We had an amazing tour with George in Zakynthos. He was engaging, courteous, flexible and knowledgeable. We were able to see so much of the island on land and by boat. We had a wonderful time and George did his best to make sure we were enjoying our tour. He also took some amazing photos and videos that he sent us after the tour. 100% recommended. We can't wait to come back and book him again.

The tour was fantastic. We were able to enjoy a customized tour throughout the day — starting with a great view of the shipwreck. We also enjoyed the swim stops at beautiful beaches. George made sure to tailor the tour to us and find calmer waters and beaches which was very nice. He was also very prepared with water shoes if we need and with great tips and advice about anything in Zakynthos. We highly recommend both the North and South side of Zakynthos tours over 2 days to truly explore the beauty of the island.

This was the most amazing tour! George was an incredible driver and showed us the coolest caves and hidden beaches!! We were so lucky to have him! Definitely do this tour if you want to see the hidden gems of Zakynthos!

George picked us up and took us to the major scenic points on the island via car for photos opps Then we enjoyed a boat trip to beautiful caves and beaches including Shipwreck Beach and had the opportunity to swim multiple times. We then visited other scenic points and called it a day. George provided all the accoutrements necessary including drone footage of us at the viewing points for Shipwreck Beach. It was an extremely enjoyable day and George was a great host.

We highly recommend this tour with George if you visit the island of Zakynthos. George brought us to all the popular sites on the island but he made it much easier since he is so familiar with the area and the locals. We have beautiful pictures that he took of us at shipwreck beach and a drone video which was just so unexpected.
We also went to many areas which we would have not know about if we hadn't been with George.
George is very accommodating. He picked us up at our Villa in a comfortable vehicle. He made sure that we had everything we needed for a perfect day that went all to quickly. In the evening we ended up at a Greek restaurant with a beautiful view. We went by all of George's recommendation and were not disappointed.
Professional, knowledgeable, and just a lot of fun. This tour is a great choice.

Our tour with Andonis was absolutely perfect! He was very attentive and made us feel very comfortable even through a rainstorm while on the boat. We had a full day, had some great local espresso and giros that were out of this world! Our schedule was kept perfectly with fun, laughs and singing along the way. Would highly recommend the tour as both he and George were very communicative and clear. Fantastic day!

We had the best time with Andonis! He showed us around the island and we got to see so many places that we normally would never see on a cruise excursion. He was a wonderful guide and we learned so much about this beautiful island. We hope to return some day, and we will be staying in touch with Andonis! Thanks again for a wonderful tour!

I know I told them I would give them a 10 but that would not even be close. Would rate this tour MULTIPLE 5 star!!!!! They take care of you from the moment you book till they drop you off. Very good communication between the operator George, checking out updates on your trip until the day of your tour to see if there will be issues that would affect the actual day of the tour. And if there are issues he is very thoughtful to think of possible solutions. George was already booked with another group so his partner Andonis took over as our personal guide instead. Andonis was also very awesome. The moment you get into his vehicle there was banana and napkin and water ready for each of us and on top of that, he had a cooler bag with picnic food and drinks available for us so it was like a family picnic because we really interacted like friends/ family. He brought us to very beautiful instagrammable spots in our itinerary. He took very good pictures and also gave us enough time to take pictures and videos ourselves. He is also a boy scout. He has stuff available in his car for minor needs like wipes just in case water is not available for handwashing. Zakynthos is beyond gorgeous and we truly experienced it at its best on this tour. We came home very fulfilled having accomplished everything that we hoped to accomplish and more. Thank you George and Andonis! Most highly recommended!

From the moment we made our booking many months before our trip we were contacted by Georgio.
Giorgio's communication was prompt, professional and made us feel at ease.
A couple of days before our tour we were given an exact location to meet and was told that Georgio's right hand man Andonis was to run the tour for us. Again communication was spot on.
Apon meeting Adonis and having a quick chat it was clear to us that the day was ours to do as we wished. In fact Adonis treated us like family. Being a born and bred local Adonis's proud knowledge of his homeland is second to none.
From the best local coffee to the best food and sightseeing spots Andonis has it all ready to share. We ate and swam at Port Limnionas Beach, visited an olive oil factory, viewed a 2000 year old olive tree, stopped off at Navagio Beach lookout and more without once feeling rushed.
All this combined with the fact that we were in a group of four close friends made the experience unforgettable.
In fact we are making plans to see the Ionian Islands one day with Zakynthos being an extended port of call.
The only difference is that on our next trip we will be calling in on Georgio and Andonis as friends.
Thanks Gentlemen you were faultless.
Until we meet again.
Cheers.

