Amazing day trip in Peloponnese. - Our guide of this day trip is Vivienne, an archaeologist, very informative, attentive and cheerful. I learn a lot about Greek history and mythology from joining this trip with her. We started our trip with a short visit at Corinth canal, a very magnificent structure. Then to Mycenae archaeological site. It’s a very pleasant walk up the hill. You got a great view of mountains around and their museum is well-displayed. After that we had free time in Nafplion. I walked up to Acropolis and totally recommend it. You need to see the colour of the sea in Argolic gulf and how sunlight plays on its surface. It’s the sight I will always remember. The town itself is also very lovely. Your last stop is Epidaurus, a remarkable and well-preserved theatre. There are also museum and other interesting archaeological sites around the theatre for you to explore.

Enjoyable trip but a little rushed - This tour was good value for money but felt a little rushed around the archaeological sites (the main purpose of the trip in my view), especially given how long we spent in Nafplio and how early we got back to Athens.
I was a little apprehensive about the meeting point being so far from the city centre but the metro is easy to use, if a little slow.
The coach was a little cramped but otherwise comfortable and the driver and guide were pleasant.
My main reason for booking this trip was to visit Mycenae and it did not disappoint. I was surprised by how much I liked Epidaurus too. The site is so much more than the famed theatre.

Amazing tour! - We had an amazing time on the tour to Epidaurus and Mycenae! Everything was fantastic — we had so much fun, and the experience was incredible. Our guide was extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and the driver was very careful and made the journey feel safe and comfortable.
The amount of time spent at each site was well planned, but if I could suggest one small improvement, it would be to add about 30 more minutes at the Epidaurus Theater. It takes some time to walk up and down the theater, so we didn't get to explore the museum as calmly as we would have liked.
That said, this is just a minor point — overall, the tour was excellent and absolutely worth every cent. I highly recommend it!
