“Great tour and totally loved our tour guide! He was the best part of our trip! But would not recommend booking any tours through Viator because we found out afterwards that Viator charged us 4 times more than our tour guide worked for. Very disappointing to our budget for this very expensive trip. Cruise was disappointing, overbooked and no experiences at all with turtles and hotel on Zakynos was bad. But still loved our tour guide...will book with his company and ask specifically for him on our next tour.”
