5.00Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She asked questions and tailored our tour based on our responses. Hydra is small, and we’d already been here for 24 hours (and explored quite a bit on our own), but she still took us to places we hadn’t been. She shared interesting history that we would have never known. Highly recommend!
The best Hydra guide

5.00It was better than we thought, we have seen all of this beautiful island and things we didn’t know existed. Our host from the private cruise we came from Glyfada has booked this tour for us as a must do experience before having lunch. Hydra is the ideal place to explore walking and is full of history.
Our tour, Two Hours In Hydra, is not to be missed.
