Irene, the guide, was charming. She spoke English and French. We arrived well in advance at the meeting point and she was already there. At the archaeological sites they give you just enough time to see them. They give you a guide which is a mobile app, in the language you want. It works well. Also, Irene gives explanations when you go on the bus. On the other hand, in Nafplion the time they give you is very short, they should at least give you one more hour. We took a sandwich with us, but if you ate in a restaurant, I doubt that you could see anything. And it is a very pretty coastal town. I wanted to go up to the top of the village and take a walk by the sea.

We booked the tour of Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus and Corinth( 20 minutes) . Our escort, though young, was attentive to everyone's needs. The time allotted for each stop was fair, however I would have preferred more time in Nafplio to be able to see the castle and fortress which, unfortunately are not visible in an hour and 30 being on high ground. Tickets to the sites are not included, and a tablet is provided on the bus with information about the sites you are going to visit, so you can unravel your visit more independently. The bus was comfortable. For us it was a nice day and above all it is a very convenient solution to be able to see the main sites without having the "stress" of the car and finding the way by yourself. Also I had found an offer with very good price.

Your Experience

Depart via bus and make a 20-minute stop at Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel that links the Gulf of Corinth to the Aegean Sea. From there, you will be heading to Mycenae, a city that dates back to the second century BC and one that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend 1.5 hours at Agamemnon’s kingdom to see the Cyclopean masonry, the Lion’s Gate and the Royal Tombs, including the Treasure of Atreus.

After a relaxing lunch break of 1.5 hours, make a pitstop at the seaport of Nauplia to see the imposing island of Bourtzi that once served as a home to executioners. From there, you continue on to Epidaurus, a place that is said to have been the sanctuary of Apollo’s son, Asklepios. Since he possessed healing powers, Epidaurus was an important sacred healing center during ancient times. You will also get to see the beautiful theatre of Epidaurus, that was built in the 4th century BC. It has excellent acoustics and is so well-preserved that it is still used to this day.

Enjoy a delicious lunch by picking the available ticket option or take this experience to the next level by booking tickets that offer a virtual reality device along with an audio guide in 8 different languages.
