Stunning day tour! - This was an excellent tour of portions of Kefalonia. Our guide (I think her name was Maria) was exceptional on the September 22nd day trip I went on. Our driver was magnificent in navigating a large bus on some twisty roads. We had a beautiful sunny day, which amplified the stunning scenery.
I only wish we could have spent 15-20 more minutes at Assos. I was the only person on the bus who made it all the way to the top of the old castle. I only had a few minutes to spend at the top before I had to turn around to come back.

Well worth a visit - Lovely location with Watersports and free loungers as long as you buy food and drinks from the cafe. Cafe is value for money and the staff really friendly. You can even get an on beach massage (in a tent for privacy)
A must go place for a day visit to the beach

Great tour on a beautiful island - We had a very enjoyable trip and, without a car, we could not have seen the lovely landscapes and town of Assos and Fiscardo. Our guide Duska was great, very knowledgeable and caring. She covered every aspects of Kefalonia, history, food, wines, nature, earthquake, war, and legends (Duska made it so interesting that I bought Homer's Odyssey when back in the UK!). We preferred Assos as Fiscardo was very busy (it's probably worse in August). The wine tasting on our return to Argostoli at the Vine Boutique was an added bonus. I recommend this tour which is a very relaxing way to see this beautiful island without the stress of driving (thank you to our very skilful driver).

The most welcoming guides around beautiful highlights of northern Kefalonia - Highly informative and friendly tour guide Katarina and the lovely driver Constantinos made an excellent team and provided a very organised and memorable trip. Visits to the highlights of northern Kefalonia without having to navigate the mountainous roads. We recommend this for anyone wanting to see Assos, Melissani Caves, Fiscardo and the view of Myros. We were picked up from our hotel at 8.30am and back before 17.30pm. It was a full day with a lot of time spent on the minibus but well worth it for the views and the beautiful destinations.

Full day Assos & Fiscardo Island Tour in Kefalonia - Wonderful day trip, our guide was amazing and made everyone feel very welcome. She was extremely knowledgeable and it was very interesting listening to her comprehensive commentary. Amazing views on the journey, we were a small group on comfortable small coach. Visited lake Messalini, Assos and Fiscardo all beautiful. Well worth the money.

Lovely tour, informative, beautiful and run by amazing people! - Beautiful tour with several stops in breathtaking places. It is a long day but well worth it. On our last full day before returning home, we were picked up from our hotel in Skala, did the tour and bought a load of souvenirs in Fiskardo where we had a delicious lunch by the harbour. Stupidly we forgot our bag with the souvenirs under the table and only noticed half way back to Argostoli! We notified our guide Duska who checked with the restaurant who confirmed they had the bag. She advised us to contact Nicki in the office and see if she could help. We did and what happened next was so kind we could hardly believe it. Nicki organised for the bag to be taken back to Argostoli the following morning and a driver was sent to meet us at the airport returning it to us before we checked our bags in. These people are absolute superstars and I can't recommend them highly enough, so kind and helpful. Oh and the tour was fantastic too!

Awesome day tour of the island. - This was the perfect island tour and the highlight of our holiday. Our tour guide, Katerina, was amazing, very knowledgable and probably the sweetest person we met while in Kefalonia. My daughter and I enjoyed every part of the tour, it was not rushed, we had enough time at each stop, and got to see some beautiful highlights on the island. Our bus driver, George, was an excellent driver and managed the winding roads like a true expert.
One very small negative, is that when I booked the inclusions said that we'd each get a map and a small cultural gift, we didn't receive either, which is fine, but I think this should be removed from the inclusions list.

Fantastic day with extremely informative cometary. - Great day out. Wonderful skilled guide with comprehensive commentary, and good driver. Amazing views on the journey. Comfortable seats, but very cramped. Not enough room to pull down the table flap (even for petite people). The lake visit Messalini was very short. Not more than 10 minutes in the boat, but was interesting. We loved Assos and could have enjoyed a longer stay. Fiscardo also beautiful and full of character. Well worth the money if you don’t want to drive in the mountain roads.

Fantastic sights but..... - I recently took the tour that promises a journey through beautiful countryside and picturesque villages, which initially seemed very appealing. However, I must express my disappointment with several aspects of the experience that significantly detracted from what should have been an enjoyable trip.
Firstly, the coach provided was far too small and uncomfortable. Every single bump on the road was felt sharply, making the journey quite unpleasant—my wife even remarked that yesterday’s jet ski ride was smoother! The so-called "air-conditioned" coach was a misnomer; the air blowers barely produced lukewarm air. Moreover, if you were seated on the outside seat, you couldn’t benefit from the airflow unless you awkwardly leaned into the person next to you.
To make matters worse, we were seated in the second row from the back, where it was impossible to hear the guide’s commentary. This meant we missed out on important information about the places we visited. When I raised this issue with the staff, their response was dismissive, stating that “no one complained yesterday and we used the same coach.” Such a reply was not only unhelpful but also lacked any empathy or willingness to address the problem.
While the scenery was undoubtedly beautiful and worth seeing, I would hesitate to take this tour again with this type of vehicle and under these conditions. The discomfort and poor customer service seriously undermined the overall experience.

Avoid this tour - The towns and views were exceptional and lovely, though the stops were a bit too short, but this was overshadowed by the very unpleasant experience while traveling. This tour was advertised as a ride in an air conditioned bus. There were warm fans, but no cool air and the fan did not reach the middle seats, so one had to akwardly lean onto the person on the window side to get air. Also, it was not a smooth ride, but very jarring unless you were sitting in the middle seats.
Having low blood pressure, this heat caused difficulties causing some health issues. The heat inside the bus was too hot, especially for a tour advertised as providing cool air-conditioning.
Top that off with not being able to hear the tour guide Wendy's commentary made the point of a guided tour pointless. When my husband brought this to the attention of the tour guide, her response was dismissive, merely replying that yesterday's tour didn't complain and they were using the same bus. She didn't apologize or offer a solution or show regard for good customer service.
The windows for viewing the scenery were dirty and smudged, the ride was incredibly hot, jarring and completely unpleasant and the commentary, although lengthy and probably well detailed, was inaudible to our seats toward the back.
It was a very disappointing trip and honestly put us off taking any tours in the future. You would be better off renting a car and driving out to the locations yourself.
If you're looking for a relaxing, enjoyable tour into the beautiful Greek countryside, with a cool, comfortable ride and commentary that can be easily heard, maybe look to another provider.
