Vivian was an excellent guide and we enjoyed the format of the day - background was given on the bus en route to each destination but we were then given free time at each stop to view at our leisure. It was a good amount of time at each stop.

I want to begin saying how much I enjoyed this excursion today, if I could rate it with 6 stars I would do it. The driving experience was great, every seat had its own aircon and the driver drove us correctly all the way. The places visited are just so exciting and it makes it even more exciting if you are passionated by Greek History. Everything place we visited was awesome cause we even had a stop in the Corinth Canal. Micenea is just fantastic, Naufplio a beautiful town and Epidauro was the most exciting and interesting place for me. The theatre is massive, just incredible and believe me you won't know what I mean until you live the experience. It caught my attention too the two huge doors you have to pass through to get in it. The guide, OMG what an awesome lady she have defenetly been the best guide in all 4 tour I did in my Trip to Greece. Every single sentence she tells shows how passionate and professional I could say much more about but the max 1000 words. Just an awesome exp.
