Amazing day trip in Peloponnese. - Our guide of this day trip is Vivienne, an archaeologist, very informative, attentive and cheerful. I learn a lot about Greek history and mythology from joining this trip with her. We started our trip with a short visit at Corinth canal, a very magnificent structure. Then to Mycenae archaeological site. It’s a very pleasant walk up the hill. You got a great view of mountains around and their museum is well-displayed. After that we had free time in Nafplion. I walked up to Acropolis and totally recommend it. You need to see the colour of the sea in Argolic gulf and how sunlight plays on its surface. It’s the sight I will always remember. The town itself is also very lovely. Your last stop is Epidaurus, a remarkable and well-preserved theatre. There are also museum and other interesting archaeological sites around the theatre for you to explore.

Archeologists really dig it! - Our guide, Kristi (Sp?) answered all our questions about archeology and history. I have wanted to explore this area of Greece for some time and finally did it! Was very lucky to have a real archeologist for my guide. History lovers will love it!

Being a graduate of archaeology and history, he was a wealth of information and was very personable! We thoroughly enjoyed our trips. Thank you Giorgi and Ammon Express!

Great excursion outside of Athens - Excellent tour. Vivian was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour leader. She offered a lot of information about the history of each area we visited. We appreciated seeing some of the countryside after spending all our time within Athens. There was also a good amount of free time to explore each area on our own. Nafplio was especially nice. I would recommend this trip.
