This tour was well worth the money. The fact that we were picked up and dropped off at our accomodation was great, because we were quite a ways away from the main road. We were first contacted by Yiannis from the travelling agency and he kindly answered all our questions about the trip and was very helpful. We had the pleasure of having Spiros as a driver, and he made us laugh and taught us a lot about the history and spirit of Zakynthos. He also taught us how to dance sirtaki, which was very fun! Giorgios was the wonderful captain that took us to the Blue Caves and explained and showed us the wonders that we encountered there (no spoilers haha!). The best part of the trip for me personally was the dive we took in the Ionian Sea, near the Caves, because we were quite far from any beaches and so the water was absolutely crystal clear and you can also see and feed the fish. We then had a good lunch at the Galaxy Tavern (I wholeheartedly recommend the kleftiko lamb and the tzatziki of course) and went to see the island's oldest olive tree, where we bought olive oil, beeswax and honey creams, olives and rose liqueur (very reasonable prices and the packaging is flight-safe). All in all, a wonderful experience and thanks to all that made it happen. Will recommend the trip to friends and family and will absolutely book again when we return to the beautiful island of Zakynthos!
