Great value for the service

Very nice upscale transportation at a great price point! The driver was punctual, professional and listened to our needs and wishes. He was willing and able to alter our plans as desired and offered recommendations when requested that worked to our needs. We were provided with great service during our day on this beautiful island!

Great Private tour! Our Driver was Fantastic & took us to all the best spots of interest, even when it down poured at one stage he was still determined in getting me a Fantastic photo shot of the Amazing view over the mountains & went out of his way to get me into Melissani Lake to get into the natural Cave which was Absolutely stunning!! We really can’t Thank the guide enough for a fun filled Amazing Day, he really did go out of his way to look after both myself & my 81 year old Mother! We had the best day & build great memories. Many, Many Thanks!

Amazing experience!

One of the things that we love to do on holiday is take a day 'Private Tour' to see around the Island hot spots. Melissani lake is a unique experience every visitor should try. We spend our day swimming at Myrtos beach & after we had lunch at Fiskardo. Charis is a very good driver, polite and with good knowledge of the island! A truly relaxing & memorable day!

A day to remember!

This was the first time to visit Kefalonia Island. We have chosen the road to Antisamos tour. Charis picked us up from our hotel at the agreed time in a nice comfortable minivan. He kept us fully informed throughout the tour and always answered our questions with the correct information. Thanks Charis, for a great experience and a day to remember.
