        Overall, an unpleasant experience.
        The walking part of the tour was very pleasant and informative. However, many negatives: # 1, it states that one of the 3 stops was to “climb to the Acropolis of Nafplion” – it did not go to the Acropolis; #2, it states that it would “visit a local restaurant to taste local produce and wines”, but instead, it took us to a small store, which provided samples of cheeses and meats; #3, unfortunately the guide had some personal issues to attend to and so spent some time dealing with that on her phone; and #4, it changed the “Land Gate” meeting location the day before the Tour and sent us an email notification via Trip Advisor, but unfortunately we did not see that 1-day-before email, and when we arrived 30 minutes early, we spent 45 minutes searching for the “Land Gate”; with inquiries to 4 local residents, none knew what that was, and on the 4th, the resident called the contact phone number for us, and located the guide at the revised location. So overall, an unpleasant experience.

        A way to see all the sites and avoid crowds.
        the company adjusted the tour to meet our ships schedule. Our driver met us promptly and went over the schedule and what we would be able to see in the time allowed. He provided water and a video to watch about the sites while we traveled to them. We were able to visit Mycenae, Corinth, the canals, and epidaurus. As a bonus he took us to the top of the city for gorgeous views of the old town and Palamidi . He also acted as a photographer to ensure that we had our picture taken at every stop. Even with all the stops we still had some time to shop in old town before boarding the ship. Note though that this is just transportation they do not tour the sites with you.

        Maria : the best tour guide ever!
        The tour guide, Maria, made this excursion! Maria made the scenery come to life with her presentation. She was extremely knowledgeable.

        Amusing All the Senses!
        No matter how high our expectations were for this tour, they were far surpassed! With our guide, Venya, we had an amazing sensory experience, taking in this beautiful city, learning about its history, and gaining an appreciation for the Greek people and culture. After the tour, we realized we could never gain an appreciation like we did from the tour, and it was a great investment of time, and great value for the money. Venya is a professional with a wonderfully-spirited disposition, and simply FUN. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the region.

        Private driver for Epidavros and Mycenae
        Very nice driver took us to important historical sites in the area which would have been much harder to find on our own. Having a private car was really nice, we could go at our own pace.

        Great tour!
        Our driver was on time and very friendly and helpful. We had extra time after visiting the 2 sites so our driver offered to take us to another stop in Nafplion Since this was a private tour we were able to get to the sites early and avoid the crowds. We were also able to visit at our own pace (much faster than a tour group). We had our own guidebook that gave us ample information on the important artifacts and we didn’t have to listen to filler information provided by a guide.

        Very disappointing
        While our driver was very courteous, our tour was a complete disappointment. Our guide gave us absolutely no information whatsoever so we were completely on our own at every location. Had we known, we would’ve bought a guidebook. But every other Viator tour guide has been a wealth of information., so we did not think this was necessary. This time he was basically a glorified taxi driver.

        Disappointed
        Nice, clean VW and we were transported to advertised venues (Mycenae, Ancient Corith, Corith Canal and Epidavros). However, that's about all I can comment. Driver made five remarks (there is the jail, there is an orange grove, there is a fortress, there is an ancient port and there is new Epidavros) over the entire trip of 7 & 1/2 hours. The trip was advertised as an English speaking driver but without a guide. On other tours we have taken, the normal procedure was for the driver to provide some background and insight into the places to be visited. When you arrived in the sites, one would either hire a local, site guide or conduct a self-guided tour. Not the case on this tour. What was really disappointing was that reviews I read about this tour raved about the driver and how informative he was with providing information and antidotes. Sure wasn't the driver we were provided. If I had to rate this experience, it would be in the negative numbers. It was a rip-off. Unique Greek Tours is the right name for this company. You use them once and NEVER again.

        Great day trip around the classical sites in the Peloponnese Region
        Really enjoyable trip to Mycenae, Ancient Corinth, the Corinth Canal and finally Epidavros. Even managed to watch some of the phenomenal runners doing the Spartathlon at our stop at the Corinth Canal. Our guide/driver Nikos was excellent, provided local context whenever needed and was totally attentive to our needs. A fabulous day 😀

        Perfect private tour
        We were able to adjust the pickup time to fit our cruise time, and had a wonderful tour with Antonios! We adjusted to fit our desires, and were thrilled to see the beautiful area in total comfort. We highly recommend!

        Day out of Athens
        We took a Viator Tour from Athens to Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth and Nafplion and it was a long day but full of beautiful scenery, ancient architecture and artifacts. The traffic in Athens caused us delays which made our trip overextended by almost 2 hours. The Corinth Canal is 15 min and is amazing to see. Ancient Corinth had interesting detail including area of St Paul’s preaching. Nafplion was an absolutely beautiful little town with 3 castles, many restaurants and shopping.

        Lovely private tour
        We had a lovely private tour and were picked up right outside our apartment. Gina was very knowledgeable and passionate about the region and the wineries and we enjoyed learning about this. The two wineries we visited were very welcoming. We started out visiting some archeological sites in Nemea right before some tour buses arrived, so we managed to see them almost by ourselves.

        Very nice way to be transported to the archeology sites
        Transported in a beautiful Mercedes van. Driver was very nice. Tour is self guided. Driver gives only minimal information but answers any questions freely.

      This is an awesome experience! The tour advertises that it includes a visit to the theater of Epidaurus, but really you get full access to the entire site of the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour guide picks you up in Nafplion and drives you to the site. You are allowed as much time as you want to tour the site, and we were able to view the ancient temple and hospital complex, as well as the theater. The theater alone is worth flying to Greece to see. It's absolutely incredible!

      After touring Epidaurus, you are driven to the Melas olive farm where you are provided with an overview of olive growing from one of the Melas employees while sitting in the olive groves. Then you watch a short informational video that covers the company's certifications and processes. Then you are taken through the factory. When we visited the factory was not running because they only have two olive presses, which only run during harvest season (November to February). After the tour, you get to participate in an olive tasting of two varieties of extra virgin olive oil. Both were absolutely delicious! Finally, you are provided with what the tour guide described as a "snack," but was more of a light meal. It was also delicious! You get fresh extra virgin olive oil drizzled over fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bread, olives, and chesses, accompanied by carbonated water. Once you are finished, you can purchase products from the company, which are significantly cheaper than you'll find in the grocery store. They have olives, honey olives, olive oil chocolate, olive oil, olive oil soap, and various olive oil skin care products.

      This is an incredible tour and well worth the price. The tour guide also provided us with her personal contact information and said we could contact her throughout the day if we had any questions or needed anything while we toured Nafplion. I 100% recommend this tour.
