Good value tour - Despite the hot weather this tour was very good value for a one day event. We got to see some items on our bucket list Mycenae and the Ancient theatre at Epidaurus. The small coach we had was very comfy and the air conditioning worked a treat.

Great day out - Great trip that lets you experience some of the oldest and most iconic places from ancient Greece. Even the bus trip was really scenic! Highly recommend!

Easy and Affordable Way to Visit Must-See Places - This trip went from Athens to Mycenae first (where we saw the Treasury of Atreus followed by the palace), then to lunch, then stopped in Nafplio, and then finished up at Epidaurus before returning to Athens. Mycenae and Epidaurus are fascinating archaeological sites. I booked this trip mainly for Mycenae, but I think I ended up enjoying Epidaurus even more. The theatre is impressive, of course, but the Sanctuary of Asclepius is also well worth seeing. Our guide was just okay. She was knowledgeable but sometimes took a sarcastic tone (not sure why), and she laughed after everything she said whether or not it was funny. After a while, I found it annoying. Most of the people in our group opted for lunch on their own. Those of us who did the group lunch were taken to a hotel restaurant near Nafplio. The menu consisted of an appetizer of cheese pie, a salad, and a main course of some kind of beef with vegetables. I'm vegetarian, so I figured I would just make do with the appetizer and the salad, but the restaurant staff very kindly prepared a vegetarian pasta for me. Dessert was chocolate cake with ice-cream. (It was a HUGE lunch.) The food was good and served in a pleasant environment. After lunch, we went to Nafplio to pick up the people who had been dropped off to have lunch on their own. Our guide pointed out some of the sites, which was interesting but only took about five minutes. We were then given 40 minutes on our own in Nafplio to "take photos." I don't really understand the point of this long hiatus, especially given that it was 100 degrees outside and not pleasant weather for randomly strolling around. I got an iced tea and bought a couple of hand painted magnets. I appreciated that regular bathroom stops were built into the trip. I once spent the majority of a 3.5 hour drive from Delphi to Athens in desperate need of a bathroom break, and I was very glad to not have to repeat that experience! Overall, I feel that the trip merits five stars because it is an economical, convenient, and mostly efficient way to see some impressive and important historical sites that should not be missed. I recommend it.

Great visit to Mycenae & Epidaurus! - Fortini was terrific guide and provided interesting background history and was very knowledgable and able to answer all our questions. The driver was very cautious and smooth. We had a great time and also enjoyed the lunch at Hotel Amalia.

Good day out in Epidaurus & Mycenae. - Good tour! It did exactly what I wanted. I met the tour at the departure hotel with no problem. I opted out of the included lunch, and had a Greek salad at the restaurant stop instead.

Lions gate, royal tombs... - Lions gate, royal tombs and Epidaurus theater were the unforgettable hotspots. Lunch at Amilia hotel was too heavy. The guide was excellent with very strong knowledge and clear explanations. Maybe a few breaks in her descriptions would help digest information.

Great to visit Mycenea - The trip was very interesting and the guide told a lot about the history of the place. She was speaking both English and French. But it was a little bit tiresome to here the whole story twice.

Just okay - Tour was good as sites are extraordinary. Lunch was disappointing. Poor service, main corse of dry meat paddies and over the top mustard sauce on potatoes. Booked an english speaking tour but guide spoke mostly French with English sparingly as an after thought.

Must sees, but rushed - Our guide, Thomas, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the trip and his energy was contagious. First stop was a food/ WC stop at the Corinth canal. Sodas cost twice what they did at a grocery store in town but the WC was clean and the 20 minutes allotted was perfect. The theatre at epidouras is a must see, but so is the sanctuary of Asclepius. No way can you see both in 1 hour. Nafplio is a beautiful town but a 30 minute stop in the harbor is a waste of time. Mycenea was also spectacular and the attached museum was wonderful for both the artifacts and the relief from the outdoor heat. Lunch was optional, meaning you could prepay for a fixed menu or go on your own. I chose the latter but there were no other options where the bus parked. You had 1 hour at the same restaurant as everyone else. I had the lamb and it was dry and tasteless. The staff were about as happy to see us as I was to be there with no other choices. Best part of the meal were the 6 cherries we were given as complimentary dessert. The subsequent 30-45 minutes in the ceramic shop was, for me, more wasted time. My suggestion, if you have the time, is to go on your own (self drive or private tour) and consider staying in Nafplio, and then continuing on to Delphi, on your own.

Mycanae was great. The... - Mycanae was great. The guide was informative and there was enough time to see the site. Epidaurus was disappointing. The amphitheatre was great but we did not see any of the other ruins. We wasted time at a pottery shop and a side trip to napflio instead.
