Private Tour To Mycenae And Epidaurus(entrance Tickets Included)

What a wonderful day. Everything was made so easy and SO interesting by our fabulous driver Tasos. He was so knowledgeable and very helpful in understanding the significance of what we were visiting and its importance to history. Loved it. Also so incredibly helpful with our mother who was visiting the sites with a walker. He went above and beyond securing a ride in a golf cart to see the amphitheater in Epidaurus.

George was an excellent driver but was not allowed to accompany us into the sites. His English was very good and he gave us lots of interesting information.

This was a taxi! The taxi sign was on top of the car. The driver was very friendly but no sort of guide, registered or otherwise. He greeted us, passed us 5 sheets of paper each (1 sheet of A4 on each site + 3 illustrations from various websites as indicated by the legend in the pictures) and a bottle of water. The sites are worth seeing but save your money and book a taxi and print of the wikipaedia pages.

Our driver was knowledgeable and worked with us on our itinerary. Mycenae and Epidaurus were awesome sites to visit!

The description of this activity is quite misleading. This is not a tour, and it's in fact an overpriced taxi service. Even though the description claims you'll be "guided" and the driver is an "expert", you will in fact do the activities on your own, and the information we received from our driver going from one site to another was often factually incorrect or completely irrelevant. What you're paying 200/person for is to be driven to 2 sites, which is a huge markup. This was such a disappointing waste of the one day we had in Mycenae that we asked for a refund.

This tour essentially consisted of a car ride from Nafplio to these two sights with a driver and a non-licensed guide (as described in advance) who was a native of the United States. We chatted with her about why she moved to Greece and her life there for the last 25 years and that was interesting. There was some discussion about the sights we were going to see on the tour but that commentary was minimal. The sights were interesting but we toured them on our own, the guide does not join. This was also described in advance so it wasn’t a surprise but I was looking for a bit more as we travelled to the sights.

Taksos was a wonderful guide. He has a fantastic knowledge of Greek philosophy and a deep understanding of the cultural significance of these sights. We really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend the tour.

The experience was not as described. It was simply being driven to sites and then left alone. There was no guiding involved, although the driver made an attempt to guide when we complained.

We made the trip to Mycenae and Epidaurus sanctuary with George as our driver. Although we were the only 2 booked for the trip George welcomed us and made the day very special. He is a charming and genuine young man who is impossible not to like. His knowledge of the region is extensive (he grew up in the area) and he related the history and mythology of the destinations which gave the trip depth and interest. He was also a font of local knowledge. We looked at several alternative ways of visiting these important sites but in terms of ease, comfort and enjoyment this trip and company were an excellent choice. We had a wonderful, informative day, George was great company and I would highly recommend this trip. Thanks George we really enjoyed the day and meeting you.

We had a great time on our private tour of Mycenae and Epidarius - our driver, Tasos was the best!

Great time viewing both sites. Tasos our guide was perfect!! Kept us informed and gave us so much history and local knowledge about where we were. Would highly recommend this tour.

Our private tour to Mycenae and Epidaurus was great - our driver and guide (Kostas) was excellent - very personable and just a really nice guy. We loved talking with him and learning about his life in Greece, and he provided loads of great information for us on both sites and the countryside and villages along the way. The theater at Epidaurus was amazing, and the Mycenae site and ruins were extremely interesting - with absolutely incredible scenic views!!

The sites we visited were amazing. Our driver did not speak English so he was not able to answer our questions. He was very professional and a good driver.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We felt it was a great value. We learned a lot. Tacos was wonderful . We would highly recommend this company and tour guide. Thanks for the amazing experience!

We had a great time seeing the sites! Panagiwtis was very helpful.

The sites as Mycenae and Epidaurus were amazing to see and must-see sites if you’re in the area. It was great to have a driver who was so well-versed in both the history of the sites and the Ancient Greek philosophy that influenced them.

We had a great trip. We were immediately handed descriptions of the sites we would see and then got the history of the region during the drive. Mycenae and Epidaurus are definitely must-see when in the Peloponnese.

This was a basic, functional transportation. The vehicle actually was a cab (meter off), though on the newer, cleaner, nicer side of things. Our driver met us where our cruise ship tender unloaded with a sign with my name - no issues around meet up despite our ship being about 15 minutes later than we had booked for. The driver took us to the Treasury of Atreus first. It was just down the road from Mycenae and had a common admission ticket which the driver purchased for us. After leaving us to explore that for a bit, he drove us down the road to Mycenae, where we explored the museum and ruins on our own for another 60-90 minutes. From there, he drove us to the theater at Epidaurus and left us to explore the theater, museum, and ruins on our own. Both sites were amazing to see. The car was clean and comfortable and he provided bottled water. Note that this is a driver, not a licensed guide, so he isn't allowed to come in and show you around or explain anything to you. At each stop, he dropped us off at the gate, bought our tickets, and was waiting by the gate for us to return. When we returned to town, we asked him for some recommendations for lunch, he dropped us off by one and pointed out that there was a local farmers market in town that day which we walked to afterwards and really enjoyed. The itinerary was more than enough time for us at each location - we didn't even end up using the full amount of time we had booked.

Kind and accommodating guide. The van was very comfortable and guide was informative about the surrounding areas during the ride to the sites. My only suggestion would be that he knows more about the history of the sites for the cost of the tour. We were given sheets with short explanations of each site however the driver did not seem to know much about the details of each place.

Excellent. Our guide Panos was knowledgeable and very helpful. Recommend him for your trip. Also showed us around Nafplio with ideas for restaurants etc

Mycenae and Epidaurus are incredible experiences in their own right. It could be a lot to fit them both into one day, but this tour makes it easy and enjoyable, especially in the heat. The van was first class. As always the case with private tours, our guide could, and did, elevate the experience to a whole other level. Passos not only knew the history, as a local he is able to talk about the importance of the sites today. As a student of Greek philosophy, he provided an insight and background to the books and mythology that lent many layers of depth to the history. This is way more than a “tour”, couldn’t recommend enough.

Excellent hospitality, comfort and professionalism. We enjoyed the sites and information along the way. The cold water provided was much appreciated. Good communication and friendliness made the day pleasant. What a wonderfully convenient and enriching way to see history of the area, to be shown by a person who is from the region.

This tour was amazing! Wonderful service, amazing sights, and a kind driver. I would highly recommend this tour to all groups!
