A way to see all the sites and avoid crowds. - the company adjusted the tour to meet our ships schedule. Our driver met us promptly and went over the schedule and what we would be able to see in the time allowed. He provided water and a video to watch about the sites while we traveled to them. We were able to visit Mycenae, Corinth, the canals, and epidaurus. As a bonus he took us to the top of the city for gorgeous views of the old town and Palamidi . He also acted as a photographer to ensure that we had our picture taken at every stop. Even with all the stops we still had some time to shop in old town before boarding the ship. Note though that this is just transportation they do not tour the sites with you.

Great day trip around the classical sites in the Peloponnese Region - Really enjoyable trip to Mycenae, Ancient Corinth, the Corinth Canal and finally Epidavros. Even managed to watch some of the phenomenal runners doing the Spartathlon at our stop at the Corinth Canal. Our guide/driver Nikos was excellent, provided local context whenever needed and was totally attentive to our needs. A fabulous day 😀

Our favorite day in Greece! - We had a wonderful day! Maria picked us up directly from our hotel in a comfortable and air conditioned SUV. We commenced our private tour around to the ancient sites of Mycenae, Corinth, and Epidaurus. We also stopped to see the beautiful Corinth Canal, then for lunch at a fantastic restaurant Maria recommended overlooking the sea. On the way home, she fit in an extra stop atop the lovely Acronafplia ruins before dropping us back at our hotel. Throughout the day she provided wonderful local stories and knowledge about the sites, gave us more than enough time to enjoy each stop, and always met us with fresh water bottles and full air conditioning when we returned from the hot sun. Best day ever — thank you, Maria and Unique Greek Tours!

Our favorite day in Greece! - We had a fantastic time!! Private SUV with driver Maria who was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of time to explore each site, and fresh water bottles each time we returned to the car dripping with sweat. 😉 The day was paced wonderfully! We got to Mycenae before the tour groups so had all the space to explore. Plenty of time at Ancient Corinth with an extra stop to gaze down into the beautiful blue waters of the Corinth Canal. We stopped for lunch on the way to Epidaurus at a fantastic place Maria recommended, with gorgeous views over the sea. Again plenty of time to enjoy ancient Epidaurus and get a frozen drink to cool us off before returning to the car. On the final stretch, Maria fit in an extra stop at the lovely Acronafplia ruins before dropping us back at our hotel. This day was everything we wanted and more. Thank you, Maria and Unique Greek Tours!

Day out of Athens - We took a Viator Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth and Nafplion and it was a long day but full of beautiful scenery, ancient architecture and artifacts. The traffic in Athens caused us delays which made our trip overextended by almost 2 hours. The Corinth Canal is 15 min and is amazing to see. Ancient Corinth had interesting detail including area of St Paul’s preaching. Nafplion was an absolutely beautiful little town with 3 castles, many restaurants and shopping.

Intersting sites to see - A very well laid out tour for visiting several Myacean sites that should be seen as part of a discovery of Ancient Greek history. We were met at the dock and shown to a clean, comfortable van. While I know that a guide was NOT included in the package, it would have been nice if the driver could have offered a little more background on where we were and what we were going to see, rather than just a driver.

Nice transport across the NE Peloponnese - Really love transport around the Peloponnese. Christos was a very nice driver and made sure I was well supplied with water. You are given ample time to explore the sites on your own. Highly recommend.

Disappointed - Nice, clean VW and we were transported to advertised venues (Mycenae, Ancient Corith, Corith Canal and Epidavros). However, that's about all I can comment. Driver made five remarks (there is the jail, there is an orange grove, there is a fortress, there is an ancient port and there is new Epidavros) over the entire trip of 7 & 1/2 hours. The trip was advertised as an English speaking driver but without a guide. On other tours we have taken, the normal procedure was for the driver to provide some background and insight into the places to be visited. When you arrived in the sites, one would either hire a local, site guide or conduct a self-guided tour. Not the case on this tour. What was really disappointing was that reviews I read about this tour raved about the driver and how informative he was with providing information and antidotes. Sure wasn't the driver we were provided. If I had to rate this experience, it would be in the negative numbers. It was a rip-off. Unique Greek Tours is the right name for this company. You use them once and NEVER again.
