    Nice day

    July 14, 2025

    not bad but ngl I didn’t expect to be on the bus so much. Villages were cool but felt rushed, like 25min and go again. Apollonas swim was really nice tho. water crazy clear. just wish we had more time in one place instead of jumping around. also bring water – I didn’t and regret that.

    A must do if you're in Naxos!!!

    October 15, 2024

    Naxos is huge and can be quite difficult to get around (especially if you don't have a car, and even if you do driving can be stressful given the insane bends in very narrow roads), hence this tour was perfect because you get to see so much of the island, and you visit a great variety of places from ancient temples to colourful pottery workshops to gorgeous quaint mountain villages and beaches. Our tour guide Alex was AMAZING - she had such a good sense of humour and was so funny while keeping us very well engaged throughout the tour. She was so informative and really brought the sights to life with her excellent explanations of ancient Greek mythology, the stories behind the sites we visited and so many fun little facts as we went on about the day.

    The roads in Naxos are absolutely insane, especially as you head towards the mountain villages (countless tight narrow bends and turns), and our driver Spyros was absolutely incredible and maneuvered the roads so safely and we felt absolutely no discomfort while going around the many bends. He was an absolute pro and so kind and friendly too. The bus was also new and very comfortable. The views of the sea from the ride back down the mountain as you head back to Chora were absolutely incredible! (hint: sit on the right hand side of the bus for the best view)

    This tour is an absolute must do if you're in Naxos, and it's such a well-spent day cos you truly see so much without feeling tired or overwhelmed. And the fact that it costs just €30, the value for money you get here is above and beyond! I absolutely 100% recommend this tour to anyone cos it was so fun and educative (especially if you get Alex as your tour guide).

    Amazing tour and guides

    September 10, 2024

    The tour was well organized as far as time was concerned. Got to see many places of the inner island which are diificult to reach if you don't have your own vehicle. The guide Thanos and our driver Spyros were amazing. Thanos was very proffesional, friendly, eager to help and funny as well. He made our visit an unforgettable experience. Would definitely recommend.

    Amazingly thorough tour of Naxos! So glad we did it!

    July 11, 2023

    Having book only a small amount of time on the island we didn't realize quite how big it is! This was a great way to explore most of the island. The bus was very comfortable and the guide extremely informative and friendly. You can't beat the value for money for this tour if you're tight on time!!
