A Walk Through History - What day! Started early out of Athens in a really nice small bus. We drove to the Corinthian Canal and were given time to walk around, take pictures and a health break. Nice cafe with lots of options. Then onto Nafplion and Mycenaean. Anthony (tour guide) gave lots of historical information and descriptions of everything. Nicos (the driver), was awesome. Careful and professional. No worries about our safety and comfort. The drive was pleasant and we liked seeing all the olive, lemon and orange orchards. Nafplion is a really nice town. Lots to see at all the steps. Various levels of exercise so good for the old and young.

Nice tour into the... - Nice tour into the campagne of Greece. Our guide was very good in precising historical facts. Even in the free time, she was open to share some interesting local facts for those who were looking for something besides the touristic places.

A good day out from Athens - We enjoyed the trip and were charmed to see the beauty of the Peleponese. We had only 4 minutes (240 seconds!) to visit the museum at Mycenae, only enough to wish we had longer. The pottery shop visit was lost time which we would have preferred to spend at Mycenae itself.

Private small tour. Beautiful ruins and area. Excellent coach and guide. A bit expensive compared to the other tours. - Our tour guide, Helena, was personable and knowledgeable. The ruins of Mycenae were impressive. The restaurant was not picturesque or particularly friendly . They treated us as a group of bothersome tourists. The lamb was good but nothing special.

Too short time - I enjoyed the tour. Additional time was needed at Mycene. 20 minutes does give enough time for pictures and the museum. I could only take pictures.
