Amazing places and tour guides - Loved this tour - the two stops were great and Elafonissi is incredible. It was quite busy, so we didn’t bother to try for a sun-bed and went straight across to the island. We found a bit of shade but if you’ve got an umbrella to bring, that would be ideal. Our guide, Diana, and driver, Marcos, were fantastic.

Take a tour with Exodus. A wonderful experience! - A wonderful experience. Highly recommended. Comfortable, informative and very friendly while also being very safe on a tough drive. Thank you so much. We also went on the Balos Lagoon tour with Exodus and that was also a great and fun trip for the family.

Leuk - It was nice to do all the activities. We have been to Gramvousa, Balos, Elafonnisi it was beautiful to do. The road to elafonnisi is a challenge between the mountains and to Balos by boat too 😅 the company is also correct, on time and friendly.

Great day out - Marie the guide was great and Marco’s the driver was amazing getting the massive coach up very winding and narrow roads! Nice tour the monastery was quick and fine the beach they should tell some there is about a 10 minute walk down and up a very rocky path! It was also very crowded at the beach with very limited umbrellas unless you got there first thing in the morning! Waters were beautiful and your able to wade through easily not. Much pink sand left but still lovely scenery . Just very hot and no umbrella protection!
