An excellent trip, although unfortunately the cruise element was cancelled but the whole experience was great. Fantastic driver, Johnathan was amazing on how he got the large coach around Ithaca. Alvenia our guide was also quite exceptional, fantastic knowledge and very pleasant. Great trip.

Bellissima esperienza.... Tutto molto bello e ben organizzato... La guida, Elvira, molto preparata, ci ha messo a nostro agio e si è sempre sincerata che tutto fosse ok... L'isola di Itaca stupenda... Dalla capitale Vathi a Kioni e Stavros... Anche il giro in barca è stato molto bello... Escursione consigliata
