We had an amazing time, and honestly this excursion was probably the highlight of our trip! Leo was the best guide and made sure we felt we had a VIP experience! He is also a great photographer and is very knowledgeable of the island! Would highly recommend this trip and will be back booking this again! Thank you so much!

Trevor_E, Aug 2025

Pyros was our guide and he was great!! Brought us up close to the best views on the water and land!!

Great day trip

Laura_L, Jul 2025

If you want to experience a lot in just one day, I’d definitely recommend this trip. We were out and about from early morning until late afternoon and had an excellent tour guide. Truly recommended!

Pick up and drop off from...

martin_o, Jul 2025

Pick up and drop off from your accommodation, it's a long day so get to see lots, but the boat trip is not included in the price, still a very nice day.

From Vista Overlook to Sea Cave Exploring!

Mark_H, Jun 2025

Amazing, well-planned day of activities. Highlight was the overlook of shipwreck beach. Spiros was an amazing tour guide! His offer of capturing the scene via drone footage saved the experience as a lifetime memory! Definitely worth the EUR10 for that! 2-hour midday boat cruise of shipwreck beach and nearby blue caves was fantastic, followed by a delicious lunch. Arrived back at the resort late afternoon following a truly special and totally satisfying day! Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour…Best day of our honeymoon!

Christopher_C, Oct 2024

Would 100% recommend this tour. We looked for ages on here to pick a tour and were not disappointed. We were here on our honeymoon and Theo made the day perfect! He took the time to explain the history of things we saw, helped us to get the best pictures and made the day fun. If you’re wondering which tour to book, book this one!

Perfect small group with the best guide

Chris_L, Oct 2024

Hands down an excellent day. 11/10. The guide was excellent, personable knowledgeable and made sure he delivered a tailored trip for the three of us to experience. We beat the crowds to the major sites and the day was perfect. We were treated to his personal favorate local taverna in Zante and had the best meal to finish the day Book this small group tour and avoid the circus of buses and crowds.

Waters there are beautiful but tour was stressful

Pam_S, Sep 2024

Tour guide and boat captain were great and captain personally got us back to our cruise ship barely on time. We booked a full day excursion- when I saw we would not be n port as long as the tour was scheduled I sent a message with my concern, and was told no problem, everyone on this tour was from our ship. Actually we were the only ones from our ship and we made 3 other stops around the island picking up people before heading to the blue caves. We were unable to complete anything else but the boat ride as too much time was already consumed i wish when I asked they would have been honest and asked us to rebook a half day tour and/or see that it was just people from our ship. I was worried and stressed the whole time that we would not make it back to the ship. Makes me concerned to book other tours.

Good tour but missed Cameo island

Lily_R, Sep 2024

Spiros was a great guide, played good music in the mini bus, shared great information about each stop. A long day but packed with places to see, the only disappointment was they missed Cameo Island. False advertisement when you show it on the pictures, we weren’t very happy about this but other than that it was a good tour.

Amazing

Arden_F, Sep 2024

Loved this. Our guide was demitiri he was amazing so knowledgeable. Very engaging tour and got amazing pictures. Would recommend

Great Tour-highly recommend

Kristen_H, Sep 2024

We had a last minute change of plans do to incoming weather and decided to do the tour a day earlier and we were a last.minute addition to their itinerary for the day. The tour started earlier because of incoming weather but that was fine, we're ready to go and within walking distance to the meeting point. Eraldo was our guide and fantastic! He got us to our destinations throughout the day safely and was very friendly. The sites themselves were beautiful and it was a great tour. It actually did rain when we were on the boat but you couldn't tell it was raining in the pictures. The water was still beautifully blue and sand so white! Swimming was fun and being in that beautiful blue water was just what we needed. The fun facts provided by eraldo were also very interesting. We definitely would do this tour again. 5/5 highly recommend.

BEST DAY TOUR

Simone_R, Sep 2024

Dimitris was an amazing tour guide! We saw all the prime sites of Zakynthos is 9 hours and Mario (the boat captain) took us to the most beautiful caves to swim and snorkel. We stopped at a local tavern and enjoyed Greek cuisine. He also took us to some of the most beautiful photo spots and throughout the tour thought us about the beautiful island and its history! 10/10 recommended

Brilliant tour and well worth the money

Daniel_C, Sep 2024

The tour was really good and included more stops than I expected. Picked up in a 15 seater mini bus which is so much better than a coach with 60+ people. Swimming in the blue caves was amazing. Worth taking swimming googles with you as the water is very salty here - but also very clear when looking under (which is pretty awesome in the caves). Tour guide/driver was really good. I would definitely recommend this tour. Bring water (one bottle is provided though), sun cream, and your swimming kit.

Amazing trip to see the best of Zakynthos

Nicola_J, Aug 2024

Wonderful trip exploring different parts of the island. Amazing boat trip, swimming in the blue caves and seeing the shipwreck. Really well organised and a great host Petros.

Beautiful Water

Bryan_P, Jul 2024

The water was absolutely beautiful and refreshing to swim in. We had never swam in such a beautiful place. The boat operators were very friendly and our transportation drivers were fantastic and friendly. The hike out to the point was about 7 min each way. I would definitely recommend booking a tour again. Thanks!

