Overall rating

3.9 / 5

based on 17 reviews

The bus trip is unexceptional other from the fact it allows easy access to the Palamadi fortress and lion sculpture which are a 30euro taxi with minimal waiting time or steep climb and literally hundreds of steps (fortress) out of the way (lion)

It was a wonderful tour to get an overview of historical Nafplion. The driver was friendly and informative, the open air bus was fun and unique. It was a great value.

The best way to get around the town and not spend a fortune. Definitely worth it for transportation up to the fortress. No way is this lady climbing 90+ stairs!

Great day out with the family to the Palamidi

George was our driver and was wonderful. Just pack hats and sunscreen and loads of water to stay hydrated

Very friendly guide. Palamidi is definitely worth it.
