Private driver for Epidavros and Mycenae - Very nice driver took us to important historical sites in the area which would have been much harder to find on our own. Having a private car was really nice, we could go at our own pace.

Great tour! - Our driver was on time and very friendly and helpful. We had extra time after visiting the 2 sites so our driver offered to take us to another stop in Nafplion Since this was a private tour we were able to get to the sites early and avoid the crowds. We were also able to visit at our own pace (much faster than a tour group). We had our own guidebook that gave us ample information on the important artifacts and we didn’t have to listen to filler information provided by a guide.

Rich History! - Very kind & knowledgeable tour guide!! We had to go the private route because we were so far out from the meeting point. A little expensive, but we were able to go at our own pace at each stop which was nice. This company is very nice & will work with you on transportation!

Ancient and fascinating - It's fascinating to visit such ancient sites. Places like this need to be preserved. To see them stirs your imagination about what life was like thousands of years ago.

One of my favorite places to visit! A must if you’re visiting the Peloponnese! - Nafplio was amazing! The views were spectacular, the beaches were stunning with crystal clear waters, and great service with food and drink. The restaurants were excellent and really good value. Highly recommend going to Valaora restaurant( upscale restaurant, great dining experience) on the water facing Bourtzi. Be ready to walk a lot in the old town of Nafplio. Beautiful cobblestone streets, charming boutiques and souvenir shops. A very romantic and yet fun place to visit. Definitely walk up the fort of Palamidi; the views are breathtaking. If you have time, visit Mycenae and the museum for a bit of history and culture. Go early in the day cause it tends to get hot in the day time— Short driving distance from Nafplio. Highly recommend visiting Nafplio if you have two days to spare or even longer. My husband and I loved it!!

Very nice way to be transported to the archeology sites - Transported in a beautiful Mercedes van. Driver was very nice. Tour is self guided. Driver gives only minimal information but answers any questions freely.

Not “GUIDED” tour as mentioned in description. - This was not “ guided tour has mentioned in description. Driver was very nice and professional BUT strictly only a driver . Description needs to be changed to “NOT” guided.

Very disappointing - While our driver was very courteous, our tour was a complete disappointment. Our guide gave us absolutely no information whatsoever so we were completely on our own at every location. Had we known, we would’ve bought a guidebook. But every other Viator tour guide has been a wealth of information., so we did not think this was necessary. This time he was basically a glorified taxi driver.

Viator Misrepresentation - Unfortunately there was a major communication issue with Viator as to the content of this tour. We were picked up at our hotel by a private car and driver. He drove us to the two locations and left us to explore by ourselves. This cost nearly $200. We could have done this by ourselves since we had a rental car. Very very disappointing. I do not ever plan to use Viator again because of this misrepresentation.
