We wanted to visit ancient Nemea and some wineries in Nemea so were very please when we found this tour. It seemed quite expensive but actually turned out to be very good value for money. We were picked up from our apartment in a very plush car and were driven to ancient Nemea. Our driver Niko was very helpful and spoke excellent English. Ancient Nemea was very impressive and there is a very interesting small museum there. We visited 2 wineries and had a wine tasing at each, the price of which was included in the trip. Luckily the weather was beautiful. It was a very memorable day.
