Reviews
Our guide Katerina was fantastic! She shared many stories & history of the places we visited & all places along the way. The places visited on this trip is amazing too!
The tour guide is excellent in explaining details of the places even starting from Athens city. we were entertain by her explaining along the journey. The meal included was well worth with full set. starter,main dish and fruit. Overall I enjoyed this tour very much. we arranged for the pick up from Brown Acropol Hotel which was near to our hotel.
Amazing tour with experience tour guide. We were provided with the headset to use to listen to our tour guide . Managed to cover all itinerary places to visit. Enjoyed this tour very much and recommend for day tour when in Athens.
excellent tour and guide only thing that would have made it any better would have been a little more time at the last destination. the theatre was amazing but l would have like more time in the museum and the rest of the sight.
it was a great experience visiting the theatre of Epidaurus. the guide was very interactive and had a vast knowledge of the area
The trip went well according the schedule. The tour guide told many things detailed. I enjoy this trip very much.
Great explanation of the history by the guide and theatre is huge. Great to see some of the amazing buildings by the ancient people. Would be great if we can visit the castles and fortifications but understand that there is not enough time
Our guide, Elena, was incredibly kind. The itinerary was a bit tight, but the entire trip, including travel time, took about 9 hours.
The journey to the ancient city of Mycenae is easy and smooth, starting with a convenient pick-up service that eliminates transportation worries and adds to the leisure of the experience. Entering the ancient city, the ancient civilization is no longer just a textbook term but a gradually awakening history, thanks to the guide's detailed explanations. Walking among the ruins, you can truly feel the weight of time, making it a day trip worth savoring.
The advantage of traveling from Athens is that transportation is very convenient! If you go by yourself and need to transfer, it feels like it takes too much time. In addition, it would be a pity if the Mycenaean civilization did not have a tour guide to explain it. Fortunately, we met an interesting tour guide who told very good stories. We could look at the ruins and imagine how grand they once were!
