Beautiful day in good company - Gaetan aka Dimitris 😂, made us have an exceptional day! A great Guide who showed us beautiful villages in addition to the tour. The waterfall is just sublime!! The family olive oil factory was perfect and Gaetan even translated the explanations of the place Owner. I highly recommend this excursion especially if you want to spend a pleasant day in joy and simplicity 🙏

A very enjoyable and worthwhile trip enhanced by our guide Enrico, we would highly recommend to everyone. - We were picked up from our Hotel at 0930 at the specified time. Our guide Enrico was Italian and spoke very good English, he was very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful especially when going up the richtis gorge to the mountain waterfall where I went for a dip in the cool water for some good photos. We visited an olive farm and had a taste session which was good the staff were all very friendly as well. The views from the Taverna where we stopped for lunch were amazing and the food was local and very nice. After lunch we headed to the ancient settlement and one of the oldest trees in the world. We didn’t feel we were rushed along and could stop and take photos when wanted. We arrived back at about 1730 after having a fantastic day and would thoroughly recommend this tour.

A great tour if you are interested in what locals are doing on the island, what history they have and what gets produced. - The tourguide was really nice and could answer all my questions about the island. The waterfall itself was very beautiful and we also got to see an ancient village, olive tree which was 9000 years old and got to taste some locally produced olive oil. All in all a really succesful and fun day. 😀👍

Very pleased. Weak point German leadership, unfortunately very little told - Very nice on the whole. A little too long waiting times. Hiking great. Lunch very good and delicious. Olive tasting unfortunately very short.

Would have had potential. Had none, though. - The guide Gaetan was nice and punctual. The tour went as described all day, but was personally not worth the money. Basically we had to drive an hour to the pick-up point and went straight to the waterfall (with a stopover in an olive oil manufactory where you should of course leave mighty money ..). Once there, nothing was explained to us, there was no herbal walk or similar. The guide ran ahead the whole time. All other points were fulfilled, but we didn't learn anything particularly interesting - instead, the guide talked constantly about himself and his future plans in the acting industry. So basically there were only two stops and little information about the island and the culture, the places you could explore well yourself and find us the information was just a Google search away. In addition, despite other description there was no water, this we had to get ourselves. All in all, I would not book again.
