One time experience :)
Alexandra was our guide and she was very good. She told us so many interesting things about the island and the caves. The journey was with comfortable transport, too. I recommend Avalon Travel.

Wonderful Tour and Brilliant Guide Catherine
Had another wonderful tour with this very helpful and friendly family run tour company. We did one two years ago and they were wonderful and so helpful then and now. Catherine out tour guide this time was absolutely brilliant. She spoke so clearly but not rushed and I was able to take everything in. Such knowledge of Kefalonia and it’s ancient and more modern history. Plus all the traditions, festivals (St Gerasimus day of healing on 15 August), it’s sites, geography and natural beauty and wildlife (such as the turtles!). I would highly recommend this tour company and Catherine our lovely guide. This experience was such a treat. They actually gave us a generous discount because we’d already seen a site before and we couldn’t make the last stop. So accommodating, helpful and friendly 😊

Recommended tour
Getting off the ship we were looking for a tour operator to go for a ride. We accidentally came across Maria who speaks very good Italian. We got to visit the wonders of the island of Kefalonia, Maria is very serious and professional as well as very clear in giving explanations during the journey.

Cannot recommend a better experience!
We loved this tour (Highlights of Kefalonia)! For the price of one adult on the cruise ship excursion our family of 5 got to see all the key highlights of this beautiful island. We were not sure what to do on the island. The day before our cruise ship pulled in we looked on TripAdvisor and found this tour company with glowing reviews. So, we contacted them by email and they did not disappoint. Easy to communicate with and well organized. The tour was fast paced! Recommend bringing some water and snacks. But, well worth it! This tour greatly contributed to Kefalonia being our favorite port (and of course the gorgeous sights!).
