Our tour guide was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and gave us great stories of Naxos, Greece and the surrounding land, towns and history as well as the sites we visited, while allowing us time to take photos on the tours and was very professional, lovely lady, transport had great AC as well, walks were managable and the food tasting was sublime! Best wine I have ever tasted, and have been searching for the Koroneiki epirroes olive oil to buy for home since!

A very fascinating, in-depth tour of Naxos town touching on Greek mythology and stopping for wine and snacks. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and great with the kids in our group—she got them involved and interested and was very patient with the youngest child when his attention span decreased after a long day! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the beautiful island of Naxos.
