What people are saying about Laganas

HIGHLY recommend this tour! Khalifa was an awesome guide kind, informative & passionate about the topics. We saw a sea turtle on the boat tour thanks to our amazing captain, the water & landscapes were breathtaking. Olive press museum was more enjoyable than I had expected, don't forget to try some of the cosmetic products. Don't pay 5EUR to enter the island across the bridge, theres nothing to see that the tour hasn't already shown you except for a keyring with your photo on it.

The guide was very nice and showed us all the places that were in the description. We had enough time to look at everything in peace and to take pictures or have them taken. The view of the sunset was simply breathtaking. All in all it was a great trip with new impressions and information about the island.

Nikos was really friendly and knowledgeable about all the locations. He picked us up on time, he gave detailed information on all the stops and we had plenty of time to explore and take pictures. The sunset spot at the end of the tour was fantastic. I would happily book the tour again.

Great tour, great guide, great captain! Beautiful places! Always a pleasure!

Beautiful experience. Friendly and exclusive guide
