A great way to see around Naxos without a car. - This tour was a great way to see a variety of what Naxos has to offer. There were plenty of stops and some amazing scenery. Our guide, Nicholas, was great, with a good sense of humour. The tour organiser has obviously listened to previous reviews as we had a great stop at the Temple of Demeter and good stops for coffee and lunch as well as lots of interesting information about what we were seeing. The next to last stop at the beach for coffee was beautiful and there is a great little silver shop there too!

Tip Top Tour - A great way to get a scenic and informative introduction to Naxos. Nick and driver dimitri are pros. I would never attempt these roads on my own. Highly recommended

Mythology, history, and in depth experiences from our guide. - Nikos brings his Naxian heart and blends his knowledge of the history of this island with local legend, (such as explaining the reason for the seasons mythologically and romantically), and with his full life experience (he has such passion for his hometown, his life's work and businesses-raising roosters, running two restaurants, mining emery, etc) this is an event filled tour. I enjoyed the swim in Apollon, tasting the Kitron, and marveling at the town made of marble. There are marble quarries on Naxos! Enjoy!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic tour and a highlight of our Greek holiday. Several interesting stops and unlike a similar tour on another island the pace on this tour was spot on, always the right amount of time at each stop. The food and coffee recommendations from Nico were excellent. Would def recommend
