Complete tour and splendid guide Ebri
Good tour and excellent guide. On the coach, Ebri the guide was excellent; he kept giving us information on the coach so that the travel time was put to good use and was enjoyable. Leaving Athens, we passed by different relevant buildings; Ebri would alert us and we saw them on the go from the coach while he gave us all the info. Afterward, we made a stop at the Corinth Canal, another to visit Mycenae, another to eat in Nafplio, and finally we visited Epidaurus and the Sanctuary of Asclepius. Everything was great, except that the stops don't leave much free time to see things in depth; it's normal, it's many places in a single day, this part cannot be improved so everything is perfect!

Enjoyable tour with Irene
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour! Irene was very knowledgeable and took great care of our group. It was very hot, but she made sure we all stayed together, got to see everything, and we had a wonderful time. Corinth was very interesting, the canal was beautiful, and Nafplion was gorgeous! It is a charming place, full of wonderful food and beautiful architecture…one of my favorites! The group had approximately 13 people in it, which wasn’t bad, and we were able to keep up. Definitely bring water if you are traveling when it’s hotter. That is a must. A reusable bottle to help keep the water cool is best. The tour was wonderful, and we are glad we signed up. Thank you for making this tour a memorable one!

Excellent tour.
The tour was very organized. The day/time was well managed and nothing felt rushed. The driver (Panos - I think) was great, careful on the road, and paid attention to the needs of the group - water, AC. The guide (Lethia) was amazing. She communicated well and provided amazing recommendations for food. She responded to questions well and provided great information about the cities and sites visited. I joined the tour on June 24th

Day in greece
The trip could be amazing but the time at corinth was too short and also Nafplio. Less time at the temple of Apollo would have given a little more time at the others. The tour guide was very thorough and kind.

Nice day trip to a different part of Greece
Good way to see the Peloponnese if you don't want to self-drive. It's a gorgeous part of Greece, and very different from the area around Athens. The tour was well organized, and the guide was great. I enjoyed seeing the canal more than I expected. The ruins of Corinth are chiefly interesting if you want to see where St. Paul was, but the guide did a great job of explaining the site, and taking us through the associated museum. Nafplion is a pretty seaside town, it was a nice stop for lunch.

It was a good day.
It was an overall great trip. The tour guide (unfortunately, I do not remember her name) was excellent. She provided information but talked only when we were passing a landmark. She did provide a background prior to reaching Corinth and Nafplion. The tour was to start at 8, but was more around 8:20AM before leaving the tour company, Keytours. I would gladly take another day trip with this company.
