The food was out of this world. plus…. all the beer and wine you want!”
Half-day quad bike safari from Rethymno with Maroulas off-road riding, shallow water, mountain views, coffee stops, and Prassies snacks.
“This was super fun! A ride up into the high mountains around Rethymno. Our guide was nice and kept a good eye to make sure everyone was OK. Biggest tip is to buy the buffs they sell for 2 bucks. There is a lot of dirt along the way and the people that didn't have them were having a hard time.”
Half-day Athens coach tour with Acropolis tickets, guided walk for the Parthenon, and an upgrade option for the Acropolis Museum.
“There is a lot of driving around and the tour guide is not good at keeping the group together. Too many at one time for her to handle”

Even if you don’t like to cook it was so enjoyable for all! We loved the wine and the breaking plates and dancing as well! Oh and of course we loved Grace the pup!”

Half-day Zakynthos tour to Navagio Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, and White Beach, plus an olive tree stop and local tastings.
“This is a great tour that gives you a very good overall view of the whole island. Zack was informative, fun and knew a lot of little hidden places. It says in the description 6hrs with hotel pick up but it’s longer than that. I realized that and was ready to give up on the tour as I was in Zakintos with a ship sailing out at 4:30pm. When Zak heard that he organized a private transfer to take me back to the pier. Thanks to him I now know Zakintos, yet didn’t miss the ship :-) much appreciated and when I’m back on Zakintos I will book again with…”

The round trip taxi service was fairly priced, the driver arrived in time & was very friendly and accommodating. The boat was lovely & the crew Ilias & Nikiforas were fantastic. Really friendly& welcoming guys. Dia Island was beautiful & the journey to and from the island was equally as enjoyable. All round a perfect excursion and well worth the money. Thank you”
