Excellent tour to see the main sites of Naxos

Published on Oct, 2024

This was wonderful tour. We learned all about the marble production and carving methods in ancient times. I really liked the visit to the old town (Halki, I believe) and the visit to the small church. Our group was well treated. Our guide at times was hard to understand, however was very knowledgeable about the area and made sure we all felt satisfied with the content of the tour.

Fantastic!

Published on Sep, 2024

Loved everything, the guide was very knowledgable and very friendly. Got to see lots! Loved the snack and candy as well.

Good experience

Published on Aug, 2024

we were really impressed with this tour. Yes, you are on a bus with a lot of people, but they do a good job of taking you to the sites and giving you time to explore. For the money, it is unbeatable

Incredible. So glad we chose this tour

Published on May, 2024

Recommended by Zoe at our hotel, Alkyoni Beach Hotel - this was such a great day Picked up just a short walk from the hotel, Alex our guide and William, our driver, gave us a truely memorable time. So much to see, the trip was so well planned Never rushed. Time to see the main sights and fantastic scenery while we were moving Special mention of our driver. Some of the mountain roads are exciting’ to say the least! Never a worry…. Alex also had knowledge way beyond the normal tour guide A real memory

A great introduction to the culture (ancient and modern) of Naxos island.

Published on Jun, 2022

A great introduction to the culture (ancient and modern) of Naxos island. A full day that was carefully curated and enthusiastically explained by the guide Dimitris. Visits to a temple, a citron distillery for tasting and a demonstration of throwing pots. The driver was excellent and given the winding roads very safe.
