“our guide Vivian was fantastic! She shared great information about the history, mythology and art both through the landscape we drove through and to prepare us for what we were about to see. easy to get to the tour bus via metro - very comfortable ride. mycenae was fantastic and the timing felt perfect though we missed the secret sistern. we only got a taste of nafplio.
