What people are saying about Nafplio

Our guide was very charming and informative. Usually, the tour apparently includes a short boat trip, which we couldn't do on that day, which was a shame, or cheese tastings which we'd done on a food tour the previous day! So we sampled Greek coffee instead.

Walking tour was perfect to understand the history of the city and layout, stop at the local deli and cheese shop was the highlight

The tour was very beautiful. Our guide was very nice. Interesting information. Wonderful city.

This was an excellent trip with an excellent driver
