5.00Guide Katerina was waiting for us right outside the terminal. Not a very large group…just right! She was extremely informative about the island and its history and culture. Very attentive making sure we were all doing good and enjoying ourselves. She was one of the nicest guides we had on our trip. Bus driver was excellent too. Highly recommend!

3.00The lines were too long. Tour guide should have timed our arrival. Both caves are not very big. Tor guide could have been better.
Absolutely devastating, we waited for this tour that no one heard of. Don’t turn up

1.00We waited for two hours for this tour of the ship and bus didn’t turn up. We were devastating, later finding out they changed the meeting time 24 hours before and we didn’t have internet to our email. And didn’t know. And when we demanded a refund. They said no. We are so furious.
Argostoli Caves…. a must see

5.00Katerina was an our awesome guide. Very knowledgeable and gave us so much information about this wonderful Greek port.. Unfortunately, we did not get to visit our second cave location due to crowds. But overall, we enjoyed the tour and love the Drogarati caves.

5.00We had the BEST experience. Our tour guide was Katarina. Not only did she bring us to and from each location with optimal time, she was so, SO knowledgeable. I felt like she took us through time and gave us a great foundation on the town and its history. I’d highly recommend booking this tour if you’d like an informative, engaging experience! Not to mention the beauty of the Melissani Cave was breathtaking. We are grateful for our experience!
