5.00Lucy(?) our guide was impressively knowledgeable, a good communicator, pleasant & patient. Did excellent job of herding a large group at every stop. Andrei(?) our driver was a first class professional on very difficult mountainous roads. A 9 hour trip has to be good value. Definitely recommend.

The day included wine tasting, visit to an amazing church, Drogati cave, Melissani lake (both an extra charge,which we knew so no surprises) Fiskardo for lunch, Myrtos beach and finished off with olive oil and honey tasting. Its a long day but really well organised. Our tour guide, Maria was brilliant and so much fun.

We learned so much about the Islands history as we drove around, it was all so interesting. You never got bored on the tour, even when on the bus there was always something to look at. The landscapes were just breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

5.00Really enjoyed this trip from the wine tasting to the fantastic views Kefalonia has to offer. Maria, our guide, was fantastic and brought to life the history of the island and the devastation caused by the 1953 earthquake. If going to the Drogarati caves be aware there are over a 130 steps.
Great tour of the island.

5.00Although you spend quite some time on a bus, your take a full tour of the island with plenty of sights and scenery to see on the way. The caves were magnificent, and the tour guide was really good, giving plenty of information on the way and she tried to spend a bit of time and talk to everyone in the group. All together, all though very tiring, a great day and insight to the island
Fabulous sight seeing day!
