Well organized excursion - Superb day, convenient and well organized excursion, to leave for a day and visit other places outside Athens without renting a vehicle. I recommend!

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.

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.

Really enjoyable tour with a good guide - We really enjoyed this tour. Pickup arrangements went smoothly, the tour guide (Xenia) was friendly and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed visiting Mycenae and also the time in Nafplion, which is a beautiful town. We had a drink in a lovely bar on the seafront to relax after exploring Mycenae. The lunch was good and they accommodated vegetarian food as it was a set menu. Only constructive feedback would be that the tour guide talked for just a little bit too long which impacted on time to explore Mycenae by ourselves. They could adapt by giving a shorter explanation and then giving people the option to stay for more information or head off on their own. The museum was also very busy with tour groups making it hard to see the exhibits. A tip - if you’re vegetarian or have other dietary needs, message the operator in advance as the lunch is a set menu otherwise and all meat.

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.

An endurance test - Very nice ride, but probably because of the Easter Monday, very stressful, with very tight visiting times and endless travel. It is inhumane to take a lunch break at 3pm, just as it is inhumane to listen to a guide (and for her, talk) for 12 hours almost non-stop.
