Great way to learn more of the history, geography and local culture - We really enjoyed our tour today. We visited a variety of places, including a monestry, some old villages, a hidden waterfall and the main town. We heard a great deal about the history of the island and life here now. All explained in a friendly, easy going way by our driver/guide. The group was small enough to have all our questions answered and to flex for individual needs. We have a much better appreciation of the island and its history after just a few hours on the trip.

A wonderful, passionate tour guide - What a great tour. Savvas made the tour interesting, informative and helped us gain a perspective of Andros we could not have achieved without his guidance. He is passionate about what he does, and his love for the island is very evident. We saw many of the sights of the island, had a few minutes of free time in Andros Town and had a very memorable day.

Wonderful private tour of a diverse range of beautiful Andros sites - We took a five hour tour to a couple mountain springs, the Panachrantou monastery, the Pithara waterfalls, a taverna in Minutes, and several high elevation viewpoints around Andros. Chantal was very flexible with the itinerary, inviting our feedback, and generous with her time. Highly recommended – we would not have had the same full understanding of this ancient, deeply resonant island without this tour.

Great tour with the perfect tour guide - This tour is a great way to get around the island and see the highlights including some that would be very difficult to access using public transport. Chantal was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent driver (on some tricky roads!). She was really flexible about where to take us and amended the trip based on our interests. We probably went over the time slot but never felt like we were rushed and also enjoyed a relaxing coffee at one of the stops.

Brilliant tour and guide! - We only had 3 days in Andros so decided to book this tour to give us a flavour of the island. Chantal our guide was superb. So knowledgable and a fantastic driver. She packed a lot into the 5 hours and it was great value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend it. Thank you Chantal!

Beautiful island 🏝️ - Wonderful experience! A perfect thing to do if you’re on on Andros for 1 day. You get to see all the beautiful areas of Andros and learn about the historical significance of the island.

Fantastic VLM travel tour - Our tour guide Chantal form VLM travel was amazing. She asked what we wanted to do as she can tailor the tour to whatever is of interest to you. She drove us to the waterfall, caves and we visited Batsi. She can offer hiking tours if that’s what you would prefer. Thank you Chantal for your company.

Interesting and safe experience that shows you a unique part of the island - A fascinating half-day tour of some quaint and unique places on the island of Andros. Our guide, Savvas, was a careful driver and knew the island inside and out, giving us information about everything we came across in the tour. In only a few hours and with a small amount of easy hiking suitable for everyone, we managed to get a glimpse of the variety of activities and landscapes the island has to offer.

Underwhelming for the price paid - Booked with VLM Travel but their office here in Andros is still closed & they passed our booking onto a different travel agency. Our half day tour should have been over 5 hours but it didn’t even take 4 hours. After having done many other tours on different islands, this was underwhelming for the price. It just didn’t feel like there was much to do or see.
