Andreas was a fantastic driver and guide all day. He was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable of Kefalonia. The views around Kefalonia e.g. Myrtos Beach or the Melissani Cave just has to be seen. Both are short stops, but they don't require a long time. Lunch and the beach swim was amazing. We went to Agios Thomas Beach. And finished at a family run winery, Gentilini winery and vineyard. It was a great day, that I would recommend to others. 😁

Perfect day in Kefalonia

ann_n, Nov 2023

Nikos created a perfect experience for us! His knowledge of the area was unmatched and he shared personal experiences with each area we visited. We highly recommend him for your day in Kefalonia.

Andreas-what a superstar!

Nandani_J, Sep 2023

Our tour guide was Andreas, I told him my passion was food and he went out of his way to take us to local restaurants, local pastry shops culminating in the best waffle and ice cream I have ever eaten. We were extremely impressed at his local knowledge and he showed us all the sights with a friendly smile. Even before the tour his boss Nicos rang me twice to confirm details which I thought was very professional. We struck gold with Andreas, such a kind and personable young men, this gentleman is an asset to the company and I believe we have made a friend!Highly recommend this tour company they are the real deal

Josh_M, Sep 2023

Was great, really enjoyed and smooth! The overall day was brilliant, we got to arrange what we wished to do for the day and it was fun.

Amazing experience!!

Marilou_J, Aug 2023

Our tour guide, Jerry, was the best! We will definitely do this again and recommend it to my friends. This is a must if visiting Kefalonia for the first time.

Very enjoyable day out

Gillian_H, Aug 2023

We all enjoyed the trip around Kefalonia very much. Chara was very informative and helpful and took us to some lovely places. My personal favourite was Fiscardo. The fact that it was a private tour with just the four of us added to the enjoyment of the experience

Fiscardo, the caves and...

Tony_A, Aug 2023

Fiscardo, the caves and Antisamos Beach were the highlights of a great day. Jerry was a great driver & host. We would highly recommend this tour.

An amazing day packed with amazing sights

michael_t, Aug 2023

The guide, Chara, was fantastic. We never felt rushed and she was very knowledgeable. The views around asos, the melisanni cave and wine tasting were particularity memorable. The only negative thing was the beach stop was way too busy with no free sunbeds but the food there was excellent.

All in a day!! EXCELLENT!! 100% Recommend!!

Barbara_B, Jul 2023

FANTASTIC tour!! Highly recommend!! We saw all Kefalonias “jewels” that we wanted to see and Cara (not sure on spelling sorry) was amazing, she was informative, friendly, an excellent driver and never made us feel rushed! Felt like VIPs!! Thanks so much!! 😊 A*

The Best

Alejandra_O, Jul 2023

We were impressed with the quality of the service The Mercedes Sprinter was perfect. Jerry the driver was the Best, super friendly and speaks perfect English I would definitely recomend this Tour and Tour Company

Perfect trip to see main points of kefalonia

Gerald_M, Jul 2023

This was a fabulous trip. We were picked up from our hotel in Skala bang on time at 9:30 (as others have said there was a surcharge of 30 euros so was expecting this). Although described as unguided this was far from truth as we were kept informed by our driver Hamas all along route and her knowledge and English language were superb. We cannot rate her highly enough. It was a long day but we basically drove to all the main reference points...fiskardo, assos, mellissiani, dragonati, antisammos, mythos etc virtually right round the island with many photo stops. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Awesome Tour

David_D, Jul 2023

My family and I really enjoyed this tour. We were able to see the entire island making stops at various locations throughout the island. Each of the stops were beautiful with enough time built in to thoroughly enjoy each stop. My teenagers especially loved the swimming locations chosen on the tour. Our driver Costas was awesome and took care of our family every step of the way. He made great suggestions on how to best handle the tour route and letting us know how much time is best at each stop. Our family loved this tour and we are so glad we decided to book the entire day tour. This tour allowed us to see the entire island and Costas providing details about each stop and a history of the island was awesome. Thank you so much for such a wonderful day!!!

Kefalonia in a day

Stephen_G, Jul 2023

From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off a truly magical day our driver costas tended to us like a man on a mission the only down side to the day was the weather breezy/cloudy and a spot of rain seen almost all the whole island and cant argue with that highly recommended

A memorable day in Kefalonia

Jacqueline_K, Jun 2023

We spent a memorable day with our driver, Andreas. He took us to important, interesting, and beautiful sites and punctuated each stop with background information. By the end of the day we were left feeling we had spent a day with family, there is no higher compliment!

Great trip

Pierre_V, Jun 2023

Had a wonderful trip. Learnt a lot about the island. The trip does cover a lot and had flexibility on how much time we wanted to spend at places, so never felt rushed.

Consider no other Kefalonian tour other than this one!

Sarah_F, May 2023

Hands down this was an excellent tour led by Andreas. We travelled as a group of 8 people, and this experience was undoubtedly the highlight of our holiday in Kefalonia. Andreas picked us up from our villa and took us around the whole island, he was funny, knowledgeable and great company. As we were on holiday at the start of the season, be aware some things like the castle will not be open for entry, but regardless it has a phenomenal view from the top. May seems like an excellent time to be there, as there aren't too many people. This was perfect for us as we did not run into any queues when visiting the two caves (Melissani and Drogarati) that required tickets. There was a ticket deal of 10 euros for both cave entries, but this may change later on. This tour covers the whole island and the best places to see, it was a very well-tailored schedule with some room to spend as much or as little time as you like in certain spots. A lot of us particularly loved the church of Agios Gerasimos and Antisamos beach where some of the group swam in the sea. It's hard to pinpoint which is the best part of this tour as all the places are surreal in their own right. Andreas offered us plenty of water on the trip and he also provided towels for us on the beach. The minivan was clean and spacious for us all with air conditioning and a large boot for any bags. After looking at serval tour options beforehand for our Kefalonia journey, our tour with Andreas exceed all expectations and we would definitely book with them again in the future. Thank you to Nikos for keeping us informed of our tour and a big thank you to Andreas, for showing us the beautiful island and making us all laugh.

Best beach and tour day!

Lillian_H, Aug 2022

The island of Kelaphonia is so clean and gorgeous! Costas was a fantastic tour guide and after getting us to the caves ( before the lines😊) we went to Astimos beach and it was so incredible we chose to spend our day there at Acron beach club which was a pleasant surprise for our group of six - quiet and elegant!

Brilliant day out

John_D, Aug 2022

Absolutely brilliant day. Our guide - Nykos was awesome. Although the whole day was planned, there was total flexibility to exclude anything we may not enjoy and provided sensational suggestions instead. No better way to visit Kefalonia. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to cover maximum prime sites in a relaxed and not rushed manner.

Nice day-trip to see everything!

Marayah_v, Aug 2022

Nice private tour, where you can see everything. Kind driver with knowledge about the island. Only sad that we had to pay €30 extra for hotel pick-up. Nobody mentioned it before.
