- Corinth Canal - Begin the journey from our terminal for a one-day tour along the coastal National Highway to the Corinth Canal (brief stop).
- Archaeological Site Mycenae - Following the Corinth Canal, enter the Argolis region, the land of Homer’s Golden Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Dating back to the second century B.C., Mycenae was a significant center of Greek civilization and a military stronghold that dominated much of southern Greece. Explore the archaeological site, home to the kingdom of the legendary Agamemnon. Discover the Cyclopean Walls, the Lion’s Gate, the Royal Tombs, including those of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and the Treasury of Atreus, a remarkable 14th-century B.C. structure. In Mycenae, there is an opportunity for an optional visit to a pottery factory.
- Nafplio - Next, head to Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, a town rich in history and charm. Enjoy a guided walking tour through the old town, followed by free time to wander at your leisure, exploring its scenic streets, elegant neoclassical buildings, and lively squares. Admire the views of Bourtzi, the iconic fortified islet in the port, before dining at a traditional restaurant.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - Proceed to Epidaurus to visit the ancient theatre. This UNESCO World Heritage-listed monument is believed to be the birthplace of Apollo’s son Asklepios, the healer, and was the most renowned healing center of the classical world. Epidaurus is perhaps best known for its theatre, one of the best-preserved classical Greek structures, still in use today due to its exceptional acoustics. Alternatively, enjoy a tranquil walk through the small forest adjacent to the theatre or relax with a coffee or tea, savoring the sounds of nature. The day tour concludes with a return to Athens in the late afternoon.

Great tour. - Key Tours makes this easy, and our guide on the bus and for Nafplio was great. Bus has wifi to put the self guided tour on your phone. Bring ear buds. a long day, but Scenic and worth the long bus ride to and from a convenient pickup point near Hadrian's Gate.

A lovely experience.... - A lovely experience. There is much to see and time is sufficient, so everything can be seen. Be mindful to return to the bus on schedule, at each sightseeing stop.

Peloponnese Tour of 4 towns - This is a combination tour of 4 places, starting with Corinth canal and then driving down city and view of Corinth acropolis at distance. Then Mycenae. Third location is a beautiful Venetian town of Nafplio and finally Epidaurus the center of healing. For me Nafplio was best, then Epidaurus. For myself, Mycenae was not so interesting but Corinth canal joining Agean and Ionian seas was very interesting.

It's a well thought out... - It's a well thought out and managed day, with information provided extremely well by the leader. It's quite a long day but we'll worth it.

Everything seen but unpunctual guests - The tour was well organized. The Corinth Canal is worth seeing, Mycenae is mediocre but has good views, Nafplio was nice and picturesque, Epidauros is something for people who have never seen stones, except the amphitheatre there is zero worth seeing and 20 euros far too expensive. Very bad was the tolerated lack of punctuality of the Americans and Canadians, like 20 minutes later. There's a penalty charge here.

Improveable - The time given to Epidaurus for an hour is very short and there should be the time control guide.
The driver hung on his mobile more than 50% of the time driving, laughing and notes in a notebook (photo), while driving, which conveyed insecurity

Disappointment 😞 - I booked this tour to see the area with my family. My parents don’t speak any English so since there were no other options at this time I booked with audio guide in Spanish, my first surprise was that this guide is only in the two sites that are visited, it is an application and they do not explain much about it or how to do it. If you don’t know English or anyone in your group I don’t recommend it because you miss out a bit because the guide speaks exclusively English. The second thing I didn’t like is the speed with which you have to see the archaeological sites, they cost 20€ per person left us just an hour without any flexibility, all running and bad, and on your own. However, when we stop to "taste wine and oil" if there was all the time in the world to shop in that store... I don't like this kind of thing to manipulate the tourist to shop in certain places.
DO NOT BUY THE TOUR WITH TICKETS, my last and most unpleasant surprise is that I had carefully booked the tour with entrance tikects, you visit two sites since I understand that the entrances to both are included because NO, only includes micelles for which we have paid almost 30€ per person when it really costs 20€ and clearly puts it in the entrance that you are given, I feel cheated the truth, this problem I told the guide but of course little can do her ....
The good thing I get is that all the places visited are really beautiful and worth visiting.
That would otherwise repeat or recommend this company

Viators and tour operators: difficult coexistence - Experience not to be repeated and nothing short of traumatic. I booked Tour for Mycenae and Epidaurus including tickets and lunch. On the day of the tour my complaints about the absence of tickets for the theater of Epidaurus was answered by the tour operator of Athens who did not understand them despite it was written very clearly .Viator I contacted instead confirmed my right to receive tickets for Mycenae and Epidaurus. Meanwhile I purchased at my expense 2 tickets for Epidaurus with a damage of 40 € .My advice is to be very careful and not to trust what they promise you even if in writing.
