This tour I would rank on the very top of tours I have taken. Hirini was an exceptional host and made this trip even more engaging. The location we had traveled to before and wanted to go back to explore and have a private tour. This trip did just that. I can not say enough about the enjoyable time we had.

Eirini provided us a wonderful experience touring Nafplio, Corinth and Semeli Winery. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area. Shared lots of useful information on the areas and Greece as a whole. The winery served delicious wines and an amazing tour of the facility. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely day with Manos, going to a very beautiful winery on top of a mountain! They gave us a lovely tour of their winemaking process as well as a tasting of their wonderful wines. We extended our stay there and enjoyed more wine and appetizers with the mountains in the background. Such delight! Then we took a short drive to Nafplio to do some shopping and enjoying the seaside town as well as eating a lovely meal. Since we had already seen the Corinthian Canal, we took a short drive to Mycenae to walk among the ruins of the ancient city. Manos was wonderful about sharing so much information about Greece and the different places we visited. What a wonderful day we had with Manos!
Manos our driver was the best! So friendly and knowledgeable. Our day with him was the highlight of our trip!
A great day trip. Nafplio is adorable. And the Namea wines are a delight. Not to mention, the guide is knowledgeable, friendly, and super helpful.
Our guide was wonderful. Shared so many stories about the places we visited and about Greece itself. He was graciously accommodating when we asked to cut short the visit to Mycenaea. (It was too hot and we are too old to climb). I highly recommend this trip.
Beautiful day! Our driver Manos was fantastic - we enjoyed every stop and consider this a highlight of our holiday!!
We are so glad we booked this tour. The winery our guide chose was gorgeous and the wines were great. Our guide Manos was very knowledgeable about history and gave us interesting insight into the areas we visited.
We had a wonderful day with our guide Manos. He was very knowledgeable of the area and shared a lot about the country (ancient past, past and present). We went to the Corinth Canal which was a fascinating place. Then we went to a very nice winery with a tour and tasting. It was situated in a beautiful area and the tour was relaxed and enjoyable. After the winery we went to a beautiful seaside village called Nafplio. We had a nice lunch and walked around the shops. At the end of the tour Manos recommended places for drinks and dinner at a small marina where the Piraeus Sailing Club was located. It was a nice finish to a beautiful day. His English was perfect. He was very interesting to talk to. Brush up on your knowledge of Greece.
Manos was an excellent guide and storyteller. My family enjoyed our trip to Nafplio and the winery. The Mercedes electric car was very comfortable. We liked it so much we booked another adventure with Momos for the day after tomorrow!
**A Wonderful Day Trip at Your Own Pace** This was a fantastic way to experience several beautiful sites outside of Athens without feeling rushed. We were picked up after touring the Acropolis and headed to the impressive Corinth Canal, where we had time to take in the breathtaking views. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating throughout the day. He shared interesting facts about the areas we visited, answered all of our questions, and made sure everyone was comfortable. As a special treat, he surprised us with delicious chicken souvlaki, which was a wonderful and unexpected touch! From there, we traveled to Semeli Wines in Nemea for a relaxing wine tasting before continuing to the charming seaside town of Nafplio, often called the "Little Venice of Greece." Nafplio was truly a hidden gem and one of the highlights of our trip. The picturesque streets were lined with vibrant bougainvillea, creating the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll. We ended our visit by enjoying a delicious meal at a waterfront restaurant with spectacular views of the harbor and the historic fortress. It was the perfect way to conclude an unforgettable day. If you're looking for a relaxing tour that combines history, beautiful scenery, great wine, and an authentic Greek town, this tour is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!
Manos is a very knowledgeable guide and took care to teach us historical context of what we were visiting. We felt we could pace ourselves as needed. The Semeli winery is a gem. Would totally recommend this trip!
Our party of three adults took this private Mercedes tour and had a very enjoyable experience. The Highlights: The city of Nafplio and the wine tasting in Nemea were the clear highlights of the day for us. The Guide: Our driver, Manos, was informative and interesting throughout the trip. He was accommodating and made sure to tailor the itinerary to our specific requests. We recommend both this tour and Manos for a smooth and well-guided day trip.
Our day with Manos was the highlight of our trip to Athens. He is an incredible guide and our itinerary was perfectly balanced. We loved the historical sites, visit to Semeli Estate Winery—the views and wines were awesome—followed by a fantastic lunch in the beautiful town of Nafplio. Manos is knowledgeable, professional, and great company. Highly recommend spending a day with him while in Greece.
