Great opportunity to learn more about Ancient Greece

We would definitely recommend this trip if you are interested in learning more about the ancient civilisations of Greece and seeing some amazing views - especially in Mycenae and Nafplion. Our tour driver, George was friendly and knowledgeable throughout the drive and recommended a great gelato shop in Nafplion and showed us multiple great photo opportunities!

Greek History Tour

We had such a great experience with Kosta. He took us everywhere we wanted to go, stopped for photo opportunities when we wanted him to and told us about everything we saw on the way. It was a full day, about 11 hours, but well worth it. A full day of Greek history, beautiful ruins, and scenery. Stopped for lunch by the seaside with great food and views. It was a great trip and would recommend Enjoy Greek Tours to anyone. And the price is very reasonable. Thank you again Kosta.

Enjoy Greece Tours - Great Experience!

visited Athens and booked three last minute tours with 'Enjoy Greece Tours ' after arrival. They were so patient and prompt answering all questions. My awesome KOSTADINOS, GEORGE, tour Specialist provided spectacular tours to Cape Sounio and Poseidon and a full-day tour to Athens-corinth canal-ancient Corinth-acrocorinth-mycenae-nafplion-epidaurus-athens. I finished my last day with another great tour guide, John, who took me to visit all the remaining sites in Athens. I would not have seen half the sites with such convenience, had I not used this agencies services. It is not too pricey for the services offered and well worth it to be shuttled to every site, especially in the heat. They will keep you hydrated with water and provide an umbrella if needed. The tour Specialists provided a wealth of information about every site/city. The restaurant and snack stops were awesome. They will Taylor the tours to your request and they will make invaluable recommendations based on their knowledge of the sites. I highly recommend you book your tours with them. You will be glad you did.
