Amazing tour with Labrina!! - Labrina was an incredible guide!! So knowledgeable, and happy to answer any of our questions. We visited some beautiful spots with gorgeous views - especially the labyrinth around the castle - and enjoyed some delicious wine and cheese before going to the final location Apollo's gate. We had such a great time - thank you Labrina!! xx

Exceptional Tour in Naxos (Don’t Miss Out!) - Our guide Labrina was wonderful! She did an amazing job explaining the fascinating mythology of Naxos while weaving in historical information and information about wine. I don’t know if our trip to Naxos would have been as incredible as it was without her! We were able to see parts of Naxos that we didn’t know about as first time travelers to the island. We were so inspired by our tour, we visited a number of places again the next day. The wine tasting was a highlight as well. Highly recommend!!

Great walking tour with a fantastic guide. - This walking tour was wonderful, in great part to our delightful guide, Georgina. She was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely personable. The tour included Apollo’s temple, Naxos town and the Venetian castle. Georgina was a wealth of information and presented it in an interesting way. Note that there are lots of steps involved on this tour so wear good walking shoes. Highly recommend this tour.

Great experience in Naxos! - We did the private tour of Naxos town, the castle and Apollos portara for sunset. We had a wonderful guide named Georgina that was so sweet, patient and knowledgeable. We also added on a wine and cheese tasting which was worth to learn more about the island and its products. Totally recommend!!

Glad we took the tour - I’m so glad we took this tour. We learned a lot and saw things we wouldn’t have on our own. It gave us a better understanding of what Naxos is all about. The guide was engaging and her love of Naxos came through.

Excellent - We had a wonderful time with Katia. This tour took us through historic areas of the old town and familiarized us with the particular features of Naxos that have contributed to its thriving. Katia was informative, charming, and considerate. We highly recommend.

The only Naxos travel agent you will ever need. They are the best! - I just came back from an amazing 9 day family reunion (23 people) in Naxos, Greece. The trip was arranged and managed by Maria and Katia of Naxos Cultural Tours. My wife and I have traveled extensively all over the world and without hesitation I can say this was the best trip we ever had. Maria and Katia organized and managed all the details for our family reunion. From ferry arrivals, departures, all transportation, hotel rooms, meals, guides to Naxos old town and castle and also to off the bitten path locations like local farms and hikes among 1,000+ year old Olive orchards. If you are planning a trip to Naxos, Greece I highly recommend them, they are the best.

Great Tour - Katia was such an excellent tour guide. Not overloading us with extraneous information but just enough history & background to make sense. This tour was one of our highlights of our week on Naxos!
