    Private Tour booked via Greece insider with Athens insider

    This was part of our tour which Greece Insider, planned whole tour of Greece which included Santorini, Create and Athens area. We were lucky to have SBC's Yanus, The Hog, as our private driver. He had previously taken us to Delphi for the Delphi tour. If you have an opportunity asked for Yanus as your driver. We started out and first stop as Corinth canal which we saw, next stop was Mycenae with George, our guide. George was very informative in laying out history, philosophy and conjecture fo the area - he may or may not be to your appreciation. Mycenae, itself is more ruins than rebuilt area. Its was prominent in Greek history from 1600-1300 BC afterwhich there was a decline. The famous Lion Gate at Mycenae site as well as the proposed Agamenon tomb are two of the visited sites. Unfortunately the tomb was vandalized long time ago so they cannot state it was Agamenon or not. The Mycenae "Acropolis" site was also destroyed so much of the buildings are only scattered ruins. The museum itself has some artifacts and replicas - one being the "Agamenon" gold mask - original is in Athens. The Corinth canal is marvel of engineering 1860's. Yanus, also stopped at THE SILO which is an artist studio and shop with many interesting items from Icons, to Greek pottery, Jewelry, and food. The prices vary from expensive - Icons are very good to Authentic Reproduction of pottery. Last stop was winery at which we tasted wine and had lunch.

    Centuries of history in a day

    If you are considering a tour company for a visit to Greece, we highly recommend Athens Insider. They arranged five activities for us, and we enjoyed every one of them. They took excellent care of us, both in preparing for the trip and during the different excursions. The day trip from Athens was excellent. Our driver Yannis was outstanding — we had him as our driver for three days, and we enjoyed our time with him as much as the sites themselves. He was a careful driver, very considerate of us and everyone on the road around us. He helped us to get to know Greece and appreciate the warmth and hospitality of its people. While not a licensed guide, his insights at Napflion helped us know both the medieval site and the modern town. Throughout our time with him, Yannis added a number of little touches to our trip that made it feel very personal to us. We also strongly recommend visiting Greece in November. We were fortunate to enjoy a week with no rain, mild temperatures, and virtually no crowds. To be able to stand in the ampitheater at Epidauros, or the throne room at Mycenae, with the unspoilt scenery behind, with not a sound and barely another person to be seen, made the visit so much more rewarding.

    Fantastic Day - Highlight of our trip to Greek Mainland

    We loved our private day trip to Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidauros. The Greek countryside is beautiful and a relaxing change from busy Athens. Our driver Vasilis was informative, enthusiastic and pleasant to be with. He answered our questions and was good at intuiting our interests and reasons for travel, so the day was tailored for us. The time spent at each site was negotiable and so was the location for lunch. The vehicle was quite comfortable and we were provided with cold water and snacks. The day trip was a lovely day to remember and one of the highlights of our vacation.

    Giannis is the Best Tour Guide!

    I traveled to Greece with my parents, husband, and mother-in-law. This was scheduled for the last day prior to leaving back home and this was one of the best tours while in Greece! Giannis (which I hope is the right spelling) picked us up at our hotel in Athens and the long drive to Mycanae, Nafplio and Corinth. The van was well appointed with rain poncho, wet wipes, snacks, maps for each person in the van. Giannis is a great conversationalist, intelligent, with a ton of information about Greece in general. At two of the stops, Epidaurus and Mycenae we had a guide dedicated for these two locations. My favorite (not only seeing the historic sites), but our lunch in Nafplio a gorgeous city and delicious seafood! My mother-in-law even tried octopus for the very first time and loved the taste and texture (which can be difficult with octopus!). The total time of the tour is about 9 hours. The sites can be difficult to navigate (meaning uphills and a ton of steps). The parents all opted out of some part of the tours because of the navigation of steps and uphill. Overall, I highly recommend this tour - all of us really enjoyed the sites and Giannis made this truly a highlighted tour of Greece!

    3 Day Private Car Excursions

    Athens Insiders organizes the tours and excursions for my wife and I during our stay in Athens. The guides were all very knowledgeable, and experienced, immersing us in the culture, mythology and ancient history. We loved our walking tour of Athens, visit to the Acropolis and museums and were impressed by the time each guide was willing to spend answering our questions in detail and giving us a detailed look at all the things that interested us most. Stelios and especially Sissi were spectacular guides in Athens. The highlight of our entire 12 day trip was the 3 days we spent with our private driver and guide Yannis Varouhakis. Yannis stood out to us within the first few hours of our private excursion to the Temple of Poseidon. He conversed in fluent English as though it is a first language and was able to carry on the most interesting discussions on all topics from art, architecture, ancient and modern history, philosophy and politics, etc. He stoped at any location that he thought we would appreciate in harmony with our conversations, places not even included in our original tour itinerary allowing us to dive even deeper into to the different periods of history and culture that we otherwise would have missed. He took us to all the best and coziest family restaurants, helping us order the most traditional as well as adventuresome dishes, even taking us back into the kitchens to make it a truly fabulous culinary experience. It was hard to say good buy to Greece not just because of the magic of history and culture that reside in her coasts and ancient ruins, but also because it was hard to say good buy to our new friend Yannis. We highly recommend both Athens Insiders and especially Yannis Varouhakis for your next trip. We will definitely be coming back!

    Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at €198 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Mythical Argolis,Mycenae,Nafplio & Corinth Canal Day Trip?

    +

    Included: Visit to the archeological site of Epidaurus (May-September); 10-hour private excursion; Coffee or refreshment; Transport by luxury private vehicle (no taxi); and Private services of a specialized ‘Insider’ driver.
