Full description
Begin your day trip with a pick-up at your Athens hotel or apartment early in the morning. In just an hour from the city of Athens, you will pass through the famous Corinth Canal ( short stop ) which connects the Saronic to the Corinthian Gulf and literally divides mainland Greece from the Peloponnese.

Amazing experience, totally worth the price. Not only Theodore is a safe driver, he’s also a history teacher who explained us the history of Greece while travelling, he’s very kind and an enjoyable person to spend the day with. We met Pat in Epidaurus and Mycenae archeological sites, she is an expert guide and was able to answer to the many questions we made after telling us the story of this ancient land. We feel enriched by the experience. The van was luxury level, clean and well maintained.

Wow this day trip was amazing. Theo (our guide) and Antonis (our driver) we’re both amazing. Pick up was on time and in a really convenient location. Theo was so knowledgeable on all the areas that we visited. He was also such a great person to talk to and you can tell that he really enjoyed taking this tour. The Corinth canal was a great little stop and an amazing man made structure to see. At Epidaurus and Mycenae we had a local guide Patty, who was so amazing and friendly. Both spots were incredible and a must see. When we arrived in Napflio, Theo took us on a walking tour through the town and showed us the must see sites and also the history of the city. It really is such an amazing place to see. Theo also took us to a great little Gyros place for lunch. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to see as much as you can.

This was a fantastic way to see the countryside outside of Athens and some truly amazing sites. Our driver Fotis was on time to pick us up and drove very well. The Mercedes van was comfortable. The star of the show was Gari, though. She was an archeologist and was really excited about what she told us about. She made the tour fun. I highly recommend this tour.
