    Excellent fun day! Highly recommend this experience. If you have back problems wouldn’t recommend as it can get a little rough but great fun. Unfortunately the cave was closed for maintenance but this didn’t ruin the day as they had an alternative activity that was good fun. Great way to see hidden gems

    The means of transport from the start, Land rover, already gives the "adventure" side (kids love it). This is a real game changer compared to large bus groups. It is the fact of being in a small group (8) that is very valuable, for interaction with others and with the guide. The excursion and stops in small villages, small fun activities are a real treat for the eyes, taste buds and curiosity. The explanations about the still current way of life of the ridge "in its juice" allows to be teleported to places out of time, in beautiful landscapes and especially out of mass tourism. We want to stay there for the authentic and rejuvenating side. The tastings are very nice, especially the raiki in the morning at the farm (good products to bring back) My most beautiful experience as well as for my children during this ridge stay. Thanks to the Yacer guide for his explanations and his ability to involve Everyone 🌞

    Very interesting and also lively tour. Multilingually run and still Mega well done. Many impressions could be gathered. Local crafts could be looked at and also taken away. No sales trip!!! If you liked something, you could inform yourself and buy it. But then at least you knew who was receiving the money. We can only recommend!

  • A splendid Island tour

    A fantastic day out. Saw lots of the island and our guide,Andreas, was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The views once we were up in the mountains were spectacular and we were given a lot of information. We stopped for lunch which was absolutely delicious and we were also shown how to make Tzakiki and the ingredients used for stuffing peppers and tomatoes. A really enjoyable day out full of laughter.
