A lovely day - Have seen beautiful views, exciting places, good food and a lovely dip in the sea.
A very nice and knowledgeable guide!
Would definitely recommend this trip if I felt like I had seen / done most of the things at Zakynthos already and was ready to see something else.

Outstanding day trip to Kefalonia from Zakynthos - We spent a fantastic day seeing some absolutely wonderful places in kefalonia in the company of Pablos our guide and driver. Pablos was bloody brilliant!! Such a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide who somehow made the day even more enjoyable. We visited some amazing caves, swam at the most gorgeous beach, ate a fantastic lunch and finished the day off with turtle spotting in the capital. Pablos, thank you for an amazing day and the memories made!! I cannot recommend this trip enough!! Bloody brilliant!!

Excursion from Zakynthos to Kefalonia - We did a day trip from Zakynthos to Kefalonia and I must say Pablos and Joshua were very prepared and organized. Despite the many hours of transport we did not weigh because with their sympathy and competence also in explaining what we were seeing the day passed quickly. I really recommend it!

Kefalonia day tour!! Such a bueatiful island and fantastic tour! - We did the kefalonia tour with Joshua our tour guide and pavlos our driver.
The island is absolutely bueatiful with a traditional and authentic atmosphere.
The trip is long with a ferry that takes about an hour however it is very much worth it to see this island, mountains and caves within.
We stopped at and absolutely bueafiful beach Myrtos and had the most refreshing swim stop.
Our lunch stop was also incredible with the most tasty local kefalonian food!
Again the trip is long! But this makes it worth the money as you see so much. Joshua are guide was the most friendly and interesting Irishman who always looked out for our needs, tell us facts and making sure we had the best time!! Pavlos the driver was also so friendly and lovely treating us like a family!
The guys did a great job of looking after us and making sure we got home okay! I remind this trip to everyone and really condem the staff! The best of Greek hospitality.

Be sure to do it!!! - Super trip to Kefalonia, thanks to Pablos (Paul). He made this a wonderful experience. Thank you!!!
Why I only gave 4 points?
The gathering and unloading of participants could have been organised more effectively. Even the lunch was only mediocre. But otherwise really a very great trip and absolutely recommended. 😊😊😊

TOURS TO AVOID - The tour from Zakynthos to Kefalonia was a disaster. It lasted 12 hours .We left early in the morning , the driver took 2 hours to pick up the participants on an old bus with malfunctioning air conditioning.The same bus was boarded on the ferry to Kefalonia. We have a stop for swimming in Myrtos beach of 20 minutes in the sun and in a spot with dirty water.The driver Pablos forced us to have lunch in a restaurant of his friends even though we wanted to visit Kefalonia.After missing more than 1 hour restaurant the driver got angry with us because we had not spent enough.We saw him take an envelope from the owner of the restaurant. Surely it was the percentage on the receipts.With the old bus we headed to Melissani's cave 2 hours in a row for a ride of 8 minutes. Then we had to go to the caves Drogarati , the driver Pablos made us buy tickets but did not let us in because we had to go back to the port for the ferry.Pablos forced us to buy tickets for the caves in cash by delivering the money directly to him We spent 16 € instead of 13 € as written on the contract.We pointed out the mistake but he started screaming and denying the error.We resumed the ferry and then it took another two hours to unload all the participants in their hotels.CONCLUSION: 11 AND A HALF HOURS OF TRAVEL AND STRESS FOR 30 MINUTES OF VISIT TO KEPHALONIA. A TOUR MADE WITHOUT A TOUR GUIDE WITH THE DRIVER PABLOS RUDE, INCOMPETENT TO DRIVE, ALWAYS TALKING ON THE PHONE AND WITHOUT RESPECT FOR TOURISTS.AVOID THIS TOUR !!
