Apostolis was the most fun and gracious guide! I also like how the vehicles are different based on the number of passengers - we were lucky to be in a van which allowed for more flexibility.
Fantastic tour! Costas was incredibly knowledgeable in ancient and history right through to the 1800's, as well as knowing all the greek myth deep-cuts, sooo impressive and really interesting! The museum and ancient ruins site in Corinth was also super interesting and the lunch we had in Nafplion was the best seafood we've ever had, and so reasonably priced. Heaps of time to meander around before and after, and the swim at Nafplion was just stunning - 10/10, loved it! :3
Great balance of travel, exploration lead by the guide, and free time. Nafplio is incredibly beautiful and the ancient city of Corinth provides a great historical backdrop for the region. This is a good way to get a taste of the Peloponnese if you're staying in Athens and don't have a way around. Would recommend.
Overall it's a very good day out. If you are worried about the meeting point, the subway is very easy to use and cheap. Our guide, Costas, was very well informed, enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. Money well spent
Demi was very knowledgeable about the history of Corinth and gave us wonderful options for free time and different archeological sites. The sea was amazing as well! Demi is an archeologist and tour guide which made her a dynamite guide.
Vasillis, Dmitri, and Konstantinos were amazing! Very knowledgeable about Greek history and archeology. My friend and I were the only ones on the tour this day and we loved it! It felt like we were just hanging out with some friends in Nafplio and Corinth. The ruins of Corinth were amazing and the medieval city of Nafplio was gorgeous. It felt like a different world and we loved our trip, we will definitely go back!

This was a lovely to get away from athens for the day! We saw something for everyone, an archeological site, an old castle/prison, and we went to the beach. This was a great day and way to see the Peloponnese Peninsula. Our tour guide Julia was amazing and the tour was a small group and very manageable
