Very nice tour guide. The bus was exactly on time and picked us up near our accommodation. It was a pretty white boat that picked us up to get to Preveli beach. Everything was well organised.

Couldn't fault it, we had such an amazing time! For the luxury of not having to worry about driving, parking etc and getting to see places you wouldn't normally get to see.. I just can't fault it. All I will say is remember the boat fare is not included and bring cash
