An unforgettable experience on the island of Skopelos, all thanks to Manolis. We had a great time and received very personal treatment from him, which made the tour a very comfortable, educational and fun trip thanks to Manolis' stories and treatment. We recommend it 100%!

Manolis was excellent! Very friendly, informative and got us everywhere safely. The locations we visited were very beautiful, especially the church at Mamma Mia Cliffs. We would recommend to anyone who visits this beautiful island.

If possible, stop at a location that was often used for filming Mamma Mia where there are two or three trees by the sea. We only had the opportunity to take a photo of this location from the top of a hill and it looks very special.

This was the best part of my stay in Skiathos. This was incredible beyond words. Everything was perfect. Everyone was so kind and welcoming the views were breathtaking. Everything was incredible

Great hosts, chill dog, beautiful beaches, delicious food!
