Ask for Dennis...best tour guide/driver!!! - Our driver, Dennis, was amazing!! Such a great guy and so knowledgable, helpful, friendly...we had an amazing time. Dennis had a great plan for our day, but was willing to be flexible, based on our group needs/wants. If I were to tell a friend, I would say skip the caves...go to Myros beach instead. That was our only regret.

The Best of Kephalonia - The sights on this island are stunning. The beaches, the underground lake, the impressive cave, the rugged terrain, the good wine on the winery tour all made for a memorable trip. This island has a comfortable, sort of laid back vibe which was exemplified by our driver, Spyros. He explained in a conversational style that made us feel we had known him before. Thank you for that comfort level.

Half Day Kefalonia tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our Kefalonia tour, thanks in large part to Dennis. He helped us to make decisions about places to visit, tailored to our needs and limitations. The van was spacious and comfortable and easily accessible for people with mobility problems. We managed to see a good part of the countryside, with Dennis giving us interesting insights about the history, mythology and geography of the place.

Excellent service - From start to finish we had the best setvice. Dionysius was super fast with responding to our query and was able to cost up a trip that suited the needs of all of us. The vehicle was 5* and our kids who usually hate long trips were wowed by the Mercedes 11 seater van which felt like luxury. Harris the driver was super helpful and patient with us. Would recommend as the best price for the best service. Will be using again!

Book this tour! - We loved our excursion! The driver Alberto was amazing. Spoke excellent English, very knowledgeable and just a wonderful person! So much better than a large group tour by bus. Scenery was so beautiful and really enjoyed every stop. Suggest you provide tipping suggestions as we left unsure we did enough for Alberto and he deserved the best!

Beautiful drive - Our guide George was friendly, knowledgeable and a great driver! He told us a lot about the island and took us to a great, family run winery, where we did a food and wine tasting. Our only complaint was the time we spent in the car, which was due to the size of the island, not the company. The roads are incredibly windy, with beautiful views, but not much in between. I would highly recommend this company and George, just know what you want to do and see before you go.

Private “driver” in Kefalonia. - Kefalonia was absolutely beautiful and serene. Listen….go first thing as early as possible to Melissani Lake and Drogarati cave otherwise it’s hours of wasted time. This tour is basically a private driver to the each of the sites. Definitely worth it to have the driver, but not a lot of ‘tour guiding’ going on if that’s what you are expecting. The Orealios winery is a must visit!
