Great value! - This tour was really worth it for the money. Our guides were really nice and knowledgeable about the area and we had a lot of stops along the way. The vehicle was super comfortable and air conditioned. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to see more of Naxos!

Wonderful way to get to know the Island of Naxos - Very knowledgable and friendly guide.
Interesting points of interest as well as lunch stops.
Some narrow, twisting roads, but a very skilled bus driver.

Great value - I am not a fan of big bus tours, however, this one was a great deal. You really get to see a lot of sites and I probably would not have ventured t them on my own. It was a fabulous value. The pick up and drop off are convenient and the tour guide was entertaining and informative.

A great way to see around Naxos without a car. - This tour was a great way to see a variety of what Naxos has to offer. There were plenty of stops and some amazing scenery. Our guide, Nicholas, was great, with a good sense of humour. The tour organiser has obviously listened to previous reviews as we had a great stop at the Temple of Demeter and good stops for coffee and lunch as well as lots of interesting information about what we were seeing. The next to last stop at the beach for coffee was beautiful and there is a great little silver shop there too!

Tip Top Tour - A great way to get a scenic and informative introduction to Naxos. Nick and driver dimitri are pros. I would never attempt these roads on my own. Highly recommended

Mythology, history, and in depth experiences from our guide. - Nikos brings his Naxian heart and blends his knowledge of the history of this island with local legend, (such as explaining the reason for the seasons mythologically and romantically), and with his full life experience (he has such passion for his hometown, his life's work and businesses-raising roosters, running two restaurants, mining emery, etc) this is an event filled tour. I enjoyed the swim in Apollon, tasting the Kitron, and marveling at the town made of marble. There are marble quarries on Naxos! Enjoy!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic tour and a highlight of our Greek holiday. Several interesting stops and unlike a similar tour on another island the pace on this tour was spot on, always the right amount of time at each stop. The food and coffee recommendations from Nico were excellent. Would def recommend

An interesting tour of Naxos, beyond Chora! - Well organised and Joseph was a great guide, friendly enough and knowledgable throughout. However, there were a few photo stops where the tour bus parked in quite precarious spots, on roads with sharp bends, blind spots when trying to cross and and fast unpredictable traffic.
On one particular occasion Joseph didn't communicate whether to stay where we were or cross over to wait for the tour vehicle to pick us up again where it had dropped us off. Upon following him to the other side of the road - which he crossed (leaving the rest of us on the other side) he muttered something about me/us being his shadow . Rather unprofessional comment to mak, particularly when your job is th 'guide' and lead the group (bizarre) not to mention a demonstration of incompetence in terms of communication and road safety.
On a more positive note, the little villages are beautiful, a refreshing contrast to Santorini if you've been there prior.
