Visit to see a traditional unspoilt island. - What a beautiful island. Very traditional, not touristy and I hope they limit tourists rather than try to accommodate more as its rustic charm is what makes it special. Our TUI guide, Memi was an excellent tour rep and gave us loads of information. We were lucky to have her on another trip. It was a very long day , coach, ferry, coach. Boat, coach, ferry coach but we got to see so much, well worth it.

Good introduction to Ithaka - The community and information provided was excellent. All went smoothly with regard to travel. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and her love for the island was evident. Stops along the way allowed for a little exploration and my friend took full advantage of the opportunity to swim in the beautiful waters. Very pleased that we went on the trip and we had a wonderful day.

Fantastic trip and guide - A wonderful day trip to the magical island of Ithaca. A perfectly balanced schedule, but the day was really made by our guide, Diamond, who is clearly passionate and highly knowledgeable about the island. Great recommendations for the lunch and afternoon coffee break too. It was a long day, but so glad I did it!

Memorable experience on this beautiful island. - Visit Ithaca Island is a must. It's a very beautiful island were time seems moving slower than normal. This tour is giving the opportunity to visit the most important spots on the island in one day. It was a great memorable experience.

Magical Experience s. - This excursion was my second tour with KE during my week in Kefalonia, the first was the full island tour. Both were booked at Lourdas office with the help of the really lovely lady Georgia. Both excursions were absolutely fantastic. From the drivers, the guides Duska and Memi everything was fantastic. A very big thank you to all at KE, especially to Georgia who made it happen thank you Georgia. A truly magical journey through Kefalonia and Ithaca.

Georgia is the best! - we went on holiday to kefalonia for a week and prior to coming we didn’t really have any plan on what we were going to do then on our first day we bumped into Georgia from kefalonia excursion and she was the most helpful and friendliest and amazing lady who not only recommended three tours to do but also which days were best to do them taking into account the weather. all three of the tours were amazing and we had such a good time on all of them. our favourite was the ithaca cruise!!! and we learnt that whatever Georgia says you definitely do!! she made our time here so amazing and we will definitely be coming back!!!
