This was my second trip to Epidauros and Mycenae and first to Nafplio. Three of us went, with lunch in Nafplio included for an extra fee.
Mycenae and Epidaurus remain spectacular locations and well worth a visit (especially the former). Some good historical commentary on the coach beforehand helped to set the scene and explain their significance. The content was well-judged. My biggest negative for the site visits, however, was the lack of time at Mycenae - there wasn't enough time to see the Treasury, hill site and museum, so we missed out on the last one. Even just 15 minutes would've sufficed. I think this was a poor miscalculation by the tour company, especially as time could've been shaven off the less diverse Epidaurus visit later on and as Mycenae has a pretty small museum.
Nafplio was a very pretty town, and I'd certainly spend more time there. However, many of those who paid for lunch to be included were dissatisfied with the menu, given the cost of the lunch option. Starter was a combo of Greek salad, courgette fritters and bread (no oil or butter). The main course - either underfed sardines in oil and lemon, a plate of giant beans or decent enough meatballs and white rice. A school dinner-sized portion of pretty decent orange cake was the only option for dessert. Drink was a bottle of water between two or three. Lunch was basic in quality, choice and presentation - all pretty much of school dinner quality, not restaurant standard. The restaurant menu showed it certainly had more substantial dishes it could've offered, but many diners in our party felt the tour company was really taking the mickey with what they charged for such a poor lunch option.
Overall, great places to visit and a good, helpful tour guide, but the tour company really should improve the lunch standard, given what is charged in particular.

The tour was really nice. We've got aa lot of fun. It was really interesting. The only downside was the driver who was too aggresive on the road and it made it uncomfortable.

Excellent Excursion
Our guide, Elleana, did a wonderful job giving us detailed and interesting information about each of our stops as well as describing what we were seeing along the way on our bus trip.
The sites we saw were amazing and we enjoyed learning more about ancient history.
It was a long day, but well worth it!

Not really guided. Well informed..
The organisation of the tour is perfect ( all the practical stuff) and beautiful Helena was good. But I hoped for a guided tour at sites. We have got a lot of information while driving and was on our own at the sites. That is why I couldn’t appreciate Mycenae. It just doesn’t work that way. So the guided tour is not guided, but organized.
