We had an amazing day with Dimitris. He picked us up from exactly where we had planned at the time we had planned and then whisked us off to see all the fabulous sights of the island. He consulted us at every step about what we did or did not want to see and advised in the order. Using his local information to know when the best time to view certain things were to avoid large queues. During the journeys to and from places he would give us a run down on the history of the places and fascinating facts - he seems to know absolutely everything there is to know about the island even dealing with my youngest’s random questions with ease. He is also quite the photographer and will take as many photos of you in the beautiful scenic locations as needed. Plenty of ice cold water available which was super appreciated after walking in the heat for a while. He even recommended places to eat and we were not disappointed. Unfortunately our youngest became car sick during the journey (Not Dimitiris fault she’s just fell victim to Kefalonias roads) but Dimitiris handled this well. Seating her up front with plenty of air con and taking the roads carefully. Honestly a fantastic day was had by all of us both old and young. Would hire Dimitris again in a heartbeat.
Very enjoyable and knowledgeable driver. Panos made the Kefalonian experience worth while. We were able to see the different hidden gems of the island, and this entire tour I would highly recommend.
We had the best day out yesterday with Dimitris, we saw everything we wanted to in a full day tour, nothing was too much trouble and he tailor made the whole day to suit our needs. Dimitris was very friendly and knowledgeable telling us all about the island and took us to a beautiful beach to swim which we would never have known about without him. We saw all the best bits with no hasstle and at our own time and pace. He recommended a lovely restaurant for lunch where we had a table right on the sea edge with lovely food and great value. Nothing was too much trouble and if you want to see the island best bits in one day without getting on a huge coach with lots of other tourists then book this! Worth every penny!
Excellent day tour of the island. The driver Panios was able to adapt parts of the tour to fit in with our needs. Great attention to details. Would highly recommend. We had an amazing day and would use again
We had a fabulous day with our Guide Dimitri. Highly recommend this full day tour. We saw the sights and highlights of the island plus had an incredible lunch and time to swim. Dimitri gave us history and insights to the island all while making sure the day was tailored to what we wanted to see and do. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!
Our experience was amazing we had a fantastic day visit the island
Lack of clarity on booking meant that we had to pay extra to be picked up from Fiskardo, despite entering our address. Expected our identified places to visit might have been included in the price (Melissani & Drogerati caves). They were not expensive but be aware you are only paying for the driver! However, a great way to learn more about the island with a local and to be able to actually take in the scenery (as otherwise I am the driver). Panos made excellent suggestions but was flexible, and we visited places we would not have known about. St Gerasimos monastery is a must. Olive oil tasting was also a highlight. Overall
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing Kefalonia Tours. We're delighted to hear that, even though you had already explored much of Kefalonia on your own, we were still able to make your day enjoyable and memorable. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed Panos' company, the visit to the Monastery of Saint Gerasimos, and the olive oil tasting. These are experiences that many visitors would never discover without a local guide, and we're glad we could arrange them for you, even at such short notice. Just to clarify a couple of points for anyone reading your review, the entrance fees for Melissani Lake and Drogarati Cave are clearly stated as not included in the tour price, both on our website and in the booking confirmation. We keep them separate so that our guests only pay for the attractions they choose to visit. Regarding your pick-up, we don't normally offer tours starting from Fiskardo, especially at the price of your booking, as it involves a significant additional journey across the island. However, we were happy to make an exception and arrange your pick-up for a small supplement, as we wanted you to enjoy the experience without having to travel elsewhere to meet us. Thank you once again for your kind words and for highlighting our local knowledge and flexibility. It means a great deal to us that we were able to show you a different side of Kefalonia and help make your holiday even more special. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to our beautiful island in the future! Warm regards, The Kefalonia Tours Team
Very Nice tour to all the important Sports of the Island; stoping and changing the itinerary of we wanted, very flexível tour.
Our guide was knowledgeable and made the day informative and very special. We had a choice to see all the main sights. His advice to start first/early at the lake was spot on. We missed the long queues by getting there at 09.30am. Kefalonia is so beautiful and we were keen to enjoy the Island. We were picked up and dropped off at the Cruise terminal. Easy no worries about being late. Our guide, Dimitris, took photos of us together. Much better than a selfie. We learnt lots and so enjoyed the day and the Island. Want to come again.
We spent a wonderful day with Dimitris, who showed us not only the well-known sights but also lovely unknown places. We were able to customize the tour to our own preferences, and Dimitris took great photos of us. Small tip: Don't start too late and possibly skip something; otherwise, the tour schedule is very ambitious.
