Exceptional, enjoyable tour - Sandra was fantastic! Our group completely enjoyed our walking tour with Sandra. She was fun and very knowledgeable about Argostoli. We learned a lot about the people and culture . Highly recommend the walking tour and hopefully you have Sandra as your guide. You will enjoy her.

Excellent tour away from the crowds - Great shore excursion option. We were not in competition with the larger tours. Pickup was a bit chaotic, but we all found eachother and got off on time. Eva was a great guide - very pleasant and informative and made sure we all were on track without feeling pushed or rushed. I loved the sites chosen, especially the views from the fortress on the peak.

Comfortable trip with sights and history - As well as seeing the promised sights, we learned much about the island. Who knew there are wild horses here! Friendly tour guide, accessible to all abilities and not too long.

Visited on a cruise - Our MSC cruise stopped in this port and following the beautiful seafront we arrived in the center. Nice center with clubs and souvenir shops. We also saw sea turtles and fishermen.

Nothing relevant to see... - Nothing relevant to see with this tour. We would rather visiting caves or beaches in Argostoli. The driver and guide tour were nice and the car was comfortable, just it was hot and the car AC didn’t work well.

Photograph of Argostoli from the other shore. - It is a walk that allows you to have a panoramic view from the other shore of Argostoli. It is the longest stone bridge in Europe. If you go at sunset you can take a nice photograph of Argostoli with the lights on.

Trip no happen! - The trip as advertised was cancelled last minute due to low participants. However, Mark the travel rep decided to try and do as much as he could for us. So we were driven from Hotel pericles in Sami to Argostoli at 9am. We got to see turtles at the harbour which was the main part of the trip. We walked along the kourakas lagoon then into a church. Had a croissant at the old bakery and certainly smelt the coffee coming off the cafes. Apparently burning the coffee beans gets rid of mosquitoes and wasps. We got to do some shopping and took loads of pictures. Unfortunately at 39 oC feel like 44oC it really was too hot and no wonder there was no one else doing the tour. But still lots of tourists in Argostoli. We got to be driven back as well which if we done ourselves would have cost 50euros each way so good value from that point. Also had to find pharmacy for wife's heat rash which was hard as they close at 2pm for siesta. All in all we achieved our goals but as trip was cancelled can only give 3 stars. Sorry guys. Mark was really good with us and he deserves a pat on the back.
