VR audio day trip from Athens to Mycenae, Epidaurus theatre, and Nafplio, with pickup, air-conditioned comfort, and a Corinth Canal stop.

“We are fast travelers, and we understand the need for efficiency and a fast pace on this trip to fit everything in.. However even for us things were extremely rushed even by running through everything. Especially considering we got back to Athens almost 1.5 hours earlier than planned. 90 minutes would have been perfect for Mycanea, but we had only 70. Nafplio could have used 30 more minutes to make it two hours for a decent experience. Our guide on the bus was great and the itinerary was not his fault, but I implore the company to utilize the time better and add 40-50 minutes total to these two stops…”