I highly recommend this private tour as a must-do experience! Our guide, George, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He provided us with a fantastic day in Zakynthos by teaching us about history, art, culture, and much more. This tour is definitely worth it and won't disappoint. Thank you, George, for an unforgettable day!
Neil_M, Aug 2023
We had an amazing day with Anthony, he was very prompt on pick up and gave us an excellent tour of the island, actually going above what we paid for. He gave us so much information about the island showing us places that a general tour wouldn’t give, Couldn’t fault anything and would highly recommend booking this trip
Niki_T, Jul 2023
We had such a wonderful tour of Zakynthos. We absolutely fell in love with this island's beauty, and that was largely in part of our amazing driver Antonis! He asked us what we'd like to see and was very accommodating in taking us to some of the most beautiful places on the island. Our pictures turned out breathtaking! I would highly recommend this tour and make sure you ask for Antonis!!!
TimothyP_C, May 2023
What a fun day!! Antony was awesome - not a tour guide, but a friend showing us his home island. The tour was pretty much as described. The boat ride (3 hours) could have been a little shorter (the blue caves are awesome...but the last 30 mins or so was too much). But what made the tour special, was Antony. He was always accommodating, always fun, always helpful. I think he enjoyed the day as much as we did. By the end of the day we had a great experience and a new friend. Definitely would recommend this to everyone.
asrielsebastianjr, May 2023
Definitely recommend, was an amazing experience and we loved every minute of it. Andonis was the best tour guide ever. Very friendly and thoughtful and took us to all the best spots. We couldn’t ask for more.

The tour with George was amazing. He is just a great host, knowledgeable, very easy to communicate with and with great attention to details - taking care of his guests even before the start and all the way to the end of the tour. He is fully equipped with everything needed for the tour and also provides drinks and food. In addition to this, he brings a Go-Pro Cam as well as a drone for which you get a USB-stick with the pictures/videos taken as George captures all the great moments along the tour.
We spent a great day with George and he was very accomodating to our needs and interests. We even were able to alter the tour slightly as we decided to go visit Shipwreck beach by private speedboat instead of a group tour boat. This added some great value to our tour as George showed us multiple caves along the way and brought us to a small „private“ beach were we could bath and enjoy the sun.
After the boat trip, he brought us to a place overlooking the sea and providing great insight into the Greek hospitality by lunching at the small local tavern on the coast before continue driving south and showing some of the island‘s highlights there.
We HIGHLY recommend going on a tour with George any time - and since he offers multiple kind of tours (also multiple day-tours) he will sure by our guide of choice next time we make it to Zakynthos.
Alana_W, May 2022
Great guy.. easy communication to confirm pick up times wtc
very relaxed and free to see what you want or not.
Suhaila_P, May 2022
Me and my friends are very happy and grateful for the amazing day we had with our tour guide George! He was kind, polite and made sure we had a great day! He took us to the most amazing parts of the island that if we were going on our own we would never know how to get there. He took great pictures and video’s for us. He had snacks and beverages for our long day. The boat ride to the shipwreck was great, the viewpoint and every other place/beach we visited was breathtaking! So if you are going to Zakynthos and you want a great experience you should book George for the best experience/tour ever! Thankyou again George, xo Nishely

This was absolutely the best way to enjoy the beauty of Zakynthos. Giorgio was very communicative and set us up nicely. Andonis (Antony), our guide for the day, was absolutely wonderful - it was like we were friends visiting and he was showing off his home. He gave us snacks he'd made himself, and drove us in his own car. Of course we hit up the famous shipwreck beach (where he probably saved me from drowning - gotta watch those riptides lol), but he also took us to some really cool places on the island we'd never have found on our own. He was very chill and easy to be around - you will feel very comfortable. It was our best day on the trip. We followed up on his food restaurant the next day and it was also the best food we had! Grab this experience while you can - you won't regret it.
Response from Host, May 2022
Thank you so much for your kind words. You were amazing guests. It was our pleasure meeting you both.

Tout était parfait, meilleur que ce à quoi je m'attendais, c'est le meilleur guide que nous avons eu jusqu'à présent.
Disponible, puis étant avec des jumelles d'un an, il a été très attentionné, patient.
Nous a offert des apéritifs au déjeuner. Et il a prit de superbes vidéos et photos qui resteront gravés à jamais. Merci pour tout.

George was fantastisch! De tour was enorm leuk, heel veel van het eiland gezien. De boot tour kon helaas niet doorgaan vanwege de hoge golven, maar dit is van te voren goed en vriendelijk gecommuniceerd. Tijdens de dag zelfs is er zelfs nog contact geweest met het bedrijf om te informeren of het alsnog door kon gaan. Daarvoor in de plaats hebben we een uitgebreide tour gehad, van alle gemakken voorzien, hapjes en drankjes. Bij twijfel, zeker doen! Je gaat er geen spijt van krijgen.
