This was a great day out with our guide Theodore who was friendly and helpful, giving us lots of information about the area and answering all our questions. He also volunteered to take family photos at all the scenic viewpoints. The minibus tour was great but the high light of the trip had to be the boat excursion to Navagio (shipwreck) beach where you get to spend an hour before being taken to the blue caves. I was amazed how far they took the boat in to the caves, we were lucky that at one of the caves the water was not too choppy and were able to take a quick swim here too. Theodore didn’t join us on the boat trip but his colleague Kostas was also very pleasant. After the boat trip there is a quick lunch stop at a local taverna which was okay - my wife says her prawns were amazing. A quick stop at the oldest olive tree on the island and then back to be dropped if at our accommodation. A thouroughly good day and I felt it was great value.With the 15e biat fee, a little bit overpriced. But the sites and views are amazing. Such blue color of the water! Also the bus driver and the restaurant needs a little more of quality. Overall an avarage experiance :)

Overall an avarage experiance :)Long story short: the advertising pictures from the top of the mountain looking down to the ship won’t happen because of restrictions. You won’t get anywhere close to that so don’t go with that hope. Next, this price DOES NOT include another 15€ that they ask in cash for the boat fee We stop at a...
Long story short: the advertising pictures from the top of the mountain looking down to the ship won’t happen because of restrictions. You won’t get anywhere close to that so don’t go with that hope. Next, this price DOES NOT include another 15€ that they ask in cash for the boat fee We stop at a restaurant that is not the best but by the time we ate, it was good to have any food Not a lot of any tour facts about the points we were seeing. It’s more like just a mini bus that takes you from point a to point b Pro: you do get to see points on the other side of the island that would take forever to see by yourself and the time at the sightseeing places is okay.Little bit late to pick up, but experience with this price was excellent!
Little bit late to pick up, but experience with this price was excellent!We were picked up on time in a clean, well-air-conditioned bus. The tour was great. We stopped at many places but were told early on that we wouldn't be able to visit Shipwreck Beach due to high winds that day.

We were picked up on time in a clean, well-air-conditioned bus. The tour was great. We stopped at many places but were told early on that we wouldn't be able to visit Shipwreck Beach due to high winds that day. Although we weren't able to visit the beach, we did get to visit one of the farms on the island and learned a lot about the history of the farm, met some animals and got to try some delicious wine! Dennis was a lovely tour guide and I'd happily book the tour again.
