Very expensive ride

Do not book this unless you have no means of transportation to the caves. Just drive there. The roads are great in Kefalonia. The English guide is already provided by the paid admission to the caves. You are only paying Excursions for the ride to the caves on a bus. My reservation also said 9 AM and they changed it the night before to 12:40 PM for pickup. This did not work for us due to evening plans and we canceled. They refused to refund us. I drove to the caves myself and saw everything just with the fees at the caves.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. However, we would like to clarify a few important points for future guests. This particular excursion is designed mainly for cruise ship passengers who may not have access to transportation while visiting the island for only a few hours. The tour includes organized transfers, scheduling, and coordination to ensure guests return to port on time and enjoy a stress-free experience. We always inform guests at least 24 hours prior to the excursion regarding pickup times and any scheduling adjustments. Unfortunately, cruise ship arrival times and operational logistics can occasionally require changes beyond our control. We also find it unfair to make assumptions about the value of the excursion experience when you did not actually participate in the tour with us. While it is certainly possible to rent a car and visit the caves independently, many guests specifically choose our service for the convenience, organization, local assistance, and transportation provided. We appreciate your opinion and are glad you still enjoyed visiting the caves and exploring Kefalonia.
