The meal on the return journey was also excellent! Thanks for a great day out.Alex did a great job in leading our group.

Alex did a great job in leading our group. The walk was challenging at times but rewarding as we reached the top of the hill and the 13th Century fortress with fantastic views of the lagoon and seas. Loved his intro to the world of olive harvesting as well - super interesting, and I hope the crop is good this year. Greek olives and oil are fantastic. After the hike we had a nice cooling dip in the sea - much needed and relaxing. And after that a 20 minute drive to a remote and quiet house where we had the pleasure of eating at Costas' taverna - which was a private meal just for our group! Amazing natural dining outside, with delicious and refined food prepared by Costas's dad - while surrounded by vegetables growing fresh, plus of course vines and olive trees. Wonderful end to the trip!Absolutely amazing; including history lesson. Loved the views; incredible. George and Alex made sure everyone had an absolutely great time. Evening meal at the taverna was SUPER delicious!!! Highly recommend to get to know a tiny part of beautiful Greece.

We were recommended this trip from some fellow Neilson holidaymakers. When speaking to Climb Up, their usual Thursday evening trip was fully booked, but they went out of their way to put on another Monday evening trip to ensure we could go on it before our departure back to the UK. I am so glad they did...we didn't have many expectations but the trip was a highlight of the holiday. After a 45 minute drive we arrived and went on a walk along the lagoon and then up the hill (a relatively strenuous 300 metre climb) to the top where there is an 800 year old castle. George was our tour guide (and also owner of Climb Up) and he has the most incredible knowledge of history and Greek mythology. The insights and the way that he explained them were engaging, interesting and he wanted to ensure he shared his love of Greece. We then walked down the hill to a lovely beach where we had a swim, before being taken to a Greek Taverna for dinner. This was not just a greek Taverna!!! It was hidden down a small road and you would never find it if you were not taken there. The taverna was only open for the tour (6 of us!) and we had a private dining experience. All the fruit and vegetables are grown in the Tavernas garden and the food was delicious with free flowing wine, produced in the village. This meal was a highlight of the holiday. Thank you George for a fantastic trip. We never imagined it could be so good!Our tour with George and Alex was wonderful.

Our tour with George and Alex was wonderful. Both guides had excellent knowledge and passion for the history and geography of the beautiful coastline around Gialova. Our walk was short but had some steep sections, where our guides were especially patient and supportive of the less able members of the tour party. To cap off a lovely evening out, we were dropped off at a secret Greek taverna with home grown vegetables, wonderful salads and copious helpings of wine. Book a trip with George and Alex and you will have a great time!Fantastic trip from start to finish. George is an amazing guide, passionate about his country and an excellent guide and host. The tour included a gentle walk and mostly gentle climb with panoramic views followed by a swim in the lagoon and brilliant meal at a taverna. 100/10 George.
