Best experience because of our excellent tour guide! Much better than expected, a very nice, interesting and knowledgeable person
Thank you, we appreciate your feedback and nice comments and we are very pleased that you had such a great experience. We hope to see you again in the future.
I can’t tell you how much my family and I enjoyed this trip. Our guide, Maria, was awesome and very informative. She took us to the Melissani Cave, the best scenic spots to take pictures and then to a beach that was nothing we have ever seen before. We didn’t get to see the other cave due to how packed it was but we didn’t care because we wanted to spend the time in the water at the beautiful beach. I would recommend this private trip to anyone who wants to see other spots than what the shuttles take you to.
Thank you for your feedback, such lovely comments. We are so pleased that you had such a wonderful tour and experienced some of the highlights of Kefalonia. We hope to see you again in the future for more adventures.
This was an awesome trip. The beach they took us too was just amazing. We could not get over the color of the water. The scenic spots we stopped at were beautiful. The cave with the Blue water was out of this world. My family and I would recommend this trip to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we are delighted that you and your family had such a wonderful day and look forward to seeing you again if you return to Kefalonia.
Unfortunately my daughter and I missed 2 hours of the tour we paid for because the email confirmations we received NEVER INDICATED WHAT TIME THE TOUR BEGAN! We NEEDED to know the specific TIME we were being met in order for our ship to give us a specific TIME TO BOARD THE TENDER from the ship to the shore! We could not use our cell phones or email/text while onboard the ship so the evening before arrival we spoke to a Guest Services representative onboard our NCL Epic ship for assistance. He called Viator but they did not have the time we were to meet our tour. Then they told our Guest Services Representative to call them back on WhatsApp - and hung up! When Guest Services tried calling Viator on their personal cell phone, no one at Viator answered! Therefore, SINCE WE DID NOT PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF A SPECIFIC TOUR TIME -- we were placed on Tender Number 13 - which was the next available time. This meant THAT WE MISSED THE FIRST 2 HOURS OF OUR TOUR AND KEPT OUR TOUR GUIDE WAITING ON SHORE, NOT KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS! Once we met up with our Tour Guide, and explained the problem, she was very gratious and did her very best to insure that we saw as much as possible in the remaining time left. It made no sense that a meeting time was not listed on the booking documents! We are now requesting a refund of the 2 hours my daughter and I missed of our tour due to Viator not proviing a time on the paperwork that we could have given to the ship to which would have allowed us to take an earlier tender off the ship that morning. I am a repeat customer, having booked several expensive tours through Viator for myself and family over the last 3 or 4 years and know this is not typically the way they do business. Please contact me to discuss: Sharon T. Ciaramitaro and Marcella Mando 6955 Thompson Lane White Lake, MI 48383 (248) 875-3310 sharonciara@comcast.net
Hello Sharon, I hope you are well. If you see our messages history we had sent you a message that your guide will wait for you at 10.00am. Please check attachment. She waited for you for two hours. Despite that and in sign of good willing and good faith and not be unhappy we will authorize a 20% refund. We understand that when 5000 people trying get ashore by tenders there might be a significant delay kind regards
We had the most wonderful day with Bouchra! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease. As a local, she knew all the hidden gems—Argostoli, the amazing caves, serene lakes, and stunning beaches—and showed us everything at the perfect pace. She shared stories, tips, and laughter along the way, making the whole experience feel personal and special. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re visiting Greece, Bouchra is an absolute must!
Thank you for your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated, we are so pleased that you had such a wonderful and unique experience. Please come back in the future to explore some more.
Our guide Bouchra was simply outstanding! She made our experience in Greece unforgettable. As a local, she knew exactly what was worth seeing and managed the timing perfectly so we could enjoy everything without feeling rushed. From Argostoli to the caves, the lakes, and the breathtaking beaches, she showed us the very best of the area with passion and knowledge. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting—an excellent guide and truly a wonderful person!
Thank you for this amazing feedback, your comments are very much appreciated. We are also very pleased that you were able to really enjoy and experience some of the hidden gems of our island at a pleasant pace to ensure this was a unique and memorable day. We hope to see you again in the future.
