This off the beaten path tour of local villages with an exceptional local guide was a real highlight of our visit to Naxos. Mario knew the people and places and dropped loads of interesting information about the area throughout the journey. Olive oil tasting and tour exceeded expectations. Great personable guide, at the ready to happily snap some pics, made for a top notch experience.
Our trip was very personalised and was a wonderful look around the three villages with a nice coffer stop in traditional old cafe.
Aldo was a great tour guide-he was born in Naxos and is very knowledgeable about the island. We had a relaxing tour of the island that was customized to our preferences. We also had time to shop in some stores that had interesting locally produced souvenirs. Additionally we had tastings at 2 different locations of local produced liqueurs. Highly recommend this tour!
Mario was the best! Very knowledgeable and we had so much fun touring the other villages. Mario was top tier, we enjoyed him thouroughly!🫶 10/10 -Lindsey and Rylie💗
We went for a private village tour yesterday with Mario and we had an excellent time. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and super nice. All the villages were pretty special and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Mario for the warm welcome on your beautiful island and all the kind people. We are grateful and feels so lucky to have this experience. Until next time. Thanks again Mario.
Knowledgeable guide, arrived on time and was very polite. The whole family had a great time. Would definitely book them again. Thank you!
Great to see some of the local villages and culture and not only the busy port and old town and tourist areas. Beautiful scenery and fresh air. Our driver and guide Aldo was excellent, knowledgeable and very easy to chat with.
