Lovely! - Everything was lovely! Our driver Anthony was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. His recommendations were right on point to manage time perfectly. We were in Greece for only 2 days, chose this as our first tour and greatly enjoyed it! Thanks Crispy Local team.

Amazing Peloponnesian experience - This trip was amazing! We were excited to see the Peloponnesian area and this trip was the perfect choice. The theater and ancient baths at Epidauris were amazing as was Mycenea where the castle/fortress and views were incredible. And Nafplio was a beautiful town, I wish we'd had more time there (and lunch was fabulous!) Melina was a fantastic guide she was so incredibly knowledgeable about both the history of Greece as well as all the locations we visited. She ensured we all had as much information as we desired. When we were on our own, inside the ruins, sites, etc, she gave us very detailed instructions on what to look for. We learned so much about Greek history as well as some of the mythology. She was a pleasure to spend the day with!

Worthy hike to Corinth Canal, Mycaena, Epidaurus and Nafplio - Driver Anthony picked us from hotel entrance (albeit 1 hour earlier by mistake but kindly offered to return later) and drove north out of Athens’ morning jam. Along the way he pointed out places of interest and explained the timeline of Ancient Greek history. Our first stop was to view the amazing Corinth Canal completed in 1893. The 6.4 km man-made canal had steep sides with clear green blue water joining the Ionian and Aegean Seas. Next was the hike up the steep Mycaena acropolis with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby bee hive tomb (Treasury of Atreus - someone in another tour group sang a spine chilling Hallelujah inside). Then on to the 13000+ seater Epidaurus Theatre (another climb!) and the extensive archaeological site of the Sanctuary of Asclepius. Enroute to Nafplio, Anthony dropped us off at a local Farmers Market (very enjoyable bonus!) as I had earlier voiced an interest in the local orchards we drove past. Lunched at a seafood tavern and ate gelato wandering around the picturesque Nafplio with its fortress, seafront and quaint buildings.
