Great experience

4.00Was a full day experience, worth the money! Irene and Spiros were knowledgeable and friendly. The highlights of it were demeters temple and apollonas kouros, the stop in apollonas seemed a little dragged out but it was on the way to the statue. The bus ac was not the strongest so just keep that in mind! My fiance usually got car sick on the city busses in naxos but Spiros driving was great and she felt fine! Great alternative if you're nervous to drive on small windy roads

Great coverage of the island

4.00This tour basically circumnavigates the island. You spend roughly 4 hours at the various stops and 4 hours riding the bus on very narrow, twisting mountain roads. Our bus driver, Dimitri, was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about each stop as well as various points of interest during the drive. The stops were varied enough that most people will find something of interest. There was definitely a lot of activity packed into an 8 hour tour. The itinerary description provided in the listing is accurate. Several of the stops included stairs, uneven terrain, and moderately steep paths. Sufficient time is allowed for slow walkers to participate. The tour was definitely a good value for the fee charged.
Naxos in depth!

4.00We had a great day exploring Naxos. Our guide Eric was very good--informative, personable, easily understood. He gave interesting details and history, but without droning on constantly (like what we have experienced on some other excursions). The stops were interesting and varied. Highly recommend for getting an overview of this beautiful island.
Highly Recommended

5.00A full day with visits to a number of key sights on Naxos representing a great introduction to the island. Excellent guide (+ an assistant) and driver in a comfortable coach. The roads are challenging in places and I was glad not to have rented a car on this, our first, visit. If in doubt go for it!
What a great way to see...

5.00This trip is a good way to explore the beautiful island which is quite large. The tour covered the hills, villages and seaside . It does not cover the old town near the port and Apollo temple , which can be explored on your own. Joseph's English accent was easy to understand and he was sweet enough to bring me next day, my water bottle which I had forgotten in one village store. My only suggestion is that the guests
A great tour of Naxos, well worth the money
