Awesome tour, awesome car, and most importantly, awesome guide. Highly recommend.
This half day tour was great. We were able to see many sites that we may not have gotten to with a big tour bus. We were able to change itinerary with ease. The island is beautiful, if you get car sick be sure to take Dramamine, the roads are very winding! Would highly recommend this tour!
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Kefalonia. Our guide took us to the island's two most spectacular caves — Melissani and Drogarati — and both completely blew us away. Melissani Cave is unlike anything I've ever seen. You take a small boat out across an underground lake, with sunlight pouring through a hole in the cave ceiling and turning the water an electric shade of blue. Absolutely breathtaking. Drogarati was equally impressive — a vast cavern filled with ancient stalactites and stalagmites, with an otherworldly atmosphere you have to experience in person. Between the caves, our guide took us to some of the island's most scenic spots, giving us time to take in the stunning views before dropping us off for a lovely lunch. The whole day flowed really well and felt like a proper introduction to everything Kefalonia has to offer. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island — whether you're a first-timer or a repeat visitor!
This was the most incredible tour! Nick was an amazing tour guide, with a myriad of fascinating information. He drove us to numerous places, and knew when to arrive (& where to park) to beat the tour buses. The Melissani Cave was an unworldly place (quite beautiful), and we loved the Myrtos Beach viewpoint. Assos was a lovely quaint town, where we stopped at a coffee & pastry shop, plus walked down to the water and beautiful scenery. Back at Argostoli, Nick told us where to buy gyros and the famous Kefalonia feta (it was to die for!). This experience was one of the best tours EVER!!!
Our tour guide was amazing! Thank you so much. He made so much effort. I will do all my tours with this guide again.
Dimitris was a fantastic tour guide for us today. He took us to some fantastic spots around the island, lots of photo opportunities and he was more than willing to take family photos for us too. He also shared ots of information about the island and it' history. His communication ahead of the trip was spot on and we enjoyed his company for the time we spent together. Thank you Dimitris for a wonderful trip (one of the best we have had on the Greek Islands and we have done a fair few). 1000% would recommend you!!
This tour was great! We did on first day which was really helpful. Kris was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Very personable. Used audio system on bus so all could hear her well. Mini bus vehicle had easy comfortable seats. Picked up right at our resort and right on time. Caves were great. Assos so pretty, time allotted was great. Only wish offered a trip to Fiskardo as well.
We had a great, customized tour with Kefalonia Tours. Booking and communication with the operator was easy and they were accommodating. On our arrival we found the van clean and comfortable. We toured the most beautiful and interesting parts of the island, staying at each as long as we wanted. The guide managed to avoid the crowds and traffic by adjusting our route and timing. Kefalonia Tours had made a lunch reservation for us at a waterside restaurant in Fiskardo where we could linger, enjoy the views and the breeze. I'd use them again.
very good experience in kefalonia, our tour guide dimitris was very helpful and informative would recommend
Dimitri was our guide and he was excellent! He went out of his way to accommodate our needs as well as gave us several options on the tour to fit our needs and wants. He was very knowledgeable about the history/area, made great recommendations and very polite. Highly recommend him for your guide if you come to Argostoli! Argostoli is beautiful!
