An all around excellent experience - In truth, I struggle to find much to say, for such was the quality of this tour that I simply have no complaints or suggestions for improvement. So I shall say only this: if you have even a paying interest in the culture and history of Naxos then you would be doing yourself a great disservice by not going on this tour

Must do, when in Naxos. - Was a wonderful trip, Alex our guide was an encyclopedia of information about Naxos. The bus was luxurious and comfortable and the driver did an excellent job of navigating the crazy roads. I wish I did the full day, but our schedule didn't allow it.

A wonderful afternoon of culture and olives! - We had such a wonderful half day tour with NBT Excursions. Alex, the tour guide was so well informed and lovely, and spoke such impeccable English. This is a lovely tour in a clean and air conditioned bus. If you won't want to spend an entire day, this is perfect. We got to see Demeter's Temple, and visited Halki and Sangri. We also saw the Kouros statue and visited a really old church. The last part, stopping off at the Eggares Olive Press was awesome! We got to try some olives and bread and cake, and they were so delicious, we ended up buying lots. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and I highly recommend it.

Short but Sweet Overview of Naxos - I was traveling with my adult children, daughter-in-law and baby grandson. It was the perfect tour for us - good overview of Naxos but short enough to not be too taxing. I particularly liked the stop at the Olive Museum
