    Best experience in Greece!
    The island of Naxos seen from the sea, with a beautiful wooden sailboat with all the comforts. Bath in crystal clear emerald waters, lunch with fresh and Greek food. Visit the beautiful island of Koufonisi. Definitely suggest it to all my friends in Italy.

    Highly enjoyable tour of Naxos town
    Our guide Rena was excellent! We'd already been in Naxos a few days however we were taken to areas we'd not yet explored and having her local knowledge and enthusiasm to impart the history of the town was a total pleasure. At the end of the tour we enjoyed Citronella from a local shop and sat down to enjoy a tasting menu from a lovely small local restaurant. Highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy more of this charming place.

    Negotiating Naxos - Hellenic harmony
    We took a bus to the interior of the island. The bus driver negotiated some pretty narrow roads brilliantly and Nikos? our guide was superbly informative. We saw all the usual archeological sites and the olive oil and citrus liqueur production etc but the extra information that we would never have found out on our own and the local understanding was entertaining and poignant at the same time. I highly recommend this tour.

    Amazing guided bus tour
    Our guide Nikos was fantastic! We did the day bus tour of the island and he was not only very knowledgeable and friendly, he was very funny too. We also had the pleasure of being driven by award winning driver Vangelis, and he was a pleasure to meet as well. All in all this was an excellent experience that I would definitely recommend!

    Irena was an excellent guide. Never tired of our asking questions. History and culture of the city and island. Highly recommend beginning your stay this way to orient you to Naxos. Wine and cheese tasting superb way to begin. Citron tasting a great way to end. 8 members of our group all adults; family and friends. Wear walking shoes- lots of steps.

    Sunset walking city tour
    I can highly recommend this tour. The guide is amazing she shared all her well knowledge with us. The tour ends with an amazing sunset. Even if you know Naxos you should make this tour to be able to dive deeper in the history of this island.

    RD Round Island Tour
    This was a great little trip to introduce the island of Naxos to visitors. Nicholas was a great guide, providing a knowledgeable commentary and insightful background on island life and history as we drove along. The stops were all well spaced and interesting and it was so much nicer to have a driver for the windy mountain roads! Fantastic value for money. One note: if given the choice, have the lunch stop in Apieranthos - it has lovely little cafes with magnificent views.

    Excellent value for an around-the-island bus tour.
    This is an excellent way to tour a quaint island without having to drive. The tour is around the island, and takes almost the whole day - 9:30 am to 6 pm. There is an English speaking tour guide. You would pay for your own entrance fee (only one location), and your own lunch/snacks/coffee etc. They pick up from several locations, and drop off at the same. The tour stops at several places. It is not rushed. For 25 Euros, I think it is the best value there is!

    A great tour to discover some of Náxos great locations.
    Very good option if you want to have an idea of Náxos without having to drive. The tour will take you in a few of the most interesting places. You will have time to visit/shop/or walk as we stayed between 45 min and 1.30h in three locations. So no rush, beautiful spots, smart route and amazing landscapes to realize the diversity of Náxos areas. Rena was helpful patient and welcoming. We went to a pottery workshop but never fellt forced to buy. I'm not a tour guy, but enjoyed this one very much.

    A fantastic day tour for a sample of Naxos
    We booked the tour of the island as we didn't want to hire a car here, but still see some of the sites further away from our accommodation. The tour took us to a variety of sites with time to look around each place with our guide, and then in some places time to have lunch/coffee and explore alone. The tour took us through some stunning mountain landscapes and villages and we felt totally safe in the bus despite a few scary looking roads! Rena our guide was brilliant with excellent English and Italian and clearly loves the island which showed through in her information about each place. Would definitely recommend this tour!

For a good price, you got a full day experience around the northern parts of the island! The tour was great and you got to see a lot of different highlights! Everything was very easy, all for getting picked up by the bus in the morning, coffee break and lunch break along the way, to when you got dropped off at the end of the day. The time you got at each sight was just right, you didn’t feel stressed or board, it was just perfect considering the heat.

Our guide Nikola was absolutely amazing with a lot of knowledge and we really appreciated all the information about the island he gave us since he was from Naxos himself. And it wasn’t just the usual info - it was depth and nuanced info of history, wildlife and cultural. Fantastic! The driver was calm and handled everything well too.

The only thing one could ask would be maybe more seatbelts :) overall strong recommendation!

Very knowledgeable tour guide Reena. Knows a lot about Greece, Naxos, greek mythology and stories as well as other interesting explanations.
The driver George was also very experienced and stayed calm in various challenging situations.
They took us to lovely places and drove us through beautiful landscapes. Maybe one or two stops more to take some pictures from the top of the mountains would have been appreciated. Though all in all a wonderful tour.

