A must do day trip - This tour was a highlight of our trip to Greece! Everything was smooth and well-organized from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the drive was scenic and relaxing. Nafplio was absolutely stunning—full of charm, history, and incredible views. We loved exploring the fortress, walking the picturesque streets, and enjoying some local bites by the sea. There was a great balance of guided stops and free time. If you’re in Athens and want to see more of Greece’s beauty, this day trip is a must. Highly recommend

Great tour with amazing sights for a partial day escape - This is a great trip to do from Athens if you want to get away to somewhere completely different, but only have part of a day. Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed every part. Palamidi Castle has amazing views. Corinth Canal is neat, but you only need to spend a few minutes there. Nafplio is nice and has amazing food. The timing is just right for everything. Our driver was nice and very knowledgeable about everything on the tour and a few other places we passed. I would highly recommend the tour.

A wonderful day trip to Nafplion - We had a lovely day visiting Nafplion, the Fortress of Palamidi and the canal in Corinth. The scenery was spectacular and the old town was very vibrant and charming. Dimitrius was an excellent driver. He was very engaging and attentive, and wanted to ensure we enjoyed our day. What a great day we had!

Day tour to Nafplio - Our driver was a great guy, on time and pleasant. Sadly, we were disappointed as there was no information, historical background or bit of helpful information shared. His role was evidently that of a driver and no more. It would have been cheaper to hire a taxi.