Amazing

AnaMaria_M, Jul 2024

Everything we saw was breathtaking but the best part was our tour guide Mitsos and how he explained every detail to the fullest. He had a wonderful personality which made the whole trip a memorable experience. I highly recommend it

Zakynthos island tour

Christina_L, Jul 2024

We had a great time on the VIP tour. We enjoyed that we got to see all of Zakynthos from the bus. The tour guide gave us all the history of many areas in Zakynthos. We also went to a few beaches before heading into the boat tour. Seeing the blue caves Naviago beach with the stops to get out in the water was really enjoyable. I recommend water shoes in a few spots. We would highly recommend it.

Caring Guides, beautiful views

Ryan_T, Jul 2024

Saint Theo - we not only had an AMAZING TOUR with lots of swimming and sites, the guide Theo heard we had a ferry to catch and made sure we made it with minutes to spare. Cannot be more grateful for a great time, great views and a guide who truly cared about all parts of our experience

Excellent

Tracy_G, Jul 2024

A great trip to explore the island by car and boat our guide Demetrius was knowledgeable and friendly 👍

Great day out on the water

Kirsten_S, Jul 2024

We had a great day with Sakis. He was a fun guide and made our time in the water fun and adventurous. The swimming spots were absolutely beautiful. Only disappointing part was the lookout for shipwreck beach was closed (by authorities due to fire risk). It would have been good to know before that this is a common problem. Otherwise a fabulous day

The tour was amazing! We...

Alan_B, Jun 2024

The tour was amazing! We were able to see things that would have been difficult to do on our own. Hassle free, great guide!

Best Zakynthos Tour

Ian_B, Jun 2024

This was such an amazing tour! Our guide Sakis was the man and made sure we had a great day. I got picked up from my hotel at 8:30 and the trip ended around 6:30. There are some parts of the tour that may or may not be accessible because of the police close down the road to the advantage point of the winds are too high but Sakis added more time on the boat portion for us since the road was close during our trip. The boat ride was absolutely amazing! You get to see the ship wreck and many many beautiful caves and you even get to stop at one and swim into it to see the blue water in the cave itself. The boat is big and comfortable. The water is perfect for swimming and you may never find better water to swim in honestly. The spot you stop for lunch is solid and prices are good. Sakis also asked us if we wanted to stop along the road and try some local wine and Greek snacks, of course we all said yes and it was divine. Overall for the price and the amount of things you do, this tour is a must!

Regular

Ivan_T, Jun 2024

Operator say in the description that pick up you at your hotel. He was not my experience. I need to move to another pickup location. The operator change my schedule due to weather conditions in a sunny day from 11 am to 8 am and arrive to the new pick point with some delay. Unjustified change. The boat that the operator use to visit the blue caves don’t have escalators to boarding after swimming.

Beautiful views but not a good VIP tour

Kurt_S, Jun 2024

The island views were incredible. However, the overall tour was disappointing. First, the tour operator told me with little notice that the tour would start 3 hours earlier than the one I booked. After some discussion they were able to work something out closer to my booking time. Also, the full description should be updated to be more accurate. We did not see Cameo Island or a scenic bridge as listed in the description. Also, the driver did not speak any English - I thought it was going to be a guided VIP tour of the island in English, but we all just sat in silence in the van the whole time. The air conditioning in the van was not working well and it got hot even with the 2 front windows down.

Absolutely brilliant

rachelshelton, Jun 2024

We had the best time. It really is a full day. You see so much. The night before you get a text with pick up time and what vehicle. Our tour guide was great. So fun and informative. We done the views first then onto the boat. We had so many swim stops and got to swim into the blue caves. The place we stopped for lunch was so nice. The family that run it our so nice. We had so many stop offs saw so much. This trip is brilliant. Just book it. U will have the best day.

A must-do in Zakynthos!

Alexander_G, May 2024

Amazing tour! We spent the whole day exploring the island with our fabulous tour guide, Teo. He took many pictures of us and always made sure we loved all the photos before leaving to go to the next part of the tour. He is very knowledgeable about the island and Greek history. He spoke perfect English. The tour was 8 people, including ourselves. Everything was well timed and the break for lunch is at a nice Greek taverna. The boat tour was very windy/wavy but the boat driver did a great job of safely navigating us to the shipwreck and blue caves so we could see everything. There is an opportunity to change to/from bathing suits if you want to bring them in a bag instead of wearing them. Recommend wearing sneakers to trek to the shipwreck viewpoint. Maybe bring flip flops or sandals for the boat as some people’s shoes got wet. Overall, we would definitely recommend this tour!

Incredible All-Day Tour. Must do!

Matthew_L, May 2024

Incredible experience. 10/10 would recommend. A fantastic all day tour across the entire island finished off with a boat trip. Made my entire trip.

A travel day well spent

Shelly_G, May 2024

We had a very knowledgeable & fun guide. He went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and gave off a positive vibe that was contagious! Thank you Sakis for all that you do!

Sakis is an amazing tour guide!

Matthew_C, May 2024

An amazing experience! Sakis is such a personable guy and phenomenal guide. He knows the island front to back and creates an unforgettable experience. Shipwreck beach was out of this world and the swimming at white beach was the cherry on top of a great boat tour. We definitely felt like we got more than we bargained for!

Fun in the sun

Michael_M, May 2024

A good mix of activities and interesting sights made for a good tour. It was an all day tour and included a boat ride.

Fantastic Tour

Frank_S, Apr 2024

This was a fantastic tour that we highly recommend. Sakis, our tour guide, was very informative and personal throughout the tour. He never rushed us, but kept the group moving at a comfortable pace. It was a very positive, happy experience touring the sites.
