Great way to see the city - This was a great way to learn about the history of Naxos City. Also a great way to learn your way around the twists and turns of the city, so I’d suggest doing it early in your visit. Vicky was fantastic and informative, and we loved spending extra time with her during the tasting after the tour. The tasting by the way, is basically a full meal! We really felt like this fulfilled our hopes of authentic Greek cuisine experience. Highly recommend!

The tasting was amazing - Went with my mom. The sunset was pretty spectacular, however very crowded but that’s out of anyone’s control. Our tour guide Vicky was amazing and a lot of fun to talk to, lots of history discussed which was imperative to the tour and the castle. After the sunset, we went to have dinner at such a delicious spot, can’t remember the name, but the food was bountiful and the company was great. I would recommend over and over. Especially if your a foodie :)

Excellent, knowledgeable, personal in that she was able to answer all our questions. The food tasting was great. - The pinnacle was reaching the Monument of Apollo at sunset. Our guide was impeccable on the timing. Our walk through Naxos Old Town was super educational.

Worth doing in Naxos - This was a lovely, laid back tour. Only 4 of us on it. It took around 1 hour 45. Guide kindly waited for someone who was at the incorrect meeting point. Guide took photos of us, and brought us all around the vast castle grounds in the town of Naxos and the Temple of Apollo.

Nice evening - This tour including a little walk, a view of the sunset and a little meal shared between the group was really nice. I had a lot of fun and the guide was very thoughtful and interesting!

Confusion Can Make a Good Story - Confusing start trying to find meeting place and then leaving a few people behind that we had to wait for the guide to find and get caught up. Then a last minute run up the hill for sunset at Apollo Arch. Otherwise Rena was informative and animated with her stories. We did one shot of citron liquor along the way.

Good tour of Hora! - Our tour guide, Vicki, was very knowledgeable, friendly and was able to answer any questions we had about the history of Naxos. I would highly recommend this tour to learn more about the history of Naxos, Hora and the Portara.

Too many people - I was very disappointed with this tour. We went to the designated meeting point and we spoke to a few people who passed us. They told us the meeting point changed. We were never notified!
Then, the tour was supposed to be for 10. The actual number was 19! It was way too large a group for this tour.
We heard about 50% of what the guide said. If you look at the locations visited, you could visit them yourself.

Cancelled - This was cancelled because the tour guide was sick. So we don’t know how it was. Only found out earlier the day of the tour.
