We took the island bus tour and everything was perfectly organized. Melissani Lake was absolutely extraordinary—a stunning highlight of the trip! Our guides, Nikos and Valentin, were amazing, professional, and very knowledgeable. They also gave us great local recommendations. Highly recommend this agency in Kefalonia!"
Difficult to rate this trip. The guide was great and very informative. The stops where ok, with the restaurant in Agia Efimia being excellent. But there is far too much time on the coach. Especially one with very ineffective air con. We sweated buckets. So, the guide would get 5 with the trip getting 2. Final score 3
Excellent tour and excellent guide-Elvia. I found the information from our guide was fantastic. We had more than enough time at each stop to take in the views. Very informative host. Driver was also very good.
We booked the Kefalonian Adventure on the spur of the moment whilst in Ketelios. The cost was €37.50each. Booking was simple. We were picked up on time and taken to Agostoli where we picked up the coach. We took the ferry to lixouri and then used the coach. Our tour guide was a Dutch lady called Elvira. She was great and full of information. The day took in a monastery, wine tasting,cave visit plus lunch (tou pay for lunch) We got back to our base some 8 hours later. A real fun packed day,thoroughly enjoyable experience. Well worth it and highly recommended.
Organisation was great from pick up to drop off and Elvira the guide and Denis the driver were great, ensuring everyone was comfortable etc. The trip itself is really worth it - slightly different to lots of the standard ones, ferry to Lixouri, visiting 2 monasteries, Agia Effimia harbour, wine tasting along with stops for taking pics at some spectacular scenery including beaches. Definitely worth booking.
Excursion cancelled .Too bad too few participants....and Monastery was closed that day she told. Didn't happen!!
The excursion Kefalonia adventure gives you a nice impression of the island. The coastal region is really beautiful. During the excursion a detailed explanation by the tour guide. Really a super day and highly recommended.
Great taster of Kefalonia. Beautiful scenery, comfortable coach, very friendly driver. Our guide Elvira was lovely and very informative. Very well organised. Would definitely recommend.
We went on the kefalonia Adventures tour with kcg tours, and we had a really enjoyable day out. The excurtion was very well run, and the English speaking guide was excellent. She was very informative, and she took really good care of all the passengers. The coach was really comfortable, and the driver was excellent . We felt in very safe hands even though some of the roads were challenging. The tour was well worth the money, and we saw a lot of beautiful kefalonia. Would use this company again and would highly recommend it. Thanks for a lovely day out.
Did the kefalonian Adventures trip. Booked with Faye who was lovely and very informative about the trip. The bus driver Alan was a good driver and we felt safe on some pretty steep bendy roads. Elvira the tour guide was very good and gave us loads of information. It was 10 euros to go into the caves but well worth it. All in all an excellent trip so if you thinking of booking do it. Thank you KCG I wouldn't hesitate to use you again.
