We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Hydra walking tour! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Such a fun tour with beautiful sites. Got to see so much of the island and learn about the history and everyday life. Would highly recommend
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation! We're so glad you enjoyed your time with us during your Hydra tour, and found the experience both enjoyable and informative.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She asked questions and tailored our tour based on our responses. Hydra is small, and we’d already been here for 24 hours (and explored quite a bit on our own), but she still took us to places we hadn’t been. She shared interesting history that we would have never known. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Rebecca! We’re very happy to hear that your guide made your experience in Hydra so personal and insightful, and that you were able to discover new places and stories during your tour.
Antigone is the tops. The best ever. Engaging, informative and friendly
Thank you for the special feedback! We completely agree, Antigone truly is one of our very best guides, and we’re so happy to hear she made your experience so memorable.
It was better than we thought, we have seen all of this beautiful island and things we didn’t know existed. Our host from the private cruise we came from Glyfada has booked this tour for us as a must do experience before having lunch. Hydra is the ideal place to explore walking and is full of history.
We’re so happy to hear the tour exceeded your expectations! It’s wonderful that your hosts in Glyfada recommended us. Hydra truly is a special place for history and walking, and we’re glad we could show you the hidden gems of the island before your lunch. Thank you for joining us!
This was a great guided tour led by Antigone. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Hydra and made very interesting for us. We highly recommend this tour and this tour guide.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re thrilled that our guide helped make your time in Hydra both engaging and memorable, and we greatly appreciate your recommendation!
