        Full Day tour with fabulous Gregory
        Gregory our host and driver is the absolute best!!! We spent a full day (2 couples) with him. Not only is he an incredibly joyful and knowledgeable person, he’s also an incredible guide. We were able to get a much better understanding of the Naxos inner island communities (including where he and his lovely fiancée live), but he also created a custom itinerary that let us experience some of the unique artisans on the island that create their own wares (a nice woman who is a master with the loom, an incredible sculptor, a 5 generational pottery family, an olive oil press etc). Ask for Gregory for your full day personal tour and you will not be disappointed!!!

        A great overview of Naxos - history and culture
        We booked this as a family to get an overview of the island, it's culture and it's history. Dimitri was a a very informative and enthusiastic guide and the trip was very thorough. We saw the Temple of Demeter, a pottery workshop (very interesting), a distillery in the old capital of Naxos, an olive press, the marble mountain, the oldest Byzantine chapel in the Balkans and the Kouros statue. Dimitri (and Gregorios) were full of tips and stories. It was thoroughly enjoyable and we were totally exhausted at the end!

        An Outstanding Personalized Tour
        Michael was an exceptional guide- always concerned we were comfortable and seeing new things. He made last minute adjustments since we had seen some attractions the day before. Michael also was so knowledgeable about Naxos, its history and Greek history. He took us to out of the way places for some amazing photos. The best was visiting the oldest church in Naxos - Panagia Drosiani. Being able to view the frescoes were absolutely amazing. If you want an individualized tour - Michael is your guide!

        A wonderful way to see Naxos
        Michail A was our driver and guide. He showed up exactly on time in a beautiful Mercedes. We discussed the goal of our trip. He arranged the trip to meet our needs and requests. He provide good information and history of Naxos. He skillfully drove through the mountain roads during a thunderstorm.

        Nobody showed up to pick up at the airport for a confirmed booking . Sent a message at the time of pickup by email that they do not have any cars. Nobody would pick up the phone at the agency.

        A great way to see the beautiful island of Naxos
        This was a great day from beginning to end. Terrific driver and a very comfortable car. I could make special requests for the itinerary and Konstantinos would just make it work. He also had plenty of information to share about everywhere we went :) Beautiful island, stunning photo opportunities. Lovely stop for lunch and even time for some shopping too. Absolutely recommend this tour and this tour guide. Great way to see Naxos.

        Naxos village tour
        This was a great way to tour without the stress of driving or the crowds of the bus. Costos the artist was a thoughtful and knowledgeable tour guide. He took many photos for us which will make nice memories.

        A most memorable and amazing experience
        This was a most memorable and amazing experience and highly recommend it. We had been told to rent a car in order to see the full beauty of Naxos island. Instead, we opted for this private guided tour and it was by far the better option. You can’t get the experience and knowledge that a guide offers if you rent your own car. And our guide, Costas, was truly a wealth of knowledge and an excellent tour guide. He brought us to beautiful towns, educated us on the island’s natural resources, exposed us to many cultural artifacts and shared his genuine love for Naxos. We left the tour loving Naxos and anxious to return.

        This tour was terrific—especially thanks to you Costas!
        This private tour is worth every cent extra you spend to have it as private. Especially in the hands of our amazing tour guide Costas. This walking and talking Google of fascinating historical and local information enriched our experience tremendously. It also helped that, on a more personal note, we enjoyed all six hours of his company immensely. Last but not least, back on the private note, it made such a big difference to march right through to exhibits, rather than be forced to wait for the typical busloads of people to pass. Highly recommend this tour!

        A great day out seeing all the highlights of the island
        We had a fabulous day on our tour, seeing so much of the island in one day. Our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and he made sure we saw everything we wanted to see, as well as recommending great places to eat and things to try. All of the different places were great and there was a good balance of history, culture and stunning sights. The transport was really comfortable, driven well, and plenty cold water to keep us refreshed between stops. We would highly recommend for anyone wanting to see a lot in one day. Thank you!

        Fantastic Naxos Tour
        Our guide, Vas, was exceptional. He was attentive to our needs and requests. He was kind and engaging. He assisted with the needs of our family member with Celiac Disease and one who is developmentally delayed. He gave us options along the way to customise the tour to our desires. It was a full day of pleasant educational experiences. Not rushed but yet efficient. His English was excellent. Would definitely use again!

