Brilliant day out. - Fantastic trip from start to finish. Our guide Melanie was brilliant, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, she kept us both informed and entertained throughout the trip. Tasted some lovely wines and the caves are an absolute must do while in kefalonia, some great photo opportunities and a lovely lunch stop. Also have to mention our driver Regina, although her english was limited she was friendly, fun and kept us entertained, we felt in safe hands with her expert driving around the island. Would highly recommend this company and this trip.

Cephalonia day out - Pick up on time. Mel was an experienced guide with lots of knowledge. Lots of useful information. Lovely day out. Highlight was the cave and the wine tasting 😋

Discovered Kefalonia - From the very beginning of the private tour our guide, Chris, imparted information about a great many things regarding Kefalonia and Greece. We learned about history, customs, architecture, significant locations, cuisine, politics and much more. Chris was very generous with his time and we saw all that was requested and more! It was a very full day and one we’ll not forget. Such a beautiful island! Chris had the best spots to capture this beauty in our photos and was happy to take some snaps of our family for us. He knew the right times to visit high tourist destinations so we’d avoid the hour long waits, he drove safely and adapted the tour to our requests. Chris treated us to delicious homemade bread and sausage from his mother’s kitchen and local cheese. He also shared local wine, without preservatives, with us in a mountain top setting with a story of its own. Thank you Chris. Kefalonia is all we’d hoped it would be and you helped us discover much it has to offer its visitors.

Kefalonia highlights a true delight! - We spend a fantastic day in the wonderful company of our guide Melanie and fantastic driver (apologies I can’t recall her name). We were lucky to have a small group of just 10 of us. The whole trip was brilliant, informative and fun thanks to our 2 “crew” who kept us laughing all day, and ahead of the crowds from the 2 cruise ships! The monastery was a truly special place (even if you’re not religious) and the lake takes your breath away so is well worth the queue to get in. If you’re only going to do do one trip during your holiday then I’d highly recommend this as it’s great value and if you’re lucky enough to get Melanie as your guide you’ll have the best time seeing the gems Kefalonia has to offer!!

Lovely tour - We had a taste of Kefalonia tour with Melanie and Demetrus It was a great day, very relaxed with good food and company. Melanie was very knowledgeable and funny and driver Demetrus added to the enjoyment with his love of music and good humour. We went to the caves which were fantastic, the monastery which was fantastic and well as some wine tasting. A lovely lunch and ice cream later on too. Second time with this company on this trip and they've been great. Highly recommend

What an amazing day! - We spent the day exploring Kefalonia with Ace Travel and from start to finish it was absolutely magical. Our tour guide, Melanie, was fantastic. She was warm, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history, traditions and stories behind everything we visited. Our coach driver, Regina, was equally wonderful. Her driving was excellent, and her infectious laugh brought so much joy to the day. We sat just behind them on the coach and loved listening to them chatting away in Greek. Even though we couldn’t understand most of what they were saying, their friendship and good humour were impossible not to enjoy. One of the highlights of the day was visiting the Chapel of Saint George. Melanie explained the history of Saint George and the Orthodox traditions associated with him before we arrived. Walking into the chapel was an incredibly moving experience. The atmosphere was unlike anything I’ve felt before, and I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion. We had actually left the church when we heard the bell ringing and discovered that this meant visitors could return inside to witness the opening of the immense silver casket containing Saint George’s body. We were privileged to receive a blessing from the priest and kiss st georges feet – a truly unforgettable and deeply spiritual experience! We then visited a local winery, where we sampled some delicious locally produced wines while learning about the vineyards and the cooperative behind them. Melanie’s commentary brought the experience to life. We tasted a white, rosé and red wine, and enjoyed them so much that we returned home with three bottles of white, one red, some local moonshine, olive oil and honey. The drogorati caves were another breathtaking part of the tour. Melanie once again filled the journey there with fascinating information. There are quite a few steps down to the viewing platforms, and while I decided not to tackle every last one on the way down, my husband James carried on to explore further. The caves themselves were magnificent, the pictures incredible and the climb back up certainly gave our legs a workout! Later, we moved on to the Mellisani caves, boarded small boats to explore the cave system from the water, which was simply magical. At one point, we drifted beneath an opening in the cave ceiling where sunlight streamed through from above. James captured beautiful photographs of the sun shining directly overhead – a moment we’ll never forget. Throughout the entire day, Regina safely guided us around the island while Melanie ensured we understood and appreciated everything we were seeing. Their enthusiasm and genuine love for what they do made all the difference. What a wonderful way to round off an already amazing holiday! Ps the Kefalonia meat pie and lamb at Foinikas in Agea Effimia were well recommended and perfectly served. We also joined the Ace Travel trip boat trip around Ithaca the previous day aboard the Romantika with Captain Vengalis, which was equally fantastic. The captain and crew were fantastic and ensured everyone (including the magnificent boat) were taken care of at all times Again, Melanies knowledge of the island, the port villages, what foods to eat and where plus the swim stop beaches was second to none and made the day amazing! We honestly cannot praise Ace Travel enough. The value for money is exceptional, and both excursions helped turn an already wonderful holiday into something truly special. Thank you to Melanie, Regina, Captain Vengalis and everyone at Ace Travel for helping us end our week perfectly. We will treasure these memories for years to come.

Fun and informative - Melanie guided on a bus tour of the island. Her commentary and expertise were excellent. We visited St.Gerasimos church and monastery very moving. We then tasted excellent wine walked through dragon cabes and rowed through underground lakes

Brilliant way to see the Island. - Great experience from start to Finish. I would highly recommend this tour. We were picked up close to our hotel and visited a monastery (knees and shoulders must be covered), a cooperative winery with wine tasting and the Drogarati and Melissani caves. We also had the chance to buy authentic local herbs and honey. We had super lunch in the beautiful coastal town of Agia Efima. I had thought about hiring a car to see these places but in the end I was glad I did not. A tour was much more relaxing and informative. Our guide was superb, Loads of interesting local information and history. She rang ahead to see what the queues were like at Melissani and apparently they were huge so she swapped the itinerary around and we went to lunch first. This worked out really well as the queues had died down when we got to the cave. My partner left her hat on the coach and after dropping a message to ACE the hat was handed back into our Hotel reception the next day.

Kefalonia island tour. - Excellent trip to give a glimpse into the beautiful Kefalonia. Our guide Melanie was superb at describing the wonderful sights and history of the island. Her knowledge and advice was incredible. Gladly do this tour again.

Fantastic experience - Fantastic day out! Mel was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge. Would highly recommend. Oh and the driver was very experienced she was just wonderful
