This without a doubt was the best tour I’ve ever had, and I have traveled for years throughout the world. I recommend ancient Greece tours more highly. Then any other tour group I have worked with.
Yannis was our tour guide . he is the most compassionate and passionate man about his work and his country and to let you know the important things about what you are visiting
My friend was ill and he made it possible for her to stretch out in the van and enjoy most of the day. He made us so comfortable. We started the day out by stopping and picked up coffee and pastries for us to eat and drink along the way, it was the best treat ever to start the morning .
We went to the canal and looked over and watched bungee jumpers. Then we continued to Mycenae acropolis. Each place we went he gave us the briefing on what we were going to be seeing and what we were going to be doing.
He knows this country so well and he loves what he does. You cannot go wrong with this company and requesting YANNIS as your tour guide.
We really enjoyed seeing nafplio and having lunch there and walking along the marina. Just go with all of his suggestions, and you will have a very successful enjoyable day and so memorable!
Our pick up point was confusing and he called me and said he would come to exactly where we were and made it so easy. What a perfect day.
Thank you to Ancient Greek tours

It was a wonderful learning experience and the area was beautiful.
Our guide Yannis took extra time with us and made it one of our best experiences in Europe.
I would recommend this trip to anyone that wants to get away from the busy large cities in Europe.

Eirini was a great driver and guide throughout the day - she tailored our experience to our preferences (I opted to go to acrocorinth instead of Corinth canal which was incredible if a steep climb) and never rushed us. The car was very nice and she had water and a snack waiting. A very pleasant way to go see a busy Argolis itinerary without the stress of renting and driving yourselves.
Since it is not a guide who accompanies you to the sites, I suggest reading up on the sites or listening to a podcast during the drive but she had information to share as well.

Our lovely tour guide ειρηνη (Irini) drove us around all day, while sharing helpful information about the sites we visited. She even helped us with the itinerary to make the best use of our time. The car was stocked with snacks, water and juice. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a great day tour out of Athens, especially for a Monday where the town of Nafplio is especially quiet and nice to stroll around and the view from Palamidi is breathtaking！
Our driver and guide, George, is an excellent guide! He comprehensively answers all our questions, from history, culture, economics, geography, food, to even politics! And his excellent English makes it easy for up to interact. George is also very nice and patient with our kids.
All in all, a great value for money experience!

We had a great full day. Our guide Manos was very knowledgeable. The van was very comfortable. We really enjoyed all of the sights, the ruins at Mycenae and museum were very interesting, Epidaurus was really cool and we loved the town of Nafplio. Manos brought us to a great restaurant there and ice cream and a amazing little church. I highly recommend!

Communication before the trip was very good. I had a couple of questions regarding pick up location and times and we got an answer very fast.
On the day of the tour we were picked up from our hotel and we were on our way promptly. Our guide, Tas, welcomed us with traditional (delicious) sweets (I had mentioned we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary) and took us out of Athens. The ride was smooth in the city traffic and on the highway. The car is luxurious, comfortable and clean.
We made some changes to the scheduled trip so that we would see the sights before stopping for a relaxing late lunch in the beautiful city of Nafplio. This flexibility to be able to change plans on the spot was very welcome.
Before each visited site Tas would talk about the history behind the ruins and monuments in a very engaging and informative way. He also seemed prepared for everything, providing umbrelas when it menaced rain, and bottles of cold water when we returned from a long walk. In the charming city of Napflio we had a wonderful traditional meal in one of the places Tas recommended. Small details that make for a great experience.
We were never hurried, we choose our own pace. During the trip we either engaged on some nice conversation or just relaxed to the sound of music. Tas is a wonderful host.
In restrospect the only thing we missed is time. I wish we had more days to book a longer trip.
Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our tour that day. It was very informative, fun, and stress free. The scenery was great and the places visited were worth the visit. Our guide made the day very enjoyable. He picked us up from the cruise port and returned us later in the day at our hotel in Athens center. It was a special request and they accommodated it. We liked Nafplio and the canal the best. We stopped for lunch at a place he knew and it was very good. The day require some walking and climbing but we were just fine with it.

Tas treated us like family. Not only did he explain everything, shared his experiences, treated us with coffee and ice cream,but also took detours so we get a full experience. We had the most magical lunch overlooking unique scenery. The day was absolutely perfect! Thanks Tas!
