Amazing Trip made by the Company

Paul_E, Jul 2026

Great experience we had today with a brilliant family run company. On arrival we were welcomed really well and set the tone of how good they were going to be. Took us up carefully and safely, providing great knowledge on the journey and info about the area and place we were visiting with some handy tips. All drivers/guides were so friendly with all the group and would really recommend you book a trip with them. A great way to see spectacular views and walk to Balos beach - little tricky walk but manageable for all the family. This beats hands down getting a ferry as hoards of people seem to continually get off and would reduce your time there. Book with these, brilliant throughout and made our day extra special.

Best way to experience Balos!

Fantastic day from start to finish. Everything waa flawless and great communication. The pickup point in Kissamos is easy to find and there are free parking lots nearby to park. Helpful tips: bring your sunscreen, hat, your own towels and water. We saw people do the hike in sandals but would recommend proper shoes as it is uneven terrain, rocks and loose dirt. I would not recommend this to anyone with mobility issues. The views from the 1st viewpoint are so impressive. A boat tour won't provide the views and experience that this tour offers. This is the perfect way to get in some exercise and enjoy the beauty of this lagoon. The local goats are adorable and will take food if you offer it. Great tour !

Amazing people and...

An excellent day with a top-notch team. The landscapes are magnificent throughout the Jeep ride, and the colors are magical. Arriving by land at Balos allows for a view from above before descending to the beach.

An unforgettable day

Balos is a beautiful place. Discovered in April it was ideal for walking, picnicking and swimming for the brave. Our drivers were very welcoming and caring for us. Leaving with this company was the perfect option: no stress for the ride, faster transport, explanations from drivers, friendly atmosphere

Beautiful!

We had a great afternoon. Ianis and his family welcomed us very warmly. Ianis (or Yanis?) was a very good driver, a perfect guide and it is an experience that we will gladly repeat and highly recommend. And the destination is simply magical (even if you have to make some effort but it is definitely worth it). Many thanks to you! 🤩
