    Day trips

    The views and island were amazing, George (our driver/guide for the day) was very knowledgable and helpful with information on the island - couldn’t have had a nicer guide for the day Georgia (the lady who we booked two trips with) was lovely and friendly- we would definitely recommend this company to deal with for any excursion or advice

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stunning views and had a great experience exploring the island with George—he’ll be so happy to know his knowledge and friendliness made your day special. We’re also delighted that Georgia was able to assist you so warmly with your bookings. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back again for more unforgettable excursions!

    Review of Tailor Made Private Tour

    We were unsure how this was going to go since there were not many reviews online about this tour. It turned out to be a great experience for us. It is essentially a local driver who speaks English and will drive you where you want to go and provide some details / color about the island. Note, its not a tour guide per se so you have to pay extra if you want someone who is specifically trained to give that kind of information. For us, it was just enough and we are very keen to return to Kefalonia again one day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to review your experience with us!

    Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cephalonia.

    How much does Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at €90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cephalonia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cephalonia is not rushed.

    Is Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cephalonia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cephalonia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cephalonia and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Exclusive Ithaca Island Tailor Made Private Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cephalonia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cephalonia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cephalonia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include "Dreamy cruise"Daily Cruise from Argostoli harbour with a traditional Greek boat, "QueenBee" Full-Day Boat Trip with Lunch, Kefalonia Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cephalonia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cephalonia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
