This tour guided by George was amazing! Saw all the highlights of Tinos island and more. Being driven around the windy roads included nonstop breathtaking views and taking a peek into various villages. Would 10/10 recommend. It was perfect length as well, recommend starting in the morning before the large tour buses come through. Thank you George!

It was very good but I was dropped off and could roam around each village on my own. I wasn’t sure where to walk and was worried at times I was going to get lost. Tour was good, but thought I would have been accompanied during the visits in the village to learn more. Otherwise the guide was very nice and genuine

Small group, very interesting places to visit , good time for every place and great a lot of information about the island. We had as well enough time to enjoy lunch. I would highly recommend this trip

George was very friendly and informative about the Island of Tinos. We visited some of the lovely villages and saw some of the main highlights of the Island. We would recommend George and his tours.

George was a terrific guide! Personable and knowledgeable. He was able to tailor the tour to ensure we saw things we hadn't already seen. We highly recommend!
