Mainland excursion to Argolida: Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus

If you need a wonderful combination of professionalism and personality, VIP Athens Taxi is the way to go. Greece was a much-needed vacation for me. Stephen was very detailed and attentive during the drive from the airport, during the Argolida excursion, and then back to the airport. I felt safe and taken care of, making the week wonderful, and stress-free. He was just what the doctor ordered.

This is a great 10 hour tour. Steven is friendly and knows the best routes to travel. He is not a tour guide, who must be booked in addition separately. Each site has its own charms and the private car allows you to move in comfort and quickly (see more sites, for a longer period of time, in the same 10 hour period). I highly recommend this tour. It beats the big bus tour - hands down. Unlike many taxis in Athens, Steven is honest, friendly, reliable and we would call him again.

This was our 2nd day in Greece and choose the Argolida tour. Steven was our driver. He was on time picking us up and even brought us some yummy Greek pastries and refreshments. He was very informative. Our family enjoyed his company and a pleasure to get to know. He never rushed us during each site visit. First stop the Corinth Canal built in 1893.... 4 miles long deep and narrow just a monument to human fortitude. Next the ancient City of Corinth, it’s been inhabited for over 3000 years with an Acropolis on a mountain above and the remnants of the ancient city below its fantastic. A wonderful museum leads to the remnants of the city and Roman Forum built over the remains of the Ancient Greek site. Our next stop was the ancient walled city of Mycenae.... you know TROY, King Agamemnon all that stuff. The Lion’s gate marked the entrance to the city which was once one of the most powerful kingdoms on Ancient Greece standing guard since the 15th century BC.... To be thrown back in time to the world of Agamemnon, Achilles, Hector and Helen shivered the soul. It’s an awe inspiring site and pictures cannot do justice to this hallowed site. Our next stop was a short drive to an 18th century Venetian Mountain top fortress over looking Greece’s first Capital of Nafplio and another tremendous meal with the freshest seafood and ingredients. We decided to skip Epidaraus and head back to hotel. Thank you Steven for a great excursion, will be sure to contact you again when we return to Greece.