Eirini was a pleasure to tour with! She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and showed us a great time in Greece!
Our driver was great today. She knew a lot about Greece and the stops. The winery tour and tasting was a lot of fun.
Manos is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. His car is also in very good condition and comfortable. Nafplio is an excellent side trip from Athens and the wine tasting experience is unique.
Irena Private Tours was a wonderful experience. Irena was very knowledgeable and very personable. My wife and I spent the entire day with Irena and she drove us all around the country side with a wonderful wine tasting tour included. She also picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the Seaport for our cruise of the Greek isles and Istanbul Turkey. She is also picking us up from the Seaport and taking us to the airport to fly home when we arrive. We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Irena. We would recommend her with great enthusiasm. Thank you Irena for all you did to make our vacation special.
We booked this last minute and it was the best decision we made! The tour was wonderful and it was all because of Glykeria☺️ She is so knowledgeable and so sweet. She gave us recommendations and took us to the best winery with the best views. We loved it so much that we decided to do another trip with her! Would recommend this to anyone who wants to venture out of Athens for a day trip.
Manos was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and managed to cover a lot in just one day without ever making things feel rushed. He drove us efficiently and safely to each location, providing helpful context along the way that really enriched the experience. He also customized our experience to include Epidaurus, which we really appreciated. He gave excellent recommendations and was always genuine and reliable. Highly recommend! You are in good hands!
This was a customizable relaxed tour. Eirini did a great job explaining our options. We ended up spending more time at the winery- which was a great experience! The sea side town of Nafplio was beautiful. Seeing the country side along the ride (sheep, goats and small villages) was delightful. We highly recommend this tour and our guide- Eirini!
This is a very relaxed trip with time to see where St. Paul preached to the Corninthians, tour and tasting at a beautiful winery, and pleasure coffee and food at a port town. Good discussion with the driver/guide. Everything was on time and at our pace. No hassle. Very easy.
Fabulous experience. The winery was above any expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this trip. The area is just lovely and it was great to get away from the city of Athens for a day.
Nafplio was a beautiful town, well worth the drive. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Greece and he was very adaptable when we decided to forego a winery to spend more time in Nafplio. Highly recommend this day trip!
This trip was absolutely amazing! Our guide Manos was very friendly and knowledgeable, and quite flexible with us wanting to spend more time at some sites than others. The ruins were amazing, and wine was excellent. He also had great recommendations for restaurants in Nafplio. We would all absolutely recommend this trip to anyone else.
This was so wonderful and a great way to leave the city for a day! Monos was a fabulous driver and told us so much about the history of the area! The winery was excellent. The Corinth canal was also super cool to see! I would recommend!!
Enjoyable tour. Meaningful experiences and a comfortable ride with knowledgeable guide.
We had a fantastic day trip with our driver, Manos! Manos was not only an excellent driver but also a great guide, sharing interesting historical insights and stories along the way. He made the day both educational and fun with his friendly personality and deep knowledge of the sites. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Greece!
Our guide Eirini was excellent. A native of Athina she knew the area quite well . She was relaxed and laid back and accommodated our personal timing . The sights she showed us were amazing it was a great itinerary . I would however recommend only having 3 adults or less participate as we were four and the backseat was crowded in her Mercedes .
We had a wonderful experience with Manos in Greece and highly recommend his tour. He was on time, extremely personable, and very knowledgeable about Athens and the surrounding areas. His passion for Greek history made each stop even more meaningful. He picked us up promptly and took us to the Corinth Canal, sharing fascinating historical details along the way. From there, we traveled to Nemea, where he arranged wine tasting reservation for us, making the experience effortless. The wine was delicious and we even bought some to take home with us! Our final stop was Nafplio, where he provided great lunch recommendations and local insights. He was flexible, attentive, and truly focused on what we wanted to do, which made the day smooth and enjoyable. A fantastic driver and guide who greatly enhanced our trip to Greece.
Great host and incredibly informative - a must to do at least once in your life - you will love it !
Look no further! This is the tour you want to do! Such a great day packed with activities YOU want to do on YOUR time schedule…you want to stay an hour, stay an hour…you want to stay 2, you’ll stay 2. Very informative, educational, relaxing, and exciting tour…you must do this!
Perfect way to spend your last day in the Athens Greece area. Quiet town with a fantabulous sea front walk and wine tasting. A must do for all visitors.
