Hiking in unspoilt nature in Karapathos - super nice hike. Very pleasant way, as the young energetic and super-sympathetic Renata does. Here you can learn how real life goes and what you can do with it all once you have chosen this island. It also explains a lot about the plants, about the animals and about their handling. The hike was entertaining, lively and full of good vibes. Highly recommended 👌

Beautiful walking tour - Today with Thom de Lastos mountain hike done. What a great day. Dot on time were picked up at the agreed spot. After a stopover to pick up dog and photographer, towards the starting point. The walk goes over small goat paths, through forest and over plain. Constantly beautiful surroundings and vistas. Thom is an enthusiastic narrator, explaining nature and much more. Cup of brought sage tea, went in well. The walk is sometimes quite tough, but very worthwhile

Recommended - Enjoyed a beautiful walk led by Thom. Small group, attention to everyone's possibilities (participant with a fear of heights), lots of information about herbs etc.

The sound of silence during the Lastos hike - We did the Lastos Hike with Guide Thom. A great walk through the higher part of Lastos. Thom takes you through the beautiful rocky nature and breathtaking views. His knowledge about the island, its history, culture and customs is an inexhaustible source. The complete silence around you during the walk with the stunning wide panoramas are vitamins for your soul. I would say that this walk should be mandatory for everyone who visits Karpathos.

A world class day hike - My wife and I did this hike and highly recommend it to any hiking and nature lover. This was a strenuous hike but worth every step of the 9km of up and down crossing a nice chunk of the island. Special highlight in addition to the spectacular scenery is getting a close up view of the tallest peak on the island, Mt Limni. Of course Renata is the optimal guide for this hike. She knows the trail, the flowers, history of the island and all the locals you might come across. We have hiked all over Europe and Asia and this one will be remembered as one of the special day hikes we have done. Highly recommend.

Unique views - Amazing hike sorrounded by enchanting views and perfumes of mediterranean sage and thyme. Renata has been a perfect, energetic tour guide: well prepared and full of enthusiasm, she has been able to inspire us with interesting stories, to discover a different Karpathos. Definitely worth it!

Top hike - Super nice walk with beautiful views. Guide Renate tells a lot about the nature we encountered along the way and life on Karpathos. My two daughters aged 14 and 16 also liked it!

Beautiful views and fine guide!! - Super nice views, really super cool! Enough rest moments and shade to sustain the walk and the views are totally worth it. Very nice tourguide who knows a lot about the area and nature, so you will also learn a lot about Karpathos during the walk
