Memi was our tour guide. She was great and very nice and most of the things that were not great were out of her control. The caves are beautiful and well worth seeing. But the vast majority of the tour was driving or standing in line. For us, the day was not great. The island was very busy and we had to wait in line in the sweltering sun for nearly 2 hours for the 10 minute boat trip into the cave. It was a great 10 minutes but with the travel times and waiting, we never made it to the wine tasting. Also, out of all the tour guide operating companies I dealt with in through Viator while Greece, this one was by far the worst for communication. We were standing outside the terminal right in front of the group and didn’t realize it because I was never told what to look for. The name of the company on the sign she was holding did not match the name of the company on the booking details. I was never told who to look for. Thankfully I did receive a message as I was waiting that was able to direct me to the guide but could have been a lot easier if I had known ahead of time exactly what to look for. Also, it was a very hot day. The AC on the bus was practically nonexistent. It was on, but it wasn’t working very well. The island of Kefalonia was my favorite island we visited on our cruise, but this was not my favorite day. I think this company has some logistical challenges they need to work on.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the caves and that Memi made a positive impression. We will certainly pass along your kind words to her. We are sorry that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Unfortunately, on the day of your visit, three cruise ships arrived simultaneously, creating exceptionally high visitor volumes across the island. While we do our best to manage schedules and minimize waiting times, some delays at popular attractions are beyond our control, particularly during peak cruise days. We also appreciate your comments regarding communication. We understand how frustrating it can be to have difficulty locating your group, and we will review our pre-tour instructions to ensure meeting point details and company identification are communicated more clearly in the future. Regarding the wine tasting, the extended wait times at the cave unfortunately impacted the day's schedule. We understand your disappointment and regret that you were unable to enjoy every aspect of the tour as planned. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We are pleased that Kefalonia was your favorite island, and we hope you left with wonderful memories of its natural beauty despite the challenges of a particularly busy day.
We were supposed to have 4 stops on the tour. Because there were 3 cruise ships, one stop took longer than expected and we didn’t get to finish with the wine tasting which is what I wanted out of the tour. The guide and driver did their best and it’s not their fault for the 3 stars. It was just a mess. We didn’t even make it back in time to visit the stores which was disappointing as well.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. As you noted, our guide and driver worked hard to make the most of the day despite unusually high traffic and congestion caused by multiple cruise ships in port. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control affected the timing of some scheduled stops, including the wine tasting experience you were looking forward to. We understand how disappointing it is when an itinerary cannot be completed as planned, and we appreciate your recognition of our team's efforts under challenging conditions. Your feedback is valuable, and we will continue to monitor scheduling and logistics to provide the best possible experience for our guests. Thank you for choosing to tour with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more seamless experience in the future.
We enjoyed this tour very much. We were a group of 8 which was nice because we could move very quickly. Our guide Katrina was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and just a delight to be with.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your group enjoyed the tour. It’s wonderful to know that Katerina made your experience even more memorable with her knowledge and friendly guidance. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure in Kefalonia!
Guide Katerina was waiting for us right outside the terminal. Not a very large group…just right! She was extremely informative about the island and its history and culture. Very attentive making sure we were all doing good and enjoying ourselves. She was one of the nicest guides we had on our trip. Bus driver was excellent too. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Katerina and our driver. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the small group size, found the tour informative, and appreciated Katerina’s attentiveness and warm personality. We’re so glad she helped make your visit memorable. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
Beautiful, but could have been a little longer. The boat portion of the one tour was very short. Overall good
Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the experience overall. Regarding the boat portion at Melissani Lake, it is indeed a short 10-minute ride, as stated in the tour description. This duration is set by the site regulations and is consistent for all visitors. We appreciate your understanding and are glad you found the tour beautiful. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
The lines were too long. Tour guide should have timed our arrival. Both caves are not very big. Tor guide could have been better.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that waiting in line can be frustrating; however, during cruise ship arrivals, it's common for many guests to visit the same popular attractions at the same time, which can lead to longer wait times at the caves. Both the Melissani and Drogarati caves are natural formations, and their size is determined by nature — something we, unfortunately, cannot influence. That said, they remain two of the most iconic and admired sites on the island. We also appreciate your comments regarding the guide and will take them into consideration as we continually strive to improve our services. Thank you again for your input, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another tour in the future.
We waited for two hours for this tour of the ship and bus didn’t turn up. We were devastating, later finding out they changed the meeting time 24 hours before and we didn’t have internet to our email. And didn’t know. And when we demanded a refund. They said no. We are so furious.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet expectations. However, we would like to clarify that we were unable to proceed with the tour as you did not arrive at the designated meeting time. Clear instructions were provided regarding the meeting location at the cruise terminal, where the guide was holding a sign with the tour name and waiting at the scheduled time. We made every effort to accommodate you by waiting longer than anticipated, but ultimately, we had to depart in order to respect the timely arrival of the other group members. Regarding your comment about a time change, we informed all participants of the updated meeting time 24 hours in advance via email. We also have a record of the communication where you confirmed this change. As per our policy, refunds cannot be issued in cases where guests miss the tour due to late arrivals or unforeseen circumstances. We fully understand how frustrating this situation must have been, but we kindly ask for your understanding that reviews should reflect an experience that actually took place. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the future. Kind regards, Kefalonia Sightseeing Team
Katerina was an our awesome guide. Very knowledgeable and gave us so much information about this wonderful Greek port.. Unfortunately, we did not get to visit our second cave location due to crowds. But overall, we enjoyed the tour and love the Drogarati caves.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Katerina made such a positive impression with her knowledge and insights. We’re sorry you couldn’t visit the second cave due to the crowds, but we’re happy to know you enjoyed the Drogarati caves. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable experience! Best regards, The Kefalonia Sightseeing Team
We had the BEST experience. Our tour guide was Katarina. Not only did she bring us to and from each location with optimal time, she was so, SO knowledgeable. I felt like she took us through time and gave us a great foundation on the town and its history. I’d highly recommend booking this tour if you’d like an informative, engaging experience! Not to mention the beauty of the Melissani Cave was breathtaking. We are grateful for our experience!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Katarina made your tour both smooth and unforgettable. Her passion for the region's history truly shines, and it's so heartwarming to know she brought the stories of the town to life for you. And yes, Melissani Cave really is a breathtaking sight! We're grateful you chose to explore with us and we’d be honored to welcome you back any time for more unforgettable adventures.
