Private tour at Ithaca with tour guide
We booked a private tour. The organiser picked us from our accommodation and make sure that all run smoothly. In addition to the driver a complimentary tour guide and her daughter, a trainee tour guide, accompanied us for the day. Having a tour guide provided more depth and better understanding of ancient and modern Ithaca.
We were a party of 9 from ages 10 - 70 and it was a little something for everyone to enjoy.
Operator response
Great news, thank you so much for the feedback, we are so pleased that you all had a good day. Hope to see you soon.

Full day in Kafalonia
I cannot recommend this company/tour enough!! I'm just back from my first ever trip to Kefalonia and as a solo traveller I decided a guided tour was the best option for me - The Kefalonia North tour was incredible and a perfect way to explore some of the beauty the island has to offer without having to worry about renting a car or finding your own way. The tour guide Costa was excellent and shared his passion and love for the island through her commentary on the van, but not so much so that it distracted from enjoying the scenery. he also offered some great recommendations for how to make the most of the places visited and couldn't do enough to help people out.
Also a big thanks to him
for his expert navigation of the mountainous roads, which I personally would never have wanted to attempt!
You won't regret joining one of these tours.
Booking process was simple online and the company were also easily contactable and responsive by email.
