“Panos was a fantastic tour guide. Took us around the city while talking about its history. Gave us a lot of time to self explore, suggested good food and drink options and kept us entertained. We even offered him a drink and lunch but he politely refused. We had a great time with him and enjoyed the beautiful city tour.”

“This was a do!! George the captain was amazing. We had some rough weather so we’re unable to do the lighthouse or volcano but if we had more days he offered to reschedule. We decided to continue with just the beach tour and we are so glad we did! George took us to some hidden spots we had a fabulous time! We were able to see red, white and black beach and do some cave diving in a hidden spot. The hospitality onboard was also excellent as we enjoyed some local pastry’s, homemade sandwiches and some delicious Greek wine while on board.”

“Clickbait! First I will say the sites were beautiful. But.. the pics online of the boat were deceiving. It showed a twin engine luxurious boat when in fact it was a single engine smaller boat that was not as advertised. The food/ snacks were horrible. In the pic it displayed a lovely tray of fruits and snacks. What we got was a Tupperware of cut up apples and cheap packaged snacks that were disgusting. For the high price we paid was so disappointing and we felt ripped off. We did other boating excursions while in Greece on all the islands we went to that were gorgeous and 5* but this…”

“Adrian did a wonderful job of helping us make the most of our time on the island. We visited during a particularly overcrowded day with multiple cruise ships. Adrian was very communicative ahead of time both making sure we were prepared for delays and time constraints, as well as working with us to optimize what we cared about. Despite the crowds he managed to take us to some wonderful photo spots and give us enough of a feel of the island. He was particularly attentive to the needs of our kids, and was an excellent photographer for us too. The vehicle was large and comfortable as well. Overall, highly recommend.”
