We had a great day out from our hotel in Ancient Corinth visiting Mycenae, Napflio, Epidaurus and Corinth canal. The views of the countryside were also magnificent especially on the way back. The organiser was very responsive and helpful and everything went to plan. Our driver was very pleasant and with excellent English. It was good not to have to worry about driving and parking.
Thank you very much for your review and we are glad that you had a great time!
We had a wonderful day all around. The sites were educational and our guide very informative and accommodating. We did go to a small family owned vineyard for a tasting which we requested.
We are glad that you had a great time! We hope to see you again in the future!
Planning this private tour of 17pax went very smoothly as they were very responsive to my e-mails leading up to the day. As it was just for our group, they were flexible enough to make changes on our itinerary even during the day itself since we had very limited time and had companions that had trouble walking long distances. The tour itself was great, going to sights that were all new and interesting to all of us; and the tour guide was very knowledgable delving into details I don't think we would have ever appreciated if not for her.
We are really happy that you had a good time! It was a pleasure meeting you and we hope to see you again in the future!
The agency of Loutraki (Maria) that we had requested via internet before our stay in Isthmia was very responsive and responded to our emails and finally our expectations by offering us the ARGOLIDE tour in private minibus (we were 12), with driver and escort. Everything was therefore tied up by the internet in a real relationship of mutual trust. In addition, we were able to adjust with the dynamic Marios accompanist (who made himself understood very well in English) the durations of the different stops (Epidaurus, Nafplio (very charming little town) and finally Mycenae). Marios' recommendation of a typical restaurant in Nafplio (what's more, excellent and at an interesting price) was very much appreciated by our small group of friends. Excellent value for money for an excellent day.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We hope to see you again in the future!!
Driver on time. Very nice person. Comfortable car. We saw a lot of interessant things during the trip. We told Marios that we would come back in the area and that we would again choose lmtours in Loutraki (Enjoy Tours Greece) next time.
We are so happy that you enjoyed the tour! We will be happy to see you again!! Thank you.
I was travelling with my mother and my 2 sons, aged 8 and 13. It was a last minute decision, so I didn't have enough time to prepare, to get to know more about the agency, and places that we would be visiting. Dimitrios, who works at the agency, he was patient enough to answer my questions, and there were many. It was easy to make the booking and arrange all the details: payment, meeting point etc. We were a bit early, but our driver Vangelis was already there. He was polite, konwledegable, pleasant, and made us feel safe. We had enough time at each place and enjoyed our tour.
We are so happy that you had a great time with us. We hope to see you again soon!
