This tour went even... - This tour went even better than I expected. Our guide, Alex, was incredibly knowledgeable about the town, its culture, and its food. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, you’ll be walking through charming streets and making several stops. Our first stop was at an authentic cheese shop, where we sampled a variety of cheeses and wine while Alex shared the fascinating history of cheese making in Naxos. Next, we visited the famous church in town, a beautiful and peaceful landmark. After that, we enjoyed an authentic dinner featuring cheese, fresh bread, stuffed peppers with rice and meat, and delicious local wine. We also explored a charming jam shop, and finally ended the evening at a liquor store offering an array of candies, oils, and traditional Naxos liquor. This final stop was my favorite part of the tour. Thank you, Alex, for making this an unforgettable experience!

Especially if you are staying outside of Naxos, this is a great option because they will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel or Airbnb in a very comfortable sprinter van. Our guide, Alex, made the whole tour! He was so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He made sure to make everyone feel included, including my elderly mother and child. He was also flexible and thoughtful, making tweaks to the tour to find the best routes for my mom to walk since she uses a cane and stopping at different shops to make sure we were able to bring home our favorite food souvenirs.

Food tour - This was so much fun. Our guide, Alex, is a charming young man, who was very knowledgeable about the town. It was just the 4 of us so it was a very personal experience. And all the food we tasted was wonderful. Though the cheeses were the highlight of all we tasted! We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Definitely a must! - My husband and I went on our honeymoon and our first night in Naxos we went on this tour. Such a great start to the trip. Our guide was amazing and we got to learn so much about the history of Naxos. He takes you to multiple different stops and shows you around the old town. Definitely recommend! The food was AMAZING!

Great night of history and delicious food! - The second of our fantastic tours through this provider, and just as wonderful as the first (which was the private half day tour of the island). This was a walking tour with extensive history and sightseeing around Naxos old town and the Venetian castle. Dinner was at one of the most highly recommended and quaint restaurants on the island. George, our tour guide, shared his extensive knowledge of the area, and provided a selection of local food that we all loved. It was a wonderful evening and one we hold fond memories of. Can’t thank our guide enough for the experiences we had.
