Great tour with amazing sights for a partial day escape - This is a great trip to do from Athens if you want to get away to somewhere completely different, but only have part of a day. Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed every part. Palamidi Castle has amazing views. Corinth Canal is neat, but you only need to spend a few minutes there. Nafplio is nice and has amazing food. The timing is just right for everything. Our driver was nice and very knowledgeable about everything on the tour and a few other places we passed. I would highly recommend the tour.

A wonderful day trip to Nafplion - We had a lovely day visiting Nafplion, the Fortress of Palamidi and the canal in Corinth. The scenery was spectacular and the old town was very vibrant and charming. Dimitrius was an excellent driver. He was very engaging and attentive, and wanted to ensure we enjoyed our day. What a great day we had!

Great day trip from Athens - We made numerous changes to their itinerary, and they were more than happy to do so. We added the Athens Monastery (UNESCO SITE)and skipped Corinth, since our 10 day guided tour later in the week was going to Corinth.

Had a very pleasant... - Had a very pleasant experience with Petros as my driver. He made a stop at the remarkable Corinth Canal, drove me to Palamidi castle where the views are spectacular and dropped me off in Nafplio city center to shop and eat lunch. Nafplio is a beautiful coastal town to explore.

Definitely worth it! - Petros was a great guide! The agency was more than happy to accommodate a different departure time for us and Petros even helped us find a great spot to eat dinner in Nafplio! We didn’t feel rushed at all and was able to enjoy everything we wanted to!

Our excellent tour guide, Peter. - Peter was a wonderful tour guide. He was friendly, was very easy to converse with, was willing to explain things as we traveled and his English is very good. Peter was helpful, prompt and courteous throughout the day. The sites were also memorable but it was Peter that made the trip most memorable for Patrice and Alan.
