The excursion was very good. The transportation was very comfortable, the driver was very friendly, and our guide George Panagos explained everything very well and entertainingly. Everything was perfect. I mention this because I went with my 10-year-old daughter, and she can be very distracted, but she was very attentive with him and understood everything. The only downside I have is that I booked the package with meals included, and the restaurant had terrible service: they ignored us for 30 minutes; and the food was average. Waiting so long leaves you with very little time to explore the area. But regarding everything else, it was excellent. The journey did not feel long because there are several descents and beautiful views.
We loved the tour. The guide George C Panagos has made it very enjoyable, hooked by the way to tell you the story and explain the Museum of Miscenas.... we loved it. We ate very well in Nafplion's restaurant; pastitsio and a delicious meat. The driver Teodoro very nice and the bus clean and modern. Highly recommended
