The guide Lazaros was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about everything you could imagine about the island. The walk was beautiful with great stopping points for pictures. I learned so much about the island from history to agriculture. Because we came in the off season (Feb) we had the food at the very end at a beautiful restaurant. The dishes recommended were delicious and things I would have never thought to try. Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

This was one of our favorite things about our whole vacation! The guide was so knowledgeable and the tour was outstanding. I recommend this to anyone! The history here is so amazing. We will definitely be back!

Dommage il n y avait pas le trône du roi !!!

We really enjoyed our session with Max. Being there during the off season provided us with unbelievable shots that we wouldn't have captured otherwise. Highly recommend this experience to any and all.

Our photographer Mike did a great job and really helped me and my family create some nice memories on the island! Highly recommend
