Great tour - Great tour, Mr George our driver was excellent, punctual, knowledgeable,providing a running commentary on everything we passed as we drove around.The sights were amazing particularly Mycenea which was something we had wanted to see for years, could not fault this tour in any way, and would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Athens and wanting to see the sights outside the city.

Opens the Doors to Greece - Overall, one of the best tours I’ve been on. If you are planning on visiting Greece this is a MUST-SEE! Giorgos was extremely knowledgeable about the history, mythology, and significance of every spot on the tour. He helps contextualize every stop in history so you know exactly why each important. The tour started right on time at my hotel, and the vehicle was fancy and very clean. The tour takes you through all the major epochs of Greek history, from the Bronze Age to the Greek Revolution. I cannot recommend it enough, especially if this is your first time in Greece.

Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus and Corinth Canal Tour - If you are into a little bit of history and want to see some really old relics, this tour has it all. The Corinth canal is kind of an interesting engineering feat given the topography. Mycenae and Epidauros are both historical and awe inspiring. Make sure you visit the Museums at both these places before you actually visit the sites. We did not have a tour guide but the visit to the Museums helped us understand the sites. Nafplio is a lovely town and we were a bit sad that we just got two hours to go around this beautiful town. If you have a chance, please send a night at least in this town. You will not regret it. George our defacto tour guide/driver was a lovely and well informed man who gave us so many nuggets that he seemed like a tour guide rather than the chauffeur we had hired for the day. Efcharisto George!

Successful Day Trip with George - Fabulous trip to the Peloponnese with George! Our family included seniors with mobility challenges so a private tour made the most sense for our group. They were able to do what they could and had the van to return to while others could explore further. George provided great information and was on time. He structured the day to avoid crowds and always dropped us off in a convenient spot with clear instructions on when to return. He had a great lunch recommendation with a stunning view. We saw everything we wanted to and more.

An Amazing and Unforgettable Experience - What a great experience with an even better driver. Nathan was amazing and a wealth of knowledge for someone so young and made this tour all the more enjoyable. He provided us with many insights and helpful tips and his restaurant recommendation in Nafplio was top notch. Highly recommend this tour and company.

Very good! - Our day trip to Epidaurus, Nafplio, and Mycenae was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, George. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, bringing each historical site to life with engaging stories and fascinating anecdotes. George took the time to answer all of our questions, no matter how detailed, and made sure we fully understood the significance of every place we visited. From the breathtaking acoustics of the Epidaurus theater to the stunning views in Nafplio, and the ancient ruins of Mycenae, George's enthusiasm made the experience even more special. Highly recommended!
