Description
Enjoy a scenic drive through the Greek countryside, passing by picturesque landscapes and olive groves. First, stop at the magnificent Corinth Canal that unites the Aegean Sea with the Corinth Gulf.

You begin your exploration with the extraordinary Cyclopean walls. Walk through the Lion Gate and discover the famous tholos tomb known as the ‘Treasure of Atreus,’ believed to be the burial place of King Agamemnon. Enter the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae to view a collection of artifacts and treasures excavated from the site. Continue for lunch and complete your journey at Nafplion, a picturesque coastal town known for its historical significance and charming atmosphere. Stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town of Nafplion, discovering its Venetian and Ottoman influences.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience with Bernie! We got a lot of historical context to the ruins while also being told in a story-esque way. It was a great day trip & we loved ending the trip in Nafplio! Would definitely recommend, especially to escape the bustling city of Athens to a more relaxed, less crowded space!
Operator response
Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re pleased that Bernie’s informative and engaging approach enhanced your experience and that you enjoyed discovering both the historical sites and the relaxed atmosphere of Nafplio. We appreciate your recommendation and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon.

Stay away from this tour
The tour guide did not speak good English and it was very hard to understand also the last city where it stopped for lunch they didn’t give us enough time there. Also this tour when advertised it leads you to believe that the Corinth Canal will be crossed on a boat and that is not the case. Very misleading
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. Our tours are conducted in English by licensed guides who host international groups daily, though we understand individual comprehension may vary. The itinerary, including the scheduled lunch break and the short stop at the Corinth Canal for photos and refreshments, is clearly outlined in the tour description prior to booking, and we always encourage guests to review these details carefully before confirming their reservation.
The tour is delivered strictly in line with the published itinerary to ensure consistency for all participants.

Corinth, Mycenea and Nafplion Private Tour
This was an outstanding day, and Mr. Georgio was exceptional! He was full of so much information and answered our hundreds of questions. He went out of his way to show us everything possible and see all the beauty that this area of Greece has to offer. The lunch provided was outstanding! Take this tour with Mr. Georgio if you get the chance - it is an adventure you will never forget!

Corinth and Nafplion
As with most tours it is all about the guide. Sophia was excellent. Informative and knowledgeable. Only downside is would say maybe a little too much free time in Nafplion.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re so pleased to hear that Sophia’s knowledge and engaging approach made the experience enjoyable. We understand that preferences for free time can vary. Some guests enjoy a relaxed pace to explore Nafplio’s charming streets, while others prefer a shorter stop. Your input is valuable as we strive to balance guided activities and independent exploration for everyone’s enjoyment.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
