A day well spent in the Peloponnese - We did not want to visit any archaeological sites so we had a longer stop in New Corinth and we had more time hiking to the top of the Acrocorinth. We also extended the tour to 10 hours to have more time in Nafplio. It was a lovely day trip with Theodore who was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Luxurious and Fun! - Michael was our driver, one of the best drivers I’ve ever been in a vehicle with, and he was an excellent, excellent chauffeur. We were picked up at our doorstep and taken right back there again after our 10-hour long tour.
