This was a wonderful experience for us. Two people, one driver/guide (Costas) in an air conditioned Mercedes van, which Costas drove with skill and care. We elected to be met at 8am and this helped being ahead of long queues. We not only visited everything listed but had many special surprises. Costas was amazing, kind, knowledgeable and considerate of our needs. He always accompanied us for the sightseeing. We learned so much about the history and way of life on Kefalonia, an island that has many hidden treasures. Costas was born and raised in Kefalonia and he openly shared his passion for this beautiful island.
Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased that you had a wonderful and memorable day. We hope that you will visit us again for more great experiences.
IT was lovely day and very good service and very nice place and very nice people I love these please I'm going back very soon again
Amazing experience! The whole team was very friendly and professional. The whole process run smoothly and hassle free. Definitely recommended!
Thank you kindly for your great review, support and trust! I am happy to learn that our service was up to your expectations! We are looking forward to see you again in one of our plans! Warm regards
This was a fantastic day out. Martin was exceptional. His local knowledge was great. A real asset to the team. Recommend to anyone looking to see a fair part of Kefalonia
We are very glad you had a nice time during your tour. Thank you so much for your great review. Wishing you all the best!
To be honest, we didn't expect much from Kefalonia. It does not have the classic white Greek seaside villas. Just about everything on the island was completely rebuilt after an earthquake in 1953 so there isn't a lot of history to see. Our visit turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. We booked a five hour private tour with Seven Sailing and Tourism Services through Get Your Guide. It was just our two couples in a nice Mercedes van. Our tour guide, Martin, was wonderful. He's actually British, but moved to Argostoli about 20 years ago. He definitely has a love for the beauty, the culture and the history of the island. He took us to a pair of interesting caves which were fun to tour. We stopped in a small village for coffee. We had a wine tasting at a wonderful winery. Just before Martin dropped us off he said there were two more things he wanted to show us and extended our tour a little longer. It was a great way to see the beautiful Greek island.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We hope to see you again !
The cave lake was excellent. We were the first visitors for the season. Martin and his team ensured that what we paid for is what we got even though the season had only started. If you are after an English speaking tour of Kefalonia then look no more, as Martin is a Brit speaking fluent English and Greek. He took us all over the island seeing the top spots, he waited for us as we had a leisurely swim in a beautiful beach spot and took us to an excellent winery for more tastings than you could imagine, plus snacks and liquors as well. A must do with this group.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Hope to see you again!
