We took this fabulous tour this morning and it was Amazing!! Mike was a WONDERFUL tour guide and the next time we come we will book again. Truly excellent. He is so knowledgable and made it the best part of our trip so far! We are certainly glad we booked this tour and had Mike as our tour guide! We came from NY and didnt know where to book and I can HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thanks Mike!! and Olivia for answering all of the questions before our trip!
We had Peter as our Driver. From the offset he was polite smiley and informative. He knew a lot about his island and encouraged us to ask questions even happy to extend the amount of time we had on the tour. The tour itself was stunning, Catalonia is a beautiful island and although we were there for only five days, this was such a good last-minute idea to take the tour. What I loved was visiting caves that only took 20 minutes to visit as sometimes this can be an arduous task in the heat. Enough time to see the beauty of these caves and then off to the beach. When booking, Olympic Transfers responded immediately with any questions I had answered promptly. Polite and courteous, which is why I wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you very much especially Peter x
Really enjoyed our trip, the driver (Peter) was very friendly & knowledgeable & an excellent driver. Thank you for a very special day.
We had the most fabulous half day tour, with Mike as our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the island and nothing was too much trouble! A private tour is the best way to view this beautiful island
Just back from the BEST private tour, kids and teens alike all had the most wonderful time! The stops on the tour were well planned (with a couple of extra visits to little Kefalonian gems due to no queues at the tourist attractions!), Mike was the most friendly and interesting driver / tour guide (so informative about the island, it was very interesting even on the drive between stops!), the packed picnic was just delicious. Cannot recommend this highly enough, Olivia and the team are experts!
We had a wonderful day and for sure I highly recommend Olympic Transfer Kefalonian Tours! We had a delicious meal and wine during the day!
We came here by cruise in Nov. 2025. Had a great experience on our local tour with Olivia of Olympic Transfer Kefalonian. She is very professional in her job and supper friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommended!
Olivia was absolutely fantastic. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. She took us to all the tour attractions early to avoid the busses from the cruise ships. Had time to explore a local fishing village with no crowds, and had a private lunch at the #5 beach in the world with local wine and delicious bruschetta. Highly recommend, be sure to request Olivia!!
The trip was spectacular and our guide, Olivia, was absolutely awesome: very hospitable, a great driver, and very patient when we waited in line to see St. Gerasimos and his cave! 🤩 ♥️💕
Highly recommend this tour. It featured the highlights of Kefalonia. Antisamos beach was by far my favourite. Our guide Olivia was fun, knowledgeable and really flexible. Even the lunch prepared for us was grown locally and tasted amazing!
