Nadya is THE BEST! - This tour made our trip! A friend and I were in Lefkada on a yoga retreat. We wanted to take a day to see as much as we could. Nadya was the absolute best! She showed us everything listed in the tour description, and more! We ended up spending 9 hours with her. She entertained us the entire day with her stories and her great knowledge on both Greece, and other countries in Europe. She is wildly entertaining. She sees the world through such an interesting set of lenses. The facts she shares about history and culture, which could otherwise be uninteresting to someone who doesn’t value history, are always laced with her distinct humor. We loved Nadya so much that we convinced our yoga retreat facilitator to book her for the entire group for a different tour. Luckily Nadya was able to fit us in! I messaged her the night before asking if we could stop at a bakery to pick up a surprise cake for our yoga teacher’s birthday. Instead, she went to the bakery herself on the way to pick us up. She sent me pictures of all of the different options and brought the cake secretly. Who does that?! We visited the coolest little family owned olive museum for a tour/tasting, then lunch at a sweet taverna, then we spent time at one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Our drive home was in torrential rain, and we felt safe the entire time. The island is not set up well for rain, so the roads get flooded quickly, but Nadya makes everyone who enters her space feel safe. Nadya is the absolute best, and I only wish we could have brought her home with us to hang out more!

Great day sightseeing on the mainland! - Nadya is a fun local guide, she has great knowledge about lefkada and the mainland. The booking was easy, Parga is a pretty village, good for a day visit. Necromanteion and the boatride are cool! Ask her about walls! 😉

Amazing - Super experience, we were lucky enough to find Nadia to guide us on our visit to Parga. She took us through a wonderful experience, seeing this beautiful land and having someone with such passion and knowledge for the region made our tour unique. Thank you for the experience Nadia and as we said we will be back next year.
