We went on a bus tour of Zakynthos north island. We paid 20 euro each so were't expecting loads but the guide was terrible, he appeared to know nothing about the island and spent the entire time cracking bad jokes.
We used the same company to go to St Dennis festival in Zante town. They overbooked the buses and we ended up having to stand up on a coach to get there. We received no apology.
We have also used this company to do the island tour by boat which although overcrowded was enjoyable and the swim stops are good.
In summary, if you don't mind mass tourism and being herded around like cattle this is the tour company for you. We only booked with them because they're teh cheapest. I guess you get what you pay for.

We took the 3 hour boat trip to see turtle island and were glad we did as the views were lovely as we did see a turtle (although felt bad for it as 4 boats of tourists then all ganged around it). There were a couple of swim stops but boat does not go right to the beach at either stop so if you can't swim you have to stay on the boat. We were led to believe the opposite. Also, we were staying just outside Zante town and rep that sold us tickets said a bus would pick us up. Had we known this would be a 45 minute trip on a coach with no air conditioning we probably wouldn't have bothered

SCAMMERS !!!!
Extremely disappointing tour
It was supposed to be a 3 hours tour in zakynthos
It ended up 1.5 hours
With only 20 min boat ride
And 1 hour at a beach shores
They charged us 35 eur for each person
And the boat was supposed to be 12 people
It ended up with 20+ in the boat
Very rude skippers and treating people poorly
You are scammers !!!!
Noone takes this tour or this company

worthless!! this company we are on a family trip to zykanthos. to recover from my mother's chemo period after a tough battle with cancer and had booked a cruise here. we would be picked up at 8.00 kindly arranged through the local agency who had gone above and beyond for us. asked us out of bed. 7.55 am ready to leave in front of the hotel. no one in sight except a small bus that apparently wasn't for us and was packed. still waiting. 8.30 still nobody to be seen! went to call the company! very unfriendly. be called a liar that the bus has indeed come! so we lie! I'm not blind! I've rarely seen a company act like this. they only care about money but service 0.0. Advice! save you the frustration there are plenty of friendlier airlines that do think of their customers around here. but never again!!!! shame how they treat people!

First thing I can say is being your own food as prices are out of the window. We had been offered so many boat trips by people but this one lady just stuck to us as she was so lovely. We spend £75 in total on the boat trip all round the island and it was amazing! You see the shipwreck and get to have a nice swim after. The views are amazing and there were lots of other things you could do with them!
Pick up from your hotel was included and drop off too!
Thankyou for a lovely day out!

Yesterday I did the trip with the pirat boat all around the island of Zakynthos .
It was an amazing trip the staff was so kind and helpful we had 3 stops to swim and we also visited every bay in the island it is amazing.
If you visit Zakynthos this trip with cavo grosso should be on top of your list.
Thank you cavo grosso for the memories and the good time I had in your boat.
See you next time 🏊♂️😊

The island of zakynthos is stunningly beautiful and is a great place to have a tour or cruise. If you want to see this picturesque island however I'd suggest you avoid this company. They offered a "luxury" ship in which we'd undertake a half day cruise around the blue caves and would drop us off as shipwreck for an hour of leisure time. HOWEVER, this did not happen. We had a look at the blue caves from a distance which were beautiful but I didn't expect to be so far away from them. Other boats were getting a closer look and this was disappointing. We then sailed to shipwreck beach which was breathtaking and definitely the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. We were devastated when we weren't allowed onto the beach we were allowed to stay on the ship and take pictures for a maximum of 1 min before turning back the other way. Many passengers were just as angry as us. The cruise was expensive and disappointing. What was worse however was the ship itself. It is not what I'd describe as luxury at all. Parts of the ship were in disrepair and the ship was full to capacity meaning many people were standing. The toilets were overflowing with urine and stunk so bad after visiting once I refused to go again and had to wait till back in argassi. Completely false advertising >:(

the ship is very old, stinky and very busy. there is no room to relax under the sun.
Also we couldent listen to the guide because of the noise.
it is a 9 hour trip and you see nothing at all.
The woman at the ship entace was very rude as well.
its a waste of time and money.

Very bad service. We were told 2 swimm stops for 45 min. At Turtle island and Kery caves. We only got one swimm stop at photo 1, 20 min long. We saw turtle island from the boat, didnt visit or swimm. We saw Kery caves from boat, didnt visit or swimm, they said too windy, and it wasnt. And then stopped at some third place for short swimm. We saw turtlle from far, pic 2. Glass bottom nothing. They just drove us arround and came back to port. Kid was disappointed. I made a complaint, didnt answer. Representative told us he is not responsible. Not recomended.

We went for a VIP tour, stopping near the blue cave for 1 hour swim, shipwrek 1 hour swim and Keri Cave 1 hour swim, plus many other stops to see Poseidon, Porto Vromi, Delphin Caves, etc.
What we did? 30 minutes in Shipwrek and 15 minutes in Keri Cave only.
We left the port and it was raining, some people tried to stay on the upper deck (open) because there were no seat in the covered one. The captain tried for 30 minutes to approach the Shipwrek without success, the other companies approached in one move only. (I skip the blue caves because we never stop to swim there). After 30 minutes only we had to leave the Navagio (Shipwrek) because we had to follow the program, no matter what and no matter what we payed for. We sailed straight to keri cave (Poseidon and all the intermediate stops were a complete dream), in Keri Cave we stopped for 15 minutes, the time to keep our bump in the cold water. We went back to Zante Port running like desperates. (Turtle spotting??? are you joking? What is that?).
We literally wasted every single Euro we payed to them. Not even one p was worth the experience.
When we approached the head office, we have been kicked out in a really bad way because we explained we were unhappy.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE avoid it.
