Fabulous! - Spending the day with Nadya as our guide was the highlight of our holiday, I can’t recommend this enough. Picked up at the door of our hotel, Nadya was entertaining and full of local knowledge, from history to local customs, we enjoyed her company as much as the tour itself. The itinerary means you get to see so much of the island, the wine tasting was fabulous and lunch at a real taverna that you’d never find on your own was a pleasure. If you want to see and experience Lefkada, this is the tour to do. Thanks Nadiya for a fabulous day!

Day tour in Lefkada - We had a great day with Nadya - visited the Faneromeni monastery, had a tour of the Agious Nikitas village, stopped at the small winery for the wine tasting, visited olive oil museum, another village for the bread tasting, and, of course, beach. Nadya is a very knowledgeable guide and. combined with her passion about places she showed us, made this day an unforgettable experience for us. Highly recommended.
