What's included in the EUR 1260 price?

The tour includes private transportation, entrance fees to all four archaeological sites (Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nemea, Ancient Corinth), and a professional guide. Hotel pickup/drop-off in Athens is typically included; meals and drinks are not.

How much walking and climbing is involved?

Expect approximately 3–4 hours of walking over the two days, with uneven terrain and some steep sections, particularly at Mycenae (to the palace) and Acrocorinth (citadel). Moderate fitness is recommended; wear sturdy shoes.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Yes, but children should be comfortable with sustained walking and heat. Sites have minimal shade, so bring sun protection and water. The 2-day pace allows rest stops; ages 8+ typically manage well.

Can I visit these sites independently instead?

Yes, but a private guide adds crucial context—Linear B inscriptions, architectural details, and mythological connections make far more sense explained on-site. Public transport between Argolis sites is limited; private tours save logistical hassle.

Sturdy walking boots, sun hat, sunscreen, reusable water bottle, light layers (sites can be windy), and a light bag. Camera is essential. Comfortable clothes for Nafplio's town stroll are helpful.

How does a private tour differ from a group tour?

Private tours offer flexible scheduling, personalised pacing, direct access to your guide for questions, and no waiting for other groups. You control start times and can linger at sites of greatest interest.
