Great guide, good value, lots to see - I got lucky on a sunny winter day with this trip. Only six people in a van, we got all the info about history from our guide Orfeas. He was simply amazing. With his degree in history and being well informed about current events he gave us an overall briefing of not just the history of Greece from antiquity till today. He also explained everyday life, customs, politics, food, and anything we could think of and ask in the 10 hours we spent with him. His knowledge of the sites made it easy and practical to visit them. He also has good local recommendations for food and programs. I would highly recommend this company and this trip. My advice is packing lunch ahead so you can eat while traveling and use the time at the sites for actually seeing them. It is a great day trip out of Athens, seeing 4 attractions and the countryside around.

This was a lovely day... - This was a lovely day trip from Athens to Mykines, Nafplio, and then Epidaurus. There were six of us, so we took a minivan, which wasn't bad, since we made frequent stops as the trip was broken up. So you weren't really in the van for more than an hour. Dimi and Christos were knowledgeable and helpful guides. Dimi was an amazing driver, offering a lot of historical information and answered any questions we had along the way and before or after the site visits. Mykines is a beautiful site. The audio guide was ok - there were enough signs inside the site that I didn't need the guide as much. Plus you can wander the trails as you want, which is nice to do at a site like this. The small museum has some very interesting finds! Nafplio was tourist trap-py, but very laidback and had good food options. I enjoyed just wandering the side streets, but others had walked to the fortress. There were lots of artisanal shops instead of the usual souvenir shops (though there were some of those!) We ended at Epidaurus, wandering through the theatre and the Temple of Asklepios sites, with lots of trees and fresh air. The museum is free with entry, which is good, because it had limited items. The Temple of Asklepios site is vast and I suggest going through that part first, so you can see everything in the time allotted. We arrived back in Athens by 6 pm. Everything was done efficiently, but there was plenty of time at each site, with some rest in Nafplio. I recommend this trip, and Dimi and Christos were A+ - it felt like getting a tour from friends!

3 for the road! - It was a beautiful day with not too many travelers and the sites are amazing to experience! A day very well spent! It may seem like the allotted times at the sites are short, but you truly have enough time to see it all AND browse the gift shop! Finally, our tour guide, Vassily (sp?), was terrific… personable and extremely knowledgeable. Super guy! Loved it!

Great tour - We were greatly directed by Dimitra and Elefteria as our driver and tour conductor. Both were knowledgeable as an archeologist and historian answering our questions and showing us special points during our tour... We were very pleased and highly recommend this tour.

Mycenae, Naphlio Tour - Awesome tour. Orfeus, our driver and guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable about Greek history. The tour was spaced out very well so it didn't seem like we were on the bus that long. Thanks for a wonderful day orfeus!

Good day beyond Athens - This was a good trip, particularly because of the convenience and ease of access to three sites outside of Athens without the pain of driving. We particularly liked Mycenae and Nafplio and surrounding countryside which is beautiful. Epidaurus is interesting but not a must see in our opinion.

Highly Recommended! - Highly recommended! A well-paced tour with a friendly and knowledgable guide/driver. Well-organised and (luckily) in a small group

Bad Experience - They didn’t get to the place where they met, where it says Contact the tour operator; it doesn’t allow sending a message, we tried to communicate by phone and they never answered. I don't recommend them.
