Nikos was a very accommodating and good guide! We had to start late due to our ship not docking on time, and he was responsive and adaptable. He knew where we would like to go, and lol his decisions were spot-on.

Was very informative, and logistically it was a breeze. Definitely recommend!

Truly a great experience! We learned so much from our guide in the transfers that we felt prepared to go into the sites on our own.
