Classical Greece 3-Day Tour: Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia and Delphi from Athens

Wonderful tour with a super-knowledgeable guide, comfortable transport and amazing sites. Hotels and food were absolutely fine. One word of warning (which is why I knocked off a star): on the final day, we were dropped off in the centre of Athens (with our luggage) by the tour operator (Keytours), not at our drop-off hotel. We later complained to Viator, who eventually apologised and offered a compensatory payment, which was appreciated.

While our tour guide and bus driver were both excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and friendly—the rest of the experience with this tour company was deeply disappointing. The hotels were advertised as 4-star accommodations, but in reality, they were barely 2 stars. The first hotel served a buffet that was clearly not fresh: the food was cold, dried out, and unappetizing. We booked for three adults but were crammed into a single room with minimal space, yet still charged full price for each person. This felt deceptive and unfair. Communication with the company was equally frustrating, responses were delayed, unhelpful, and at times, borderline condescending. Worst of all, the travel plans were changed without our knowledge. We were combined with a separate 1-day tour group and forced to wait around while their itinerary was completed, turning our return to Athens into a disjointed, drawn-out ordeal. My strong recommendation: stay away from this company. The lack of transparency, poor accommodations, and unprofessional communication made for a very disappointing trip.

Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. Very good hotels and nice but little expensive place to stop for lunch. Wonderful trip

Imteresting sites, museums and commentary along the way. Tours were organised at times when sites were less crowded which was a bonus.

FANTASTIC! We rarely do tours but wanted to experience the Greek culture - Dozia Dermatidou exceeded our expectations! If I could give this tour a 10 it still would not really express how impressive her knowledge and passion is!! Everything was extraordinary, all details were carefully done, our comfort was important to her and the driver (Jon - bus driver extraordinaire!!!), the places we visited and stayed at were exceptional…We HIGHLY recommend this tour hands down! And to add to how exceptional this tour company is, our transfer to another bus in Delphi with Irene Koumpoura and driver Vaggelis was as superior as well! We felt very taken care of and had a wonderful time! A MUST do in Greece!!

Our trip with Sophia was very good. She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Would have been helpful to have maps of the larger areas we visited to navigate quickly, though. The tourist class hotels were just ok. Wouldn’t attempt this itinerary on our own. Overall, glad we chose this tour. Our group was husband, wife and 23 year-old daughter. To see everything, you should be in good physical condition. But if not, you can see most areas. May was excellent time of year temperature-wise, but ran into a lot of local school groups.

Anna our guide was very knowledgeable and a great teacher! The journey took us through beautiful countryside, villages and attractions. The classical sites are well worth the guided tour to get full benefit. Start with the meuseum of archeology to get the background. Food at taverns and hotels were great. Glad i did the tour.

I would highly recommend this tour. The organisation was excellent and our guide Marainna Tsigaridou made this tour extra special with her wonderful commentary, knowledge of ancient Greek history and culture and language. We learned so much, it was so interesting. The choice of famous sites to visit was excellent such as Delphi Myceane and Olympia. It was unforgettable and with some great scenery for photo shoots. I was really impressed with Marianna's English and French language skills and what was fascinating was how she explained the influence of Greek language and philosophy on our modern European languages. It was great, like watching the best historucal documentary film on Greece. I'm so glad we went, there is no way we would have ever had such a great experience trying to do this alone without a guide, she brings to life what may just look like a pile of old stones, shows pictures of how it was before, how people lived, myths, legends and real personal stories. Absolutely wonderful!

I really enjoyed this tour of Classical Greece. I learn so much about Ancient Greek history from our amazing guide Marianna Tsigaridou. She was so full of knowledge and made the tour so interesting. Thank you to Marianna!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Go to the Acropolis museum. Say you're staying in Athens for 3 days, with your family. 2 adults and 2 students. They will give you the right information to see the 7 most important monuments. And how to make a reservation.