Andreas made this tour incredible. We visited the Corinth Canal, and we had free time in Nafplio. He provided just the right amount of information and was very professional. He capped our tour off with an amazing winery, Semeli. I highly recommend this tour and Andreas as your guide.
Manos was one of the best we have had the pleasure to tour us. He was educational, informative and super helpful. He was there for us and went out of his way to make sure we were pleased. The sites we visited and the winery as impressive.
Very much enjoyed our tour with Eirini, great to get out of Athens for a day and see pelopennese country side. The winery, Semeli is a fabulous experience, relaxed wine tasting and tour of the production as it was harvest season we got to see the operations in action. Eirini was reliable and took us to a second vineyard I stead of town of Nafpoli.
Nice trip to Canal, winery and Nafplio. Wish we could have toured archeological museum and more of Nafplio but not enough time.
Giorgos Kalantzis was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was prompt picking us up at our hotel in his E class Mercedes; clean and comfortable. We traveled to all our destinations with ease, accompanied by kind conversation and an historical overview of the sites and highlights along the way. Giorgos went above and beyond to ensure our comfort , safety and answered all our questions with great enthusiasm. Many thanks again! Looking forward to more private tours and travels around Greece with Giorgos! Would highly recommend!

An excellent day with Eirini! The winery was perfect and the history Eirini shared during our travels was great.
We had an amazing time with Manos, he knew so much history and told us his top recommendations per area. The ride was comfortable, fun and informative! Highly recommend the experience to anyone looking to explore outside of Athens
Fabulous day filled with beauty and historic treasures. The view from Nemea wine region was spectacular. Wonderful customized tour.
Giorgos Kalantzis led us on an AMAZING tour and was fully knowledgeable, energetic and full of life! The highlight of the trip for my wife and me was the stop in Nafplio, one of the most romantic places for lunch and romantic walk in the picturesque seaside town. George was so accommodating, professional and personable, and made our experience his top priority. He even went above and beyond with information after he learned the St. Paul Biblical Experience tour was initially scheduled, but subsequently cancelled with another tour operator.
If you’re looking to get out of Athens and see more of the country, this is a great day trip option. Our driver picked us up from our hotel in a new, luxury Mercedes car. Our first stop was a beautiful winery in the Nemea region. The cost for the tasting and tour is additional and you pay at the winery. We were allowed as much time as we wanted to enjoy the property and the wine. Our next stop was Nafplio. This town is so beautiful! The streets and buildings are stunning! We were there around 4:00 pm so we found a lot of the stores and shops were closed, be mindful of the times you are visiting. We left around 6:00 pm and things were starting to open and liven up. Again, our driver told us to take as much time as we wanted for the town. Our last stop was the Corinthian Canal. We were lucky enough to watch a super yacht come through. This was a great way to see more of the country without having to rent a car and navigate the roads ourselves.
Our driver was attentive, kind and knowledgeable. Was a fantastic day for my husband and I. The winery was lovely and staff was great. The coast was absolutely beautiful.
We had a great day with Eirini! She was a great tour guide and easy conversationist answering all of our many questions. The wine tasting experience at Ktima Bairaktaris was great and we loved Nafplio!
George was very accommodating in every way. He listened to what we liked and didn’t like and planned the tour accordingly. Couldn’t rate him any higher. He was a superb and very knowledgeable guide. Thank you.
Of guid for the day was Manos. What a great person. Extremely knowledgeable about Greek History, the wine region and just about everything about Greece.
This is a must do when you're in Athens and you want something to do that's a bit outside the city and a little less crowded. It's nice to get out of the city, and all 3 stops are very worthwhile! The Corinth canal is really beautiful and incredible. You don't stop there long, just long enough to see it and walk across the bridge. The 2nd stop is wine tasting, which was also very nice. We're a bit spoiled with wines, as we live in California, but this winery was surprisingly nice...and beautiful with spectacular views. Lastly was Nafplio where we had lunch and walked around this charming old town. Our tour guide didn't rush us at all. We just called her when we were done and she came and picked us up and drove us back into Athens. We particularly liked our guide for this trip (Iliana). She was very knowledgeable and pleasant to have as our resource and guide.
We had a wonderful day with Eilini as our host. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and was very flexible with our requests. We loved the winery so much we ended up staying for lunch. The wines were delicious and the staff were fantastic! The corinth canal was amazing! On our return Eilini suggested we have dinner in an area outside of the tourist areas and she dropped us off right there. The strip of restaurants on the waterfront were beautiful. I highly recommend this tour Robert
