“Brilliant day out with superb guide - Brilliant day out. So worth it! Our guide Lambros was fantastic and really knowledgeable. He took time to make sure everyone was okay and made time for us to get some great shots from high up in the hills. There was plenty of time at the attractions and we all really enjoyed it. The sea wasn’t choppy at all as I was worried about sea sickness but it wasn’t an issue during the boat tour part and swimming in the blue lagoon was refreshing and so was the falls. I definitely recommend this tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-08-22
