Beautiful historic sights with lots of time to see. Tour guide very knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Don’t buy lunch tickets. Only part of the trip that was disappointing.
So hopeful and then so disappointed.

I was not able to join the tour or reschedule to another day. Because I entered the wrong address into my taxi online request, we went to the wrong location and then when we arrived to the right address we were late and understandably, the tour needed to leave without us. What frustrated me was that I called the tour operator (Key Tours) and the person told me to get there as soon as possible even when I explained that I would be 15 minutes late. When I got there, I was told to contact Viator, which I did. The Viator rep called and was told that she had to email. Before all of that could have happened, i received a message back from Viator that I could not cancel due to the lateness of my request. However, I had told the staff what had happened - i wasn't trying to cancel but had asked to reschedule to a different day (which the email did not address). The bus was not close to being full, and there are several seats on the bus in future days. I realize that it was my fault for missing the bus, but I was also given some wrong information along the way and no understanding of the predicament that I was in to be in a foreign country for the first time, trying to enter addresses that do not use the same standards that I am used to.

A great way to experience many important Peloponnese sites from your base in Athens in one day, and without having to worry about driving. I only wish we could have had more time at Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidavros because they are all beautiful and fascinating, but there's simply not enough time in the day. Our guide and driver were great. Very glad we did this.
Great experience

A must do! Hassle free, so convenient! Guide and driver were excellent! An unexpected wine and cheese taste testing was awesome. We opted out of the lunch due to reviews, but maybe we should have for time management purposes. Never enough time for sights, shopping and eating on all of the tours that we have done, but we knew that going in. We had a wonderful time!
It was a great excursion....
