We had a fantastic day, we were picked up on time and dropped back were we asked. Olivia was a delight, very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the sites of 2 x caves and a beach stay. Our journey was great fun and being a small party was very nice . I will definitely contact you on our next trip to beautiful Kefalonia. Della and Ray
It was a wonderful mix of sightseeing & beautiful beaches! The private tour made it extra special! It was marvelous!
The Half Day Private Tour Melissani, Drogarati & Myrtos Beach was absolutely phenomenal!!! My husband and I really enjoyed this adventure! Peter was a fabulous guide! He took into consideration our interests, questions and tailored the tour to us! We started with Dragarati cave, he gave us a breif overview of the caves history and then let us explore! The line was not bad and we got in rather quickly! We explored and got all of our pictures and when we were done he encouraged us to also check out the little shop to ensure we took full advantage! After I picked out a few.....souvenirs 😅 we headed off to the next stop! We then went to Melissani cave and thank goodness it was still fairly early so the line wasn't to bad. We were told by multiple locals to get there earlier in the day, especially before the cruise ships arrive or you will be waiting in line for a while. We waited 45 min which compared to what we'd heard from others was actually pretty quick, but they also have a little shop with gifts, beverages, food, snacks etc so we just grabbed some Somersby and enjoyed a cool beverage while waiting in line 😘 The wait was absolutely worth it!! The cave is pure magic!! Peter also made sure to keep checking on us in line to make sure we were ok with waiting still. Very attentive 🖤 Next because we loved the caves sooo much he also detoured from the main path and took us to a cave the locals frequent that you can actually SWIM in!! Unlike Melissani! We also showed interest in the local flora and he happily showed us certain local plants that produce fruits you can locate and eat! We tried a cactus fruit, wild blackberries, and even Carob! Which had a little bit of a chocolate taste! We then had an incredible picnic lunch at the acropolis in Sami, I had asked about it and he said we could go there! So of course we agreed! We got to walk the ruins as he explained the history of them how to locate the ancient building materials vs the newer aged slabs. We ate Rigonada for lunch and a nice crisp glass or Rose! We took some photos with the view in the background and then off to our final stop! We didn't have time for Myrtos which was totally fine as he still took us to a lovely beach (Antisamos i believe) a little closer to our current location where we enjoyed a nice swim with a cocktail before he took us back to our hotel! Peter was so amazing! He was so full of knowledge and knew the islands history so well, he showed us the wonder of his home and shared the culture with us!! We couldn't have asked for a better more magical experience or guide and we are truly grateful!! 🥰🖤 Untill next time! Efharisto!!!
This experience was so silly. Nothing was included. Meaning you still had to pay all entrance fees You’re basically paying for the driver approximately 100€ per hour. Driver was nice but certainly not worth 490€.
Overall, the tour was well organized and the time management was really very good. We did not have to wait long at either the Melissani or the Drogarati cave. Shortly after us, very long queues formed in each case, so the timing was definitely successful. Our driver was also very friendly and pleasant. However, the meeting point was somewhat unclear. In the description, only the harbor was specified as the meeting point. Before the tour, we did receive an additional location via Google Maps, but even there it was not entirely clear exactly where we should wait. A more precise description of the meeting point would have been helpful here. Furthermore, one should know that the entrance tickets for the Melissani and Drogarati caves are not included in the tour price and must be paid for separately. Thus, with the booked price, one is mainly paying for the transport between the individual stops. Unfortunately, we only visited Myrtos Beach, even though two beaches were listed in the description. We found that disappointing, as we booked and paid for the tour with all the listed stops. If a program item does not take place, this should at least be communicated in advance.
We had an amazing time on our tour with Allan! He was incredibly nice and completely tailored the day to focus exactly on the things we wanted to see and do. Allan is highly knowledgeable about Kefalonia and shared so many fascinating insights and stories about the island throughout the day. If you want a personalised, informative, and stress-free experience, we highly recommend booking a tour with him!
We took this fabulous tour this morning and it was Amazing!! Mike was a WONDERFUL tour guide and the next time we come we will book again. Truly excellent. He is so knowledgable and made it the best part of our trip so far! We are certainly glad we booked this tour and had Mike as our tour guide! We came from NY and didnt know where to book and I can HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thanks Mike!! and Olivia for answering all of the questions before our trip!
We had Peter as our Driver. From the offset he was polite smiley and informative. He knew a lot about his island and encouraged us to ask questions even happy to extend the amount of time we had on the tour. The tour itself was stunning, Catalonia is a beautiful island and although we were there for only five days, this was such a good last-minute idea to take the tour. What I loved was visiting caves that only took 20 minutes to visit as sometimes this can be an arduous task in the heat. Enough time to see the beauty of these caves and then off to the beach. When booking, Olympic Transfers responded immediately with any questions I had answered promptly. Polite and courteous, which is why I wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you very much especially Peter x
Really enjoyed our trip, the driver (Peter) was very friendly & knowledgeable & an excellent driver. Thank you for a very special day.
We had the most fabulous half day tour, with Mike as our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the island and nothing was too much trouble! A private tour is the best way to view this beautiful island
