Archaelogical tour - This historical tour of the Archaelogical Site of Corinth, Mycenae, Epidauvrous and Nafplio was a great learning experience outside the classroom. Michael was very informative about the history of these places. He was very courteous and friendly. He made sure that we were comfortable while on tour. Thank you, Michael for the experience.

Ärgolis Tour - Christos, our driver, was very accommodating on a day when it was 40 degrees Celsius in Athens. A very knowledgeable person and good driver. I felt sorry for him having to wait in the heat while we explored each site. He said we must be "brave" doing this on such a hot day; I suggested a different word that was not as pleasant. Nice airconditioned car, supplied with bottles of water, fruit juice and biscuits. We used Yomadic Tours and Transfers for all our transfers from the airport to the city and return and the city to Piraeus and return. Great company and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.

A Day in the Peloponnese - We highly recommend Dimitrios! He is an excellent driver, knowledgeable about the area and above all, he was engaging, responsive and intuitive. He gave us choices with information to enable us to decide. He did not hurry us and was always respectful and pleasant.

Great tour and tour company - We love our full day tour. The itinerary was perfect that covers great historical sites. Our driver, Dimitrios, is great, very patient and friendly. He is passionate with Greek history and shared a lot of insights with us about both ancient and modern life of Greek. He also gave excellent recommendations on restaurant and Gelato places in Nafplio. In addition, the communication with the tour company is timely, informative and helpful. Highly recommended tour and tour company!

Great experience! - We have had a wonderful private tour, which was the best way to see that many sights and still be on a schedule that works just for you. Our driver, Dimitrios, was excellent. We really liked our conversations which ranged from ancient mythology to modern economy and having him point out all the trip's highlights has made this trip really enjoyable. Highly recommended.

A fascinating trip - We joined an 8 hour tour to ancient Corinth, Mycenae. Nafplio on October 2, 2023 and our driver guide is Costas. Costas has given us a sincere and professional impression. He texts to say hi to us in advance and comes to pick up us on time. This 8 hr tour is a combination of walk and talk while visiting those key sights shown on the leaflet. He not only tells us the history of the places we visit, he also gives us a lots of interesting information of Greece. This 8 hour journey is no boring. Costas’s car is comfortable for 2 passengers and he has given us a smooth and safe trip. Last but not least, he recommends us to a wonderful Greek restaurant for lunch. In where we taste genuine, mouth-watering Greek food.

Not to miss tour - Our full day tour of Ancient Corinth was amazing. From the outstanding knowledge and education to taking us to the best sites and ending with a fabulous seaside meal was so memorable. His personality and conversations made the trip fly by. A day well spent.

You will never regret it! - I am a person that never leaves reviews! I cannot express in words enough how amazing our experience was! My family and I were accommodated by being picked up from the airport, which was so nice! We got to see everything and do so much! I feel like we got the full experience! It was flexible and so much more than we could have imagined in all we got to see in a day! We met the most kindest person ever who we had the privilege to spend the whole day with as our tour leader! Even though it was amazing the sites and the history it was even better having Costas be our guide for the day. He brought to life our tour even more being a local and knowing and sharing all his insight into Nafplio and Corinth, and Mycenae! He was a Godsend and I can now leave Greece knowing I have met someone who showed us so much and who felt like family from the other side of the world. If you can do a tour with Costas, I would 100% recommend it! It will be the best decision and you will truly feel like you have lived the full Greek experience as he makes your tour feel customized and gets you to see so much! We felt like we were driving around with family, not just someone we met for the day. There is very few people that are authentic and real. He is all of those things with a heart for the people, leaving you with a warm and lasting feeling as we return home!

MYCENAE AND NAFLIO - NOT TO BE MISSED! - Had a lovely time on this tour. My driver and guide, Vasilis was very kind and informative. Mycenae was spectacular and the archaeological site really wonderful. The next stop, Naflio was so beautiful! I actually walked down all 999 steps of Palamidi which was a great experience. Then I had plenty of free time to roam in the old town of Naflio. It was fabulous! The town was lively and it was a beautiful day. You can see the Venetian influence in the architecture. Old town is filled with shops and restaurants I had a delicious lunch and enjoyed people watching. One should be prepared in advance and read the itinerary as you are left alone quite a bit so it's not a full guided tour but it's lovely. I highly recommend it!
