Zakynthos is a beautiful place. Our guide Spiros and his partner Spiros provided us with various travel support such as explanation, driving, hiking, and photography. Without their patient and thoughtful arrangements, it would be difficult for us to unlock this beautiful sea. They also professionally took many unforgettable photos for our trip, which all became our beautiful and precious memories. Thank them again, we are very satisfied with this trip.

Because of the low season our tour was changed into a private tour with a different rate. The view was amazing. I love the winter sea. Our guide Marcos is very helpful and passionate. The tour was well-organized and combined with road trip and boat trip. Our captain is great! We had a smaller boat which allowed us to get into various blue caves. I highly recommend this tour and I want to back here in the summer:D

It was absolutely amazing, Spiros knows everything of the island and did his very best to show us every beautiful spot even the weather was not that good. You definitely won’t regret seeing Zakynthos with him!!

It was more fun than I expected! The guide took photos using a drone, which was great! My guide, Spiros P, was cheerful and good at taking photos! He also had good boat driving skills! Please try it!

The fee was increased upon notification. I am not satisfied with the price/performance ratio. Everything else is ok.
