Private Day trip with Dimitris

Published on Dec, 2024

Wonderful day tour. Dimitris was an excellent driver and guide. We saw the highlights of the island. Stopped at many beautiful places for pictures. He suggested add-ons to the day. Enjoyed the boat trip to the cave and wine tasting. He is very flexible and knowledgeable on what to see and the time involved. Back to the ship with time to spare. Communication for the arrangements was excellent and timely. Book with Dimitris for a lovely introduction to Kefalonia. You will not be disappointed!

We had the greatest guide...

Published on Dec, 2024

We had the greatest guide . Private tour. She gave us options on what we wanted to see after the caves. We finished our tour in a winery. Most beautiful tour for me so far !!!

Great Customized Shore Excursion Experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Six of us had an all day private tour of Kelaphonia from our cruise ship with Dimitris, and despite the windy and rainy weather, we had an amazing day. He customized our experience and gave us much information about the geography, the history and the local products that this island is known for. Besides visiting the caves of Drogarati and Melissani, we visited an interesting church/ monastery where the hermit, St. Erasmus, was buried and where there was a nunnery. Then we went to a local family owned business to have a sit down treat of four kinds of wine, along with local cheese, meats and kumquat sweets. If we come back to this island we want to take another tour with Dimitris. He is kind, funny, knowledgeable…and so proud of his island!

Must see this gorgeous island.

Published on Oct, 2024

I normally do not mention a tour guides name, but Massimo was exceptional. He is very knowledgeable and proud of this amazingly beautiful island, and he continually showed us one spectacular view after another. He took us to some wonderful towns and quiet villages. The caves were fun, but be sure you are good with some pretty steep steps. He obviously loves what he does, and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. We hope to visit this wonderful place again in the future.
