Very Interesting sites - Its was a good visit. We ended up purchasing an audio guide since the driver that picks you up does not go with you on the archeological site, and does not really share any information about it during the drive either. The ruins are amazing, but I wished we had a live guide with us, to better understand what we were looking at. The site are rather large and well worth the visit. Its hard to believe these structures date back some 1600 before Christ. Truly amazing history, tones or antiquities, great museum.

Great driver. Friendly... - Great driver. Friendly and informative. Explore each site on your own while you know that your driver is there waiting for you when you are done. Driver recommended a great lunch spot outside of Mikines.

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.

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.
