Mythical Argolis - Mycenae, Nafplio & Corinth Canal Private Day Trip

If you are considering a tour company for a visit to Greece, we highly recommend Athens Insider. They arranged five activities for us, and we enjoyed every one of them. They took excellent care of us, both in preparing for the trip and during the different excursions. The day trip from Athens was excellent. Our driver Yannis was outstanding — we had him as our driver for three days, and we enjoyed our time with him as much as the sites themselves. He was a careful driver, very considerate of us and everyone on the road around us. He helped us to get to know Greece and appreciate the warmth and hospitality of its people. While not a licensed guide, his insights at Napflion helped us know both the medieval site and the modern town. Throughout our time with him, Yannis added a number of little touches to our trip that made it feel very personal to us. We also strongly recommend visiting Greece in November. We were fortunate to enjoy a week with no rain, mild temperatures, and virtually no crowds. To be able to stand in the ampitheater at Epidauros, or the throne room at Mycenae, with the unspoilt scenery behind, with not a sound and barely another person to be seen, made the visit so much more rewarding.

We loved our private day trip to Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidauros. The Greek countryside is beautiful and a relaxing change from busy Athens. Our driver Vasilis was informative, enthusiastic and pleasant to be with. He answered our questions and was good at intuiting our interests and reasons for travel, so the day was tailored for us. The time spent at each site was negotiable and so was the location for lunch. The vehicle was quite comfortable and we were provided with cold water and snacks. The day trip was a lovely day to remember and one of the highlights of our vacation.

I traveled to Greece with my parents, husband, and mother-in-law. This was scheduled for the last day prior to leaving back home and this was one of the best tours while in Greece! Giannis (which I hope is the right spelling) picked us up at our hotel in Athens and the long drive to Mycanae, Nafplio and Corinth. The van was well appointed with rain poncho, wet wipes, snacks, maps for each person in the van. Giannis is a great conversationalist, intelligent, with a ton of information about Greece in general. At two of the stops, Epidaurus and Mycenae we had a guide dedicated for these two locations. My favorite (not only seeing the historic sites), but our lunch in Nafplio a gorgeous city and delicious seafood! My mother-in-law even tried octopus for the very first time and loved the taste and texture (which can be difficult with octopus!). The total time of the tour is about 9 hours. The sites can be difficult to navigate (meaning uphills and a ton of steps). The parents all opted out of some part of the tours because of the navigation of steps and uphill. Overall, I highly recommend this tour - all of us really enjoyed the sites and Giannis made this truly a highlighted tour of Greece!
