Excellent tour to see the main sites of Naxos - This was wonderful tour. We learned all about the marble production and carving methods in ancient times. I really liked the visit to the old town (Halki, I believe) and the visit to the small church. Our group was well treated. Our guide at times was hard to understand, however was very knowledgeable about the area and made sure we all felt satisfied with the content of the tour.

Good experience - we were really impressed with this tour. Yes, you are on a bus with a lot of people, but they do a good job of taking you to the sites and giving you time to explore. For the money, it is unbeatable

Incredible. So glad we chose this tour - Recommended by Zoe at our hotel, Alkyoni Beach Hotel - this was such a great day Picked up just a short walk from the hotel, Alex our guide and William, our driver, gave us a truely memorable time. So much to see, the trip was so well planned Never rushed. Time to see the main sights and fantastic scenery while we were moving Special mention of our driver. Some of the mountain roads are exciting’ to say the least! Never a worry…. Alex also had knowledge way beyond the normal tour guide A real memory

A great introduction to the culture (ancient and modern) of Naxos island. - A great introduction to the culture (ancient and modern) of Naxos island. A full day that was carefully curated and enthusiastically explained by the guide Dimitris. Visits to a temple, a citron distillery for tasting and a demonstration of throwing pots. The driver was excellent and given the winding roads very safe.

Overall very nice - The bus was old and the armrests on our seats were broken. The guide was excellent. The stop for lunch was in a small town with really nothing to do. The lunch break should be in the Town before where there was more to do and better lunch options.

Mass tourism - It's a good tour because if you don't already have a car or don't want to rent one and sightsee on your own, you have no other option but these bus tours. Naxos is an island that has chosen to be a mid-budget family type of tourism. But doing it as mass tourism is not a commercial success. Stuffing people into several buses at the same time and keeping them in the same places at the same time means, for example, cramming hundreds of people into the same olive oil pressing area, or trying to see Kauros with at least eighty people and waiting for another hundred to eat. Time scheduling shouldn't be that difficult. Other than that, the drivers and guides are doing their best.

A visit that is not worth it - Not much to see, apart from the price for the quality of the tour, the only positive thing, the driver drove very carefully

Deception about the goods - We chose this excursion because it had to have a Guide speaking French. Now the Guide did not speak a word of French. it is clearly a deception about the goods.
