It was a wonderful experience walking among the Mycenaean ruins, however the true highlight was the theater in Epidaurus. Our guide Mena was great and very knowledgeable. The only thing I did not enjoy was having a very long lunch in a generic catering hall. That time should have been used during our stop in Nauplia, which was so charming.

The lunch was prearranged hotel food and spoiled the experience for me. I would have rather gone to a taverna, but they work the timing out that makes anything but the hotel lunch possible. I was dropped off at the wrong hotel and had to use my map to find my way back to the correct drop point and then to my hotel. After a long day, that was the last thing I wanted to do. When I complained to the supervisor the next day, all as he said was that that was wrong and stupid. Buyer beware. Hint, don't get off the bus until you are 100 sure you are at the correct location.

It was a memorable experience and a must see for all who care about history!_br/_ We were so lucky to have Joy, for our guide, a lady with such vast knowledge of history, mythology and history of art, and the ability to present it in perfect English and French. _br/_ She was very helpful and gave us valuable information and tip to visit National Archeology Museum in Athens, to see the exhibits from Mycenae area. It was a joy to hear Joy's stories!

Guide is very knowledgeable. Tour is educational, especially if you're into Ancient Greek History. It was just unfortunate that it was raining the day I went. The guide is kind enough to lend me her extra umbrella.

I took this tour before visiting Athens world class archaeological museum, which was a fortunate happenstance. I had much more perspective about all the amazing artifacts found there. Our guide was outstanding, and it was a wonderful experience walking among the Mycenaean ruins. Agamemnons tomb was a highlight.

This was definitely worth a long day to see Mycenae and Epidaurus. The only thing I would change is the Lunch. We stopped between Mycenae and Epidaurus at a hotel for Lunch. The hotel was basically by it self in the middle of a field. So, you basically have to eat lunch here, there are no other options. I would have preferred to have had the hotel lunch at Nafplion, and thus had more options and more time to see Nafplion.

Loved the place and the guide -unfortunately I cannot remember her name, she was a Greek lady and her grasp of English was fantastic! A great professional.

Much too overpriced. Normally viator offers you small coaches for about 10 people, but somehow in Greece they decided to change to big busses designed for more people although on this particular tour it wasn't even filled. If I wanted to go on such a large scale tour, I could have gotten pretty much the same tour somewhere else for a much cheaper price than here.

Apart from a little difficulty with the Hotel pick up which was a Hotel issue tip: wait at the reception desk and not the entrance and mention to reception who you are and who you are waiting for! the tour proceeded very efficiently and the visits to the Corinth canal and Mycenae were both very interesting and spectacular. Epidaurus theatre was superb but perhaps a wander in the other ruins could have been included. Lunch was good if a little soulless in a large modern hotel. Our guide was lovely and kept us amused with Greek myths. Thoroughly recommended.

Really enjoyable, varied trip with lots of different stop offs packed in. The tour guide was excellent too.

Should start a Mycenae tour before seeing Athens as this is the beginning. The guide will never disappoint you with wonderful historic story telling.

First, the hotel pick up by the bus was on time...very good. Second, the van/bus was clean and modern..very good. Third, the driver got us home... Very good. Fourth, the guide knew her stuff. She told interesting and accurate stories/information. She was the best. Fifth, Chat Tours in Athens is good

It was an amazing experience and affordable. We visit the Corinthian Channel, Epidaurus and Mycenae. Our guide, Ephy, was extraordinary and she supplied us a lot of information, interesting stories and miths. Highly recommended for a 10 hours trip and a very comfortable voyage.

Really enjoyed this trip. Beautiful sites to visit and good tour guide. Lunch was also good in Nafplio.
Review by: INA P, October 2017
We were very happy with this tour. Our guide was grate, he was well informed and had humorous comments that made our trip. We did not take a tour with lunch included and we had a chance to enjoy our free time in Naphlio and have our lunch there which was so much better then lunch in a hotel which was included.
Review by: NAG, October 2017
The tour guide was informative, and the transportation was always on time. I would have preferred more time at the sites, especially Epidaurus. Perhaps taking less than thirty minutes per test stop would help.
Review by: Asif Q, October 2017
These are the less famous and less visited sites of ancient greece so worth it. As with most tours they take an hour doing all the hotel pickups. First stop was the Corinth canal where you can also buy snacks. Next was Mycenae definitely the days highlight with its unusual circular pyramid design as well as a stop to the tomb of agemmemnon. Then we stopped for an hour at some resort hotel in the middle of nowhere. Lunch wasnt in my option and we were told there was a cafeteria but it was closed. Good job I bought a sandwich in Corinth earlier. After an hour at the hotel we stopped for 30 mins in Nafplio the first capital. This was a historic city with lots of cafes and restaurants. It would have been better to spend the 90 mins here for lunch rather than the isolated hotel. Finally Epidaurus which was a healing centre. Our guide Marina was very knowledgeable. A good tour and suggest they move lunch to Nafplio.
