Venture south of Athens to discover highlights of the Peloponnese. Cross the Corinth Canal to leave mainland Greece and explore Mycenae, one of the ancient world’s most noteworthy cultures, home to mythical King Agamemnon, in a country steeped in history. The region that was destined to give birth to one of antiquity’s most important civilizations, the Mycenaean. The “cyclopean walls” of the citadel of Mycenae, impressively intact to this day, highlight the heyday of a civilization brought to light by Heinrich Schliemann. A civilization that served as inspiration to the great ancient tragedians that subsequently helped shape western thought. The Lion Gate, a remarkable example of Mycenaean sculpture; grave circle A with its shaft tombs and golden funerary finds; the palace atop the citadel with its throne room; the underground water cistern with its ornate stairs and the beehive tombs (“tholos”) all give proof of the grandeur of an era that has left indelible marks throughout the ages.

Excellent tour. Our guide was exceptional with deep knowledge of everything associated with Mycenae and any topic of Ancient Greece, and a great pleasure to converse with. Many great memories.

Good communication from the time we booked, good vehicle and a great driver/guide George who made the trip worthwhile. We didn’t know that although it was a clear day in Athens, it would rain in Mycenae. Given this was a private tour, they could have informed us, we could have at least taken umbrellas, if not opted for a different day. The van didn’t have seats facing each other like in the website photos, which wasn’t a big problem for us but it’s misleading. Also when stopping at the canal, the convenience store that was recommended was a big tourist trap - highly overpriced and bad quality food.

Our trip today with Spiros was excellent. He knew so much about everything we were driving past, pointing out many sites along the road. He was definitely the most informed tour guide we have had during our visit. Mycenae itself was interesting, from the Lion’s Gate to the ruins of the Palace to the spectacular vistas that were visible in all directions. The museum on the site had a nice collection of pottery, jewelry, and coins and was well worth the visit. The treasury of Atreus nearby was an amazing structure and an incredible feat of construction for ancient times. I recommend this tour.

Was very unimpressed with the start of trip for cost. Our driver was ok however he started. By saying he was only a driver and wasn't a guide and his English wasnt good.so not happy. Also very little time in Corinth trip got better Mycenae so that why a 3 star.

Outstanding tour. Our tour envoy/driver Ruslan was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Although it was only a half day tour, it was definitely the best of our trip. Would recommend to anyone, and would definitely book Ruslan again.

Mycenae archeological site was impressive. Our tour guide/driver, Thanos, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He took us to a small village for lunch at a local restaurant which we really enjoyed.

Our driver, Takis, was fantastic. We felt safe and secure with Takis. He was on time, drive safely and gave us lots of information. Our tour guide was great and gave us clear and concise information regarding the Mycenaean civilization.

We booked on TripAdvisor and communicated ahead of time about where we would meet our driver. Everything went very smoothly with the pickup and Dimitri was very friendly. He shared interesting information about his life, how he grew up, Greek history, mythology and more. He has a very nice Mercedes taxi, and it was a very smooth comfortable ride. We stopped at the Corinth Canal and then had about an hour and 15 minutes at the Mycenae site. He recommended a popular souvlaki place when we returned to Athens and overall it was a great half day trip!
