We are glad we did. More sights, less time driving.

Wonderful Day Trip from Athens - Our recent private tour with our driver Alex was an unforgettable adventure that merits a full five stars! From the start, Alex’s professionalism, friendliness, and deep knowledge of the area's history made the trip exceptional. We began at the Corinth Canal, a must see engineering marvel. Given that we had already visited Nafplion, Alex expertly suggested that we visit Ancient Corinth instead which allowed us to also visit the Acrocorinth fort. Mycenae was a highlight, with its fascinating archaeological sites and the legendary Lion’s Gate. Finally, at Epidaurus, we were captivated by the ancient theater's perfect acoustics and stunning architecture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore these historical treasures. Five stars!

Long day - George was a very good guide!! We had a great day. After 2 amazing tours the days before - this just wasn’t as amazing. The places were great - it was a longer day than anticipated.

YOU WILL BE SURPRISED! ITS A MUST-DO! - This was one of my favorite days in Greece! I was VERY surprised how beautiful it was! The day provides everything- from gorgeous scenery, fascinating history, the Mediterranean Sea,etc. It is a must do! It was much more interesting than Delphi and even the Aegean, Poros& Hydra day trips.

Excellent Way to Explore the Peloponnese Region - My family and I (all adults) had a wonderful time on this tour. We learned a lot from our guide Alex about the history of the areas we were visiting. He was clearlt knowledgeable about the history and answered all of our many questions. We had plenty of time to visit each location and never felt rushed to get back to the vehicle and head to the next stop. We saved lunch in Nafplio for last at Alex's recommendation and had plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely lunch and stroll through town. It's really charming with many small shops of local artisans. We also had a convenient stop along the way for restrooms, coffee, and some small snacks. Overall, this was a very easy and enjoyable way to explore the Peloponnese region and learn some of its important history. I would highly recommend!
