“Can’t write a review for a tour you didn’t get. We were on a ship so didn’t get the call they tried to put through after we would have already left for the tour only to be told that our bus left an hour earlier than scheduled! So they just assigned us to another tour that was nothing like we booked and we were not alone.”

“I really had a great time visiting all these places - despite the mosquitoes 😅 and the beach was the best I visited here so far, it is my new favorite 😊 it was cool, because only two more people were attending, so it was really exclusive and private. Georgios did a great job, he even sang for us - thank you for that pretty perfect day! ☀️”

“Electra was an absolute joy to spend an evening with, learning about the history of her town. Beautiful person inside and out. Our private tour was expertly curated through all points of the town. Her pace and delivery allowed for a relaxing but thorough experience. Our Saturday evening had all the locals out. She is obviously a beloved fixture in town by the greetings throughout our walk. Heartwarming experience. I highly recommend this tour at any opportunity. I was able to do this the first evening in town and it set a perfect foundation of historical, logistical, and connection that permeated the days that followed. Thank you Electra!”
