Mycenae And Corinth Canal Half Day Private Tour From Athens

Costa our driver was great and very knowledgeable. He picked us up on time and the drive was very pleasant. The canal and Mycene site was well worth visiting

Fantastic day trip, we really enjoyed it. Our driver Spyros was so knowledgeable and brilliant.

For me, this was the very best way to do a day trip. I’m not one for coach tours and guided groups, so this option was perfect. Thanasis is a highly professional and friendly driver who arrived ten mins before departure time. But he is much more than that — he is a mine of knowledge and information! We spent the round trip journey to Mycenae talking about ancient history, what to do back in Athens, and his great tips for places to see in Greece on future holidays. I will definitely use this service again!

Dimitris arrived early with a large and clean car. He was welcoming and friendly. Our journey was relaxing despite busy traffic. Dimitris was knowledgeable and gave us as long as we wanted at each stop. We had a great trip and a wonderful host in Dimitris.

Alex was extremely friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. His English is excellent, and we enjoyed every minute.

The whole experience was very informative and interesting. The drive was very smooth and our driver George was full of knowledge about the area, which made the experience better.

The canal was amazing and our tour guide/driver made it perfect. He had the right amount of knowledge and allowed us the opportunity to customize as we needed. Seeing the museum and touring ruins was fascinating and reminded us of all the marvels

Alex provided a very pleasant day for our trip to Mycenae through the Corinth isthmus. He was a polite and knowledgeable companion for this tour giving us plenty of time to visit the sites. He was on time, the car was comfortable and clean, and he was an excellent driver.

First-rate experience. car was clean and comfortable, water available if needed, and the driver Nokkis was very informative on both classical and ancient Greek History. A good drive there and back with time for visits to the Citadel of Mycenae, Museum and the Tomb of Atreus. Plus a halt at the Corinth Canal for photos. Highly recommended

Costa was extremely knowledgeable and engaging with our family of 7. He was prompt and offered some different choices of what we would like to experience throughout our day. We were able to take our time to visit Mycenae / Lion’s Gate which our college age kids have studied. This was the highlight of visit. As we were driving over an hour, he refreshed our memory of Greek history, mythology and biblical events and how they relate to the area. We also chatted about our families, hobbies and travels. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and time spent with Costa!

Our guide Nick brought us an excellent day trip. Amazing archeological sites, on-time pick-up and drop-off…

Excellent tour. Our guide was exceptional with deep knowledge of everything associated with Mycenae and any topic of Ancient Greece, and a great pleasure to converse with. Many great memories.

Good communication from the time we booked, good vehicle and a great driver/guide George who made the trip worthwhile. We didn’t know that although it was a clear day in Athens, it would rain in Mycenae. Given this was a private tour, they could have informed us, we could have at least taken umbrellas, if not opted for a different day. The van didn’t have seats facing each other like in the website photos, which wasn’t a big problem for us but it’s misleading. Also when stopping at the canal, the convenience store that was recommended was a big tourist trap - highly overpriced and bad quality food.

Our trip today with Spiros was excellent. He knew so much about everything we were driving past, pointing out many sites along the road. He was definitely the most informed tour guide we have had during our visit. Mycenae itself was interesting, from the Lion’s Gate to the ruins of the Palace to the spectacular vistas that were visible in all directions. The museum on the site had a nice collection of pottery, jewelry, and coins and was well worth the visit. The treasury of Atreus nearby was an amazing structure and an incredible feat of construction for ancient times. I recommend this tour.

Was very unimpressed with the start of trip for cost. Our driver was ok however he started. By saying he was only a driver and wasn't a guide and his English wasnt good.so not happy. Also very little time in Corinth trip got better Mycenae so that why a 3 star.

Outstanding tour. Our tour envoy/driver Ruslan was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Although it was only a half day tour, it was definitely the best of our trip. Would recommend to anyone, and would definitely book Ruslan again.

Mycenae archeological site was impressive. Our tour guide/driver, Thanos, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He took us to a small village for lunch at a local restaurant which we really enjoyed.

Our driver, Takis, was fantastic. We felt safe and secure with Takis. He was on time, drive safely and gave us lots of information. Our tour guide was great and gave us clear and concise information regarding the Mycenaean civilization.

We booked on TripAdvisor and communicated ahead of time about where we would meet our driver. Everything went very smoothly with the pickup and Dimitri was very friendly. He shared interesting information about his life, how he grew up, Greek history, mythology and more. He has a very nice Mercedes taxi, and it was a very smooth comfortable ride. We stopped at the Corinth Canal and then had about an hour and 15 minutes at the Mycenae site. He recommended a popular souvlaki place when we returned to Athens and overall it was a great half day trip!
