We thought we paid for a guided tour, not for someone to drive us around all day and then we go unescorted into each of these magnificent sites. We really missed a lot. We’ll read closer next time!
Kostas was excellent. He provided us with some great information and insight during our travels. The sites were amazing! Kostas was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time!
We chose this shore excursion over the one offered by the cruise line. It was cheaper, provided private transportation, allowed us to see the sights at our pace, and allowed us to arrive at each attraction ahead of the buses. Our tour guide was professional and attentive.
An excellent driver. Very professional. Gave us the correct amount of time at each venue. Clean car.
the company adjusted the tour to meet our ships schedule. Our driver met us promptly and went over the schedule and what we would be able to see in the time allowed. He provided water and a video to watch about the sites while we traveled to them. We were able to visit Mycenae, Corinth, the canals, and epidaurus. As a bonus he took us to the top of the city for gorgeous views of the old town and Palamidi . He also acted as a photographer to ensure that we had our picture taken at every stop. Even with all the stops we still had some time to shop in old town before boarding the ship. Note though that this is just transportation they do not tour the sites with you.
Nice, clean VW and we were transported to advertised venues (Mycenae, Ancient Corith, Corith Canal and Epidavros). However, that's about all I can comment. Driver made five remarks (there is the jail, there is an orange grove, there is a fortress, there is an ancient port and there is new Epidavros) over the entire trip of 7 & 1/2 hours. The trip was advertised as an English speaking driver but without a guide. On other tours we have taken, the normal procedure was for the driver to provide some background and insight into the places to be visited. When you arrived in the sites, one would either hire a local, site guide or conduct a self-guided tour. Not the case on this tour. What was really disappointing was that reviews I read about this tour raved about the driver and how informative he was with providing information and antidotes. Sure wasn't the driver we were provided. If I had to rate this experience, it would be in the negative numbers. It was a rip-off. Unique Greek Tours is the right name for this company. You use them once and NEVER again.
Thank you for booking a tour with us This is obviously a misunderstanding Your reservation did not included a professional guide and this is very clear at the description Please check the inclusions and the tour link : Includes Return transportation from Nafplion to ancient sites Pick up from your hotel or our meeting point Meet a professional licensed guide at the archaeological sites upon request with an extra cost Liability Taxes **Professional licensed guide provided upon request with an extra cost** **Full refund or change of date in case of adverse weather conditions** https://www.uniquegreektours.com/en/private_tours/nafplio-to-mycenae-anc-corinth-epidavros/ The driver IS NOT a guide. All our drivers are very polite and informative when needed. In any case, a misunderstanding of the description of what you have booked, cannot characterize us as a rip-off or a tour providor never to be used again Remaining at your disposal for any furhter clarifications Unique Greek Tour Team
Really enjoyable trip to Mycenae, Ancient Corinth, the Corinth Canal and finally Epidavros. Even managed to watch some of the phenomenal runners doing the Spartathlon at our stop at the Corinth Canal. Our guide/driver Nikos was excellent, provided local context whenever needed and was totally attentive to our needs. A fabulous day 😀
We were able to adjust the pickup time to fit our cruise time, and had a wonderful tour with Antonios! We adjusted to fit our desires, and were thrilled to see the beautiful area in total comfort. We highly recommend!
We took a Viator Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth and Nafplion and it was a long day but full of beautiful scenery, ancient architecture and artifacts. The traffic in Athens caused us delays which made our trip overextended by almost 2 hours. The Corinth Canal is 15 min and is amazing to see. Ancient Corinth had interesting detail including area of St Paul’s preaching. Nafplion was an absolutely beautiful little town with 3 castles, many restaurants and shopping.
A very well laid out tour for visiting several Myacean sites that should be seen as part of a discovery of Ancient Greek history. We were met at the dock and shown to a clean, comfortable van. While I know that a guide was NOT included in the package, it would have been nice if the driver could have offered a little more background on where we were and what we were going to see, rather than just a driver.
