My family and I really enjoyed this tour. Georgiana was an excellent guide. She had a lot of passion and knowledge as she shared the mythology and history of Naxos. She went above and beyond after the tour by walking us back to a restaurant we saw on the tour where we wanted to eat dinner. I highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in mythology and history.

While anyone can walk up to the Temple of Apollo on their own, our tour guide, Vera, was very knowledgeable about the psychology behind the myths. We also were guided into areas of Naxos Town that we might not have otherwise explored and ended up going back to the cheese shop for a cheese tasting later that evening. There is a stop at a rooftop bar. Great view but cost of the drinks is not included in the trip price. This stop wasn't really necessary.

The tour experience was excellent thanks to our tour guide Maria who had a great knowledge of mythology. She connected this knowledge to the sites we visited around the town. She also gave us tips on different points of interest to see around town. Her delivery of the subject stood out thanks to her very warm personality. We fell in love with Naxos thanks to her.
