We have had the best experience start to end. We were met at the port within seconds of getting off the ship. Tas had already reached out the day before to confirm details and share his contact information. The tour was brilliant with loads of information and chance to take some amazing photos. The food stop was also great with lovely fresh food enroute back. Tas really was the best guide and we would highly recommend booking this tour!
Incredible experience!! Would highly recommend!! Our tour guide Taz, and our driver were amazing! We made our way over from Samos and were greeted at the harbour by Taz, and then swiftly picked up by our driver. We discussed our itinerary, and completed everything we wanted to see. Taz was very knowledgeable, explaining the history of everything we visited in detail. This was definitely the highlight of our holiday!!
Gigi our guide was excellent and very informative. The tour was with a small group and the bus was clean and with ac.. Tour was very well organised. Lunch was very good. Highly recommended .

Gigi was a fantastic guide. Knowledge, friendly and approachable.
Our tour guide Taz is the best and so was our driver, Boss. Taz was waiting for us when we got out of the port. He was very detailed and extremely knowledgeable. We were not rushed at all and we felt we spent enough time at each sight. We skipped all the lines. Book this tour, you will not be disappointed!
We had a wonderful experience. Our guide Tas was very knowledgeable and personable. He made the tour exciting and interesting.
