Outstanding trip - We were looking to book a ferry to Ithaca in Agorstoli, when we came across this office and the lady was very informative, this is where we also met Vanna, who was so kind, thoughtful and helpful regarding the coach tour of Ithaca. We booked the trip. Vanna made it easy for me to take my mobility frame to enable me to get the best out of the trip. She also said she would reserve the front seats for the four of us and make sure there was plenty of water and chance for me to take my meds on time. On the day of the trip woth Vanna and Vangelis the journey was wonderful, the information was interesting about the Island. Vangelis driving was exceptional particularly.around the steep, winding roads. We visited Vathy, Kathron monastery, Kioni and Stavros,.there was plenty of time and opportunity to take photos and enjoy the places we stopped. Kioni was a lovely harbour where we visited a taverna for lunch. We learnt so much of the history of the Island and Greek Mythology throughout this trip. We were so grateful for the extra care and attention from Vamna and Vangelis

A trip to remember - Highly recommend this trip to the stunningly beautiful island of Ithaca. Lifetime dream of visiting the home of legendary Odysseus and didn't disappoint. Had a lovely lunch break in picture perfect Kioni. The guide Vanna was very helpful and informative and the driver Vangelis did a great job negotiating the windy mountainside roads.

Must do tour but a long day - Booked the Ithaca tour via the Lassie office. Early pick up as we had to drive up to Sami. Really enjoyed the trip, visited Vathy, the monastery at the top of the mountain (couldn’t believe they got the bus up those very ‘hairy’ tight bend and roads), great driving. Also visited Kioni for lunch, the prices were very reasonable and right on the sea front. Only issue was the visit to Stavros, not much there but the rep did explain it was either Stavros or just sit and wait at the port. The tour guide was really good and explained the mythology around the odyssey. We would definitely recommend and it felt like a reasonable price for what was over 12hrs in total.

Brilliant day out. - A very well organised tour. Vanna was very informative. Vangelis drove brilliantly. A lovely smooth ride all day. Thank you both.

A must DO trip from Argostoli to Ithaca by bus!!! Vanna our Guide (5 stars) - I would like to take this opportunity and deeply thank Vanna for been so kind to us from the very first second that we met her. She is super friendly, chatty, knowledgeable and super-super caring person. Speaks beautiful, fluent, eloquent English! A top-notch specialist that will leave no stone unturned on her way! We really loved the agency office (Avgerinos Travel Experience) which is centrally located in close proximity to restaurants, shops and beaches. I really recommend popping up there as the information you will receive in under 15 minutes will make the difference for your whole trip. They have a TV and short presentations of the trips they offer which helps massively when choosing where to go. Also, I searched online, but couldn't find such a detailed map of Kefalonia which Vanna provided us as a printed copy and we still use on a daily basis when choosing where to go. Very soon they will have a souvenir shop open next to the office where everyone will have the opportunity to purchase a present for their loved ones. Vanna was never pushy in her approach but rather dedicated to suit our interest in making the best choice and feel happy. She recommended us one of the best gems to visit on our own as we hired a car while on the island, which we a deeply grateful for! The reason we decided to go to Ithaca by bus and not by car was that was so well organised and travelling there by car could be really challenging. Streets are so narrow and challenging to drive. Our driver Vangelis was an absolute hero and star. He drove the bus with such an ease along the Ithaca island. We felt super comfortable throughout the whole journey, focusing our minds on the beauty that surrounds us instead of the tiny treacherous roads! The trip itself includes visit to the capital Vathy, where we had 1.5h to look around and have breakfast. Then we made our way to the fascinating Kathara Monastery, which opens a mesmerising views of the whole island. And lastly we visited the Kioni and Stavros - two super beautiful small villages where we had time for lunch, swim and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere! Once more, massive thanks to Vanna, Vangelis and Avgerinos for making our trip to Ithaca so pleasurable and unforgettable! Hope to see you again in the future and join one of your tours! Love you all!))

Seeing Homer's description of Ithaca! - Vanna, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and caring. Enjoyed the trip immensely. The driver was an excellent, patient driver. All went very smoothly! Thanks!

Fantastic - Such a beautiful island will remain in my memory forever. Vanna our guide for the day was fabulous and our driver amazing coping with some treacherous bends in the road. A wonderful day.

Excellent day - Very good. Saw a lot of the island with very informative guide. Some splendid views especially from the monastery. Could have done without the ice cream stop at Stavros.

A lovely way to explore Ithaca - Having visited Kefalonia quite a few times, we were interested to explore Ithaca. Originally we were contemplating a boat cruise around the island but I am very glad we decided to go on this guided inland tour. I’m not usually a great fan of bus tours, but this was a pretty small coach. The legendary Vanna, our guide, was first class! She was funny, kind, enthusiastic and very informative. She chatted away as we travelled and was very amusing as well as knowledgeable. Vangelis the driver was superb. Despite very many challenging hair pin bends and mountain ascents, he was calm, smooth, slow and measured in his driving and it was very soothing. We visited the main towns where we stopped for coffee and lunch and also the monastery almost at the highest point of the island, with breathtaking views. It was a very relaxing day out, from the ferry rides there and back from Sami and everything in between. A lovely and very easy way to explore the beautiful island of Ithaca.

Lots of history and spectacular views. - A really great tour with the informative and friendly Vanna. We started off with a ferry ride over to Ithaca and then onwards to our first stop in Vathi. Vanna was very helpful in pointing out things of potential interest and showing us where to find certain places. A definite highlight for us was the trip up to the Monastery but it's not for the faint hearted! Those are some twisted roads, 180 degrees turns and death defying drops, all in a coach but we were in safe hands and the view from the highest point of the island was well worth it! As was the lunchtime stop in Kioni which is basically a picture perfect postcard in real life. There is a lot of time spent on the coach travelling between places but it's a good chance to hear about the history of the island, including the impact of the 1953 earthquake and the story of Odysseus. All in all a good trip with a good company. Thanks for a lovely trip!
