Top trekking tour! - Thanks for a great tour! I thoroughly enjoyed it and George's insights into the island, its history and sharing some personal stories. A trekking tour is a must do if you want to explore a different side to Ios!

Amazing tour, great guide! - The tour was great! Easily worth the money and time spent. George went above and beyond with the service! The walk was great, we were shown a variety of archaeological, historical and cultural sites that helped you understand Ios more. George introduced us to some locals as well to give a bit more depth to what he was showing us. If you’re thinking of booking this I would 100% recommend it! You’ll go away knowing more about the island and the people of Ios.

George is the best! - I did Tour no.5 with George and it was everything I wanted. He offered to pick me up in the morning where he made me an espresso and let me try the breadsticks he got from the local bakery. The hike we completed was absolutely amazing, where George spoke about the history, the culture and everything in between. He introduced me to some of the local elders as well as his friends on the way and even got to try some of his homegrown figs (which I got to pick!) He is an amazing and passionate tour guide and person and I thoroughly enjoyed my hike with him!

Fantastic knowledgeable hike of Ios! - George was very knowledgeable about Ios. We had an amazing hike with him that was fantastic! We are so grateful to him for bringing the history of the Island to life. His dedication to his island is truly inspiring. Don’t miss the chance for a great hike and a beautiful sunset if you have the chance! His stories and gracious hosting were also very enjoyable. Thank you George!

Memorable trek with George - What a great excursion (10km) we had with George!! We greatly appreciated his perfect knowledge of the terrain, his great knowledge of the history of the Island of Ios, his great generosity and his personalized service. Not all guides do their job, like George, with as much passion...I recommend this tour without hesitation. Josée🥰

Ios sland trekking tour - This tour was such an amazing experience. I went with my husband to Greece, we are from New York and wanted to know more about Ios. George was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us many things about the island that we wouldn't have known otherwise. The views on this tour was spectacular and we were able to see the sunset as well. We definitely recommend him.
