Great Tour! - Our half-day tour of Naxos was exceptional! We would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to experience the rich history of Naxos, from how olive oils were made to visiting some great historical sites.

Naxos Half Day Tour - We were recently in Naxos and did a half day tour of the island. We were delighted with the experience. Our guide/ driver was prompt, efficient, very friendly and informative. He actually also worked in a restaurant which we dined in that night and he saved a prime table for us. It was a great experience. The small mountain towns we visited were amazing and our guide was first class.

Kostas provided a very personalized experience! - Kostas was very knowledgeable about Naxos having grown up there and continuing to work and care for his family’s farm. A private tour is as much about your interaction and learning the driver/guide’s life as it is about the sights/villages. Kostas was delightful to spend 4 hrs with. It was just the right amount of his telling us about Naxos and letting us ask questions. He of course knew many of the artisans where we visited. We loved learning about the picking of olives to extracting olive oil process which Kostas knows so well because he has olive trees on his farm. Maybe he didn’t want me to say this but he allowed us to visit his farm and see his paintings and taste his grapes which was a memorable treat.

1/2 day tour of Naxos - Our guide Kostos was delightful. Great tour up into the mountain villages. Visited very old olive oil press, pottery shop, distillery, town paved with marble, and much more. He really brought Naxos hot life for us. Highly recommend

Enjoyable day - Glad we didn’t have to drive! Enjoyable to have a driver instead. Could have customized where we went but stuck to recommended areas: temple, pottery store, distillery, olive museum.

Tour Naxos in Comfort - We did this half day tour the day after we arrived in Naxos. My husband and I had some ideas of what we wanted to see and Vasilis helped us flesh them out. We visited a church, the temple of Demeter, a potter’s studio, walked around the pretty town of Chalki, and visited the Eggares Olive press. The van was comfortable and we didn’t feel rushed. I’m glad we spent the day this way- we wouldn’t have done all of this by bus or car.

Tour was ok but guide below par - Sites seen were ok but the guide had limited English and was dismissive of our questions. The price was high for what was basically a taxi service.

Disappointing - Our tour guide was not very knowledgeable or personable. Much of the time he was silent, he didn't teach us much history or about the people or geography of Naxos. He didn't make it fun. Wish we had gone with another company as it wasn't worth the money.

Average “tour” - Once again, this “tour” was average. We did another one on a different green island and had a similar experience. The driver hardly spoke unless spoken to, and I felt it was more like a glorified taxi ride. I wouldn’t do it again.

Poor English and value - The car and what we saw was fine but sadly the guide’s English was stilted and he was dismissive of many of our questions. Also for what it was it was very expensive. You may as well just book a local taxi for much cheaper.