        A farm, a vineyard, and a good time!
        We met Giannis and Katerina on a windy day in May and felt like we spent the afternoon with family! What a fantastic and unusual experience to help us get to know Naxos off of the beaten path! We first visited over local food and wine and then went on a tour of the farm while Katerina told us about the challenges and rewards of running a multigenerational farm. The animals, the vineyard, and the view were worth the trip alone. The cheese-making was a new experience and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip! How wonderful that this couple has opened their home and their farm and invited us in!

      Kostas was very knowledgeable about Naxos having grown up there and continuing to work and care for his family’s farm. A private tour is as much about your interaction and learning the driver/guide’s life as it is about the sights/villages. Kostas was delightful to spend 4 hrs with. It was just the right amount of his telling us about Naxos and letting us ask questions. He of course knew many of the artisans where we visited. We loved learning about the picking of olives to extracting olive oil process which Kostas knows so well because he has olive trees on his farm. Maybe he didn’t want me to say this but he allowed us to visit his farm and see his paintings and taste his grapes which was a memorable treat.

      We met Demetrius at the port. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The van fit all 5 of us comfortably. Demetrius took us to a pottery shop where we got to see the artisan work his magic. Then we went to a distillery and onto an old church. Even though rounding the five us up to keep moving was a challenge, Demetrius was very kind and understanding. If you are in Naxos, I’d highly recommend booking a tour with Demetrius!

      We were recently in Naxos and did a half day tour of the island. We were delighted with the experience. Our guide/ driver was prompt, efficient, very friendly and informative. He actually also worked in a restaurant which we dined in that night and he saved a prime table for us. It was a great experience. The small mountain towns we visited were amazing and our guide was first class.

      Our tour guide was not very knowledgeable or personable. Much of the time he was silent, he didn't teach us much history or about the people or geography of Naxos. He didn't make it fun. Wish we had gone with another company as it wasn't worth the money.

      We did this half day tour the day after we arrived in Naxos. My husband and I had some ideas of what we wanted to see and Vasilis helped us flesh them out. We visited a church, the temple of Demeter, a potter’s studio, walked around the pretty town of Chalki, and visited the Eggares Olive press. The van was comfortable and we didn’t feel rushed. I’m glad we spent the day this way- we wouldn’t have done all of this by bus or car.

      Naxos Luxury Tours was outstanding to work with! Specifically, we hired Petros for a private half-day tour and for multiple rides from our AirBnB in Stelida to Naxos Town and back -- about a 10-min drive each way. Petros is a lovely man who speaks very good English; he is very dependable and punctual, often arriving early. Seems to drive the nicest car on the island (a Mercedes sedan), and it is spotless, too. No time of day is out of the question for him; he or one of his brothers will be there for you, even if you return from Paros on the midnight ferry, as we did.

      For our half-day private tour, he ended up giving us 6 hours instead of 4, and his price was very fair. We told him we had heard Naxos was famous for its pottery, so in addition to taking us to some historical sites, to the marble area, and to a few different towns, he took us to see the work of Manolis Lybert, a 4th-generation Naxian potter -- which was a highlight of the tour.

      It also seems he knows everyone on the island. One day, I left a pair of sandals on a sailboat. When I realized it the next day, I asked for his help. Turned out he not only knew the boat captain but also the boat owner. So he called both and within a few hours, I had my sandals in hand.

      On our last day, we had to check out of our Air BnB by 11 a.m. but our ferry wasn't leaving until 5 p.m.. So he stored our luggage at his family's place of business while we roamed around Naxos Town; then he met us at the ferry w/ our luggage.

      People had told us we should rent a car on our own, and there were several places in w/in walking distance in Stelida where we could have done that. However, reading the signs is an issue there, and who wants to worry about navigation when on vacation? This was a much better option for us, and we'd encourage you to do the same.

      Thank you, Petros!

      Sites seen were ok but the guide had limited English and was dismissive of our questions. The price was high for what was basically a taxi service.

      Glad we didn’t have to drive! Enjoyable to have a driver instead. Could have customized where we went but stuck to recommended areas: temple, pottery store, distillery, olive museum.
