    Private tour at Ithaca with tour guide

    We booked a private tour. The organiser picked us from our accommodation and make sure that all run smoothly. In addition to the driver a complimentary tour guide and her daughter, a trainee tour guide, accompanied us for the day. Having a tour guide provided more depth and better understanding of ancient and modern Ithaca. We were a party of 9 from ages 10 - 70 and it was a little something for everyone to enjoy.

    Response from the operator: Great news, thank you so much for the feedback, we are so pleased that you all had a good day. Hope to see you soon.

    Full day in Kafalonia

    I cannot recommend this company/tour enough!! I'm just back from my first ever trip to Kefalonia and as a solo traveller I decided a guided tour was the best option for me - The Kefalonia North tour was incredible and a perfect way to explore some of the beauty the island has to offer without having to worry about renting a car or finding your own way. The tour guide Costa was excellent and shared his passion and love for the island through her commentary on the van, but not so much so that it distracted from enjoying the scenery. he also offered some great recommendations for how to make the most of the places visited and couldn't do enough to help people out. Also a big thanks to him for his expert navigation of the mountainous roads, which I personally would never have wanted to attempt! You won't regret joining one of these tours. Booking process was simple online and the company were also easily contactable and responsive by email. Read less

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely words, very much appreciated. We are delighted that your tour of Kefalonia was such a great experience and hope to see you again for more adventures.

    Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia cost?

    +

    Prices start at $168 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 Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia?

    +

    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 Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia?

    +

    Around 2 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ithaca Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kefalonia 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 Island Bus Tour- Wine Tasting, Melissani & Fiscardo. 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.
