Sights great and driver brilliant. - Thank you George. We had a great time and you adapted to save us queues at the lake. What a day kids and adults loved it and George went out of his way to inform and entertain us. Loved it.

Lovely day - highly recommended - Harris was an excellent tour guide, informative but also “chill” so we could enjoy a relaxing day. Kephonia is a beautiful island with so many breathtaking views. Although it was a little cold we were able to dip our toes in the Ionian Sea at Myrtos Beaxh. Now that’s a beautiful beach, but be sore to bring your aqua shoes because it’s very rocky. It was a lovely experience and we highly recommend it.

Great day in Kefalonia! - A wonderful day with Kefalonia. George was very accommodating and catered the trip to our wants/needs. He is a very kind, informative guide that made our family feel comfortable. Messalini Cave was a unique, beautiful site, and we also enjoyed our stop at the quaint coastal village, Agia Efimia. The highlight was a great afternoon on Myrtos Beach. A lovely, clean beach with stunning water.

Fabulous experience!! - We had a fantastic time. George picked us up right on time and took us to both caves and a stop in Agia Efimia for an authentic Greek lunch that we all really enjoyed. Then we had a nice swim at Myrtos beach which is beautiful but the water closets were not open, but we made do. George was very attentive to all our questions and provided wonderful background information on the island and Greek life here. We stopped at a few places to take photos of this very beautiful island. George is our new best friend and we would highly recommend him for your tour guide and transportation. We love George, thank you so much for our wonderful day on KEFALONIA!!!!

Fantastic tour! - We had an amazing day seeing the caves of Kefalonia and swimming at Myrtos beach. The views were stunning and everything we did was so much fun. Our driver George was excellent; he was friendly and made us feel really comfortable and safe. He had very good knowledge of the island as well so we felt we got the most out of our tour. Great value for money and would highly recommend to anyone!

Beach is worth the trip! - Myrtos beach was stunning and a must see. We had some rough experiences with a thunderstorm that limited our beach trip to maybe 30 minutes, and bad timing with a ridiculous line of people from 5 full size buses arriving at Melissani Cave before us, causing a 90 minute wait, so we skipped that experience. George was a good guide and made the best of it. He recommended a great place for lunch while we rode out the thunderstorm. So the 4 stars doesn’t reflect on the tour, guide, or weather (uncontrollable), as much as the overcrowding of tourists causing the delays. But I also recognize I was a cruise tourist contributing to those delays. Still worth it though, and no regrets. The private experience was better than a full size bus, since George catered specifically to us. Just a warning to others to expect timing issues.

Best way to see the caves and Myrtos Beach - We booked a private half day tour as some tours were all day long and busy. The knowledgeable (and good-looking!) Spiros collected us from our hotel in his air conditioned car. His English was impeccable and he was eager to inform us about his home island of Kefalonia and was equally interested in the UK and asked us questions. Our first stop was the Drogarati Cave which was an incredible sight, a natural cathedral as it were (see my review of Trip Advisor). Spiros was happy to let us take our time whilst he waited in the well equipped cafe on site. Next up was a drive to the famous blue waters of Melissani. This is expensive for what you get, 10€ for what is effectively a 15-20 minute boat trip in a water filled cave. Very beautiful but a bit of a tourist trap. Think of a Greek version of the Venetian gondoliers, which aren't cheap either. We were fortunate as we arrived just before lunchtime so the queue was minimal but Spiros informed us that at the height of the tourist season, you can expect to wait up to an hour in the blazing sun, with no shelter provided, for the 15 minute boat ride. Spiros was rather scathing that despite the clearly large takings from the tourists for the boat trip and the very large gift shop , the people who ran and profited handsomely did not provide shade or water for the daily influx of visitors. This annoyed him as proud Greek trying to make a living providing trips for foreign visitors.
Next up was the famous white beach and azure sea of Myrtos. Spiros was able to drive down the narrow twisting road to the beach itself and was happy to wait for as long as we wanted but was again annoyed that, despite the season being open, the facilities such as toilets, beach bar and the beds & parasols weren't open yet, and he felt he was letting us down by us not getting the full beach experience.( see my Myrtos review on TA). Spiros then took us he long way back to our hotel over the central mountain raad and what a spectacular drive it turned out to be. He was really helpful and friendly and full of local knowledge about the best tavernas or restaurants.
I would happily recommend this tour as you get to see the island and the above mentioned sights with an excellent guide. Ask for Spiros when you book.
