This tour involves moderate walking over uneven, ancient terrain (particularly at Mycenae and Epidaurus) and there are gentle uphills. It may be strenuous for people with severe mobility issues due to the lack of continuous handrails, uneven ancient stones, and exposure to the sun .While we set a relaxed pace tailored to your group, guests should be comfortable navigating some inclines and cobblestone paths. Unfortunately, the ancient ruins are not fully wheelchair accessible.

What travelers say about our tours

Our driver, George, was personable and knowledgeable. He was not, however, a certified guide, so could not accompany us beyond entrance gates for Mycenae or Epidaurus.
