This was a very good coach trip around Kephalonia. You get to see some amazing sites. Could feel a little rushed at times. Didn't want to visit the shop at the end of the day...which was unscheduled.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the amazing sites around Kefalonia and had a good overall experience. We also appreciate your comments about the pace of the tour and the stop at the shop at the end of the day—this kind of feedback is very helpful and will be shared with our team for review. We hope to welcome you again for an even better experience in the future!
Excellent trip, barring having to go to Argostolli on a feeder minibus from Skala, where we picked up the main coach. Maria was our host, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sights and places we visited. The robola winery and monastery were our first port of call, then the Drogarati cave, followed by a photo stop at Myrtos. It was then off to the north of the island and Fiskardo fo 90 minutes lunch and sight-seeing. Then back on the coach to Mesallini Lake. A more direct route was made to get us back to Poros and Skala instead of going back to Argostolli.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent tour with us! We're so glad to hear that you had an excellent trip and enjoyed the sights and experiences. We truly appreciate your kind words about Maria, our host. It's great to know she made your journey more enjoyable with her friendly demeanor and knowledge of the island. We also understand that the feeder minibus from Skala to Argostoli wasn’t the most convenient part of your experience, and we’ll take that into consideration for future tours. We’re happy to hear that the rest of the trip made up for it, especially the visits to the Robola Winery, Drogarati Cave, Myrtos Beach, and Fiskardo. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!
An excellent way to experience the rich heritage, of a beautiful Island. We could not have wished for a more interesting, informative, knowledgeable tour guide. Maria was the best!! Her and Dimetrie, the coach driver, were so helpful and efficient, the dream team. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed exploring the island’s heritage with Maria and Dimetris. They truly make an exceptional team, ensuring every journey is insightful and smooth. We’ll be sure to pass on your praise to them! We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure!
A great day with some stunning scenery. From the tranquility of the monastery to the wine tasting and onward visits to the caves and the beautiful lake it’s a great tour with plenty of photo opportunities. Then lunch at Fiscardo was the icing on the cake. Wear appropriate clothing for the monastery as ladies can’t go in wearing shorts and uncovered shoulders. Men knee length shorts. Wear sensible footwear for the caves and underground lake. Take euros you will need some in places for entry fees. Take a hat. No shade in places and it gets hot out there. Especially after the excellent wine tasting.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you had such a memorable experience, from the serene monastery to the breathtaking caves and lake. Your practical tips will certainly help future visitors prepare for their journey. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!

This is the first time I have not been happy with a Viator excursion. I had booked Kefalonia Highlights. What I got was Kefalonia island Tour. I was advised the evening before I would be picked up at 7.50. Bit surprised I responded to the text to check. I expected to be picked up at 9am. Was then told they could only get a big bus! It would have been better had I been advised beforehand. Hotel breakfast doesn’t open until 8am. Therefore we went without! We were picked up in Skala 15 minutes late (we could’ve had a coffee and pastry). We had to change buses in a lay-by along the way. Picking up in a few places as we went. 2 hours later we arrive in Argostoli to pick up. After our journey as far as Argostoli it would have been nice to have been given a comfort break. Didn’t happen! We then started the Island Tour. Going to a Monastery here was the first opportunity to use a loo. These were disgusting!! Doors didn’t lock, no tissue in any toilet cubicle or liquid soap for hand washing. We then continued to the Robola wine tasting, not very impressed, then on to Dragorati Caves and Melissani Lake. Then carrying on our journey to Fiscardo. We had a photo stop above Myrtos Beach - breathtaking. We arrived in Fiscardo at 2pm. We were given 1.5 hours and advised we had to be back on the coach for 3.30. An hour and a half was not long enough in my view because we needed a drink and something to eat. By the time lunch was ordered and eaten we had 30 minutes to look round Fiscardo. We left Fiscardo for the journey back. We arrived at Argostoli and were then transferred to another coach again for the 1.5 hours back to Skala. We arrived back at our hotel at 6pm. Whilst the Guide and our Coach driver were lovely. Guide was very informative. I would advise anyone NOT to do this excursion if you are staying in Skala. You are the wrong side of the island.