Nikolas and George were wonderful! I was so impressed with George’s driving, he moved that big bus through two buildings that had less than a meter between them, he was a total pro. Nikolas was very informative and funny. I would have liked to have more than 30 minutes at the temple of Demeter, or have had Nikolas talk us through the museum and the site, rather than go through it on our own with so little time. But the rest of the sites had a good amount of time and a good balance of structured vs. unstructured time. The recommendations for the lunch restaurant was great, and we loved the tour as a whole. We felt like we got a great overview of Naxos (we drove around the entire island by the end) and saw most of the major stops. Make sure to wear good hiking shoes, as there are some rocky uphills and uneven paths (not sandals, like me). I also really appreciated the bus being flexible in picking me up from a location close to my Airbnb when the address they provided was wonky. Absolutely would recommend to anyone interested in the history of Naxos!

Great tour guy Thanos was very knowledgeable about Naxos his hometown island and showed us lovely little spots and gave tips about the island including local restaurants. We got to see how the olive oil used to be made, the Apiranthos village, the Apolonas seaside, Demetras temple, pottery local workshop and many more. Worth the trip of 8 hours in fully AC buses and the price of 30 euro pp was great.

Where do I start? The tour guide Nikolas was an outstanding presenter. He shared so much information in an enthusiastic manner with a great sense of humor thrown in. He brought the island alive for me. Another positive is the variety of places you get to see. From agricultural lands, mountains, fishing villages, quaint villages, ancient ruins, to live demonstrations of making pottery and how to work olive oil press authentically from the past without all the new technology. Now there is one thing you might want to pay attention to and that is the day that you choose to go. If you want to see an ancient Byzantine church with some well preserved frescoes or you want to see the Temple of Demeter make sure you know which is which day or you'll end up missing an important site. I think it makes a great kick off to your time on the island so that you have some historical background and idea of which areas you may want to investigate more closely

We loved this tour. We visited the temple of Artemeter, a pottery demonstration, Kitron distillery, beautiful villages, Apollonas for lunch and swimming then the unfinished Kouros. Our guide Nokia was superb, really informative, and our driver drove us carefully along high mountain roads. It’s great value for money, a really great way to see the north part of the island.

An important thing to note is that the right hand side of the bus get 95% of the views whilst the left side gets the cliff side and rock, so try to site on the right hand side.

The tour was very interesting and the tour guide clearly loved her job. Whilst it is a box ticking adventure, it does give you plenty of time at each place to explore and shows what the North side of Naxos has. Whilst I wouldn’t do it again, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Naxos. We did the tour on the last day of our holiday so we were comfortable with the mid day sun and temperatures.

The pottery workshop was a bit of a let down, we got there expecting to learn about the process of making and then seeing olive oil production. The pottery portion is actually a less than 5 minute demonstration in Greek followed by a 20-30 minute sales pitch to buy his stuff. This felt a lot like commission work for the tour guide and wasn’t as enjoyable as the rest of the trip.

The costal town is also very lacklustre, there’s 2 small beaches and about 5 restaurants and that’s it. We struggled to find something to do for 1.5h as we weren’t interested in swimming.

Be sure to bring water and sunscreen.

This is a really good tour to go on to see inland places in the central and northern regions of Naxos. Our guide was very informative and was well organised. There is a reasonable amount of walking involved so you do have to be fairly mobile. Although we had long enough at most of the sites, I would have liked a little longer at the Temple if Demeter. As we were going through such an incredible landscape it would also have been nice to stop once or twice to take photos. It is certainly a worthwhile trip particularly if you don’t want to hire a motor vehicle yourself. The trip is also good value.

Fantastic way to discover all Naxos had to offer. It was a comprehensive trip and we learned a lot about the island. The driver was amazing the way he navigated those roads with inches to spare was mind blowing and scary. The place we stopped for lunch was great. Would highly recommend this tour for the cost

We normally avoid 'organised' trips and prefer to explore by ourselves. On Naxos, we would usually hire a quad bike. However, knowing that the mountains can be chilly at the best of times, due to a rather chilly May, we decided to try the organised tour. It was absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide, Nikolas, was so informative and amusing and the driver navigated the narrow, winding roads confidently. The stops were varied and just long enough. Our lunch stop offered a good choice of places to eat. Also, taking into account the normal costs of bike hire and fuel, this was the most cost effective way of seeing the highlights of this beautiful island and learning its history.
