Both bus driver and the tour guide were very kind and willing to help. They did their best. The lunch we had at Nafplio was not as expected

Our guide Christina was a delight. She gave interesting details about what we were about to see and then from there we did it by ourselves, on our own pace. We started at the Korinth Canal for 20 min the went to Mycenae which had a bit of uphill walking but doable. Naplfio was such a charming town. I bought sandals that were hand made from one of the little shops. They also made a pit stop at a little mom & pop olive oil store. The smaller the batch, the better the quality. The nice lady had a little spread so we could sample the goods. This tour was definitely worth it. We got to spend a whole day at these amazing historical locations and be able to see the pretty countryside.

The monuments visited are certainly worth seeing. Unfortunately there was no possibility to buy in the package the entrance to the theater of Epidaurus and almost everyone who wanted to enter had to buy the ticket at the time. It was not a problem as there was no line at the ticket office, however the ticket, which costs 20 euros, allows you to see other ruins around that, for reasons of time, we could not see. The theater is worth seeing, but the expense is high so it would be preferable to spend more time in the area.

Great combination of past and present. The Mycenae and Epidaurus sites were unique, and Napfolion was a perfect stop in between.
