A Big tourist Trap
Bad , bad, bad experience!!! Starts 06:45 i Zakynthos. Buss to harbour and get to a over crowded boat. Arrives 10:40 in Poros, visit a fine church 20 min, Drogarati cave 20 min, (extra 6 euro), Melissani cave (in and out) and pay extra 10 euro), stopp vid Myrtos beach för some instapicture than stopp för lunch for 75min? . Drive to Poros and depart at 18:00 . Back to the Hotel..20:45 So you spend 14ours on 3 busses and a ship back and forward from Kefalonia , pay 65 euro/person and see one cave one ,church, a split second of a nice beach and 3 min visit to a cenote. I think is not worth it a dime. The places wasn't so breath taking as is said in the bannern. The guide was OK!
Response from the operator: Strong statements deserve equally strong accountability. If you stand by everything you have written, please provide your full name and booking reference so we can identify your reservation and verify your claims against the actual tour records. We will be happy to establish whether your description accurately reflects the service provided or whether these are simply unsupported public allegations. If you are confident in your statements, there should be no difficulty in identifying the booking and allowing the matter to be formally reviewed, including by our legal office. We look forward to receiving your details. YOTOMU

Proof of promise
Ages 0-99, max of 20 per group Duration: 12h Start time: Check availability Mobile ticket Live guide: Greek, English This is the information published on the Tripadvisor web page. YOTOMU seem to be worse than the 'old' Cavo Grosso Travel. We will not wish to waste our holiday time and money on any more disappointing experiences. Calling customers liars is not going to help.
Response from the operator: Let us clarify the facts once again, point by point. The page and the information layout you are quoting are published and structured by Tripadvisor. If you believe the information displayed on Tripadvisor is unclear or misleading, your complaint regarding the presentation of that information should be addressed to Tripadvisor. “Max of 20 per group” does NOT mean that the entire tour or boat has a maximum capacity of 20 people. It refers to the maximum number of participants allowed in a single booking and payment transaction. You have simply interpreted this information incorrectly. Your statement that “YOTOMU seem to be worse than the ‘old’ Cavo Grosso Travel” is a very serious public accusation. Once again, we invite you to publicly provide your full name and surname or contact us by email through the platform where you made your booking, so that you can personally stand behind this statement and explain exactly what you are accusing our company of. We are waiting. Finally, nobody has called any customer a liar. We have no idea what you are referring to. Please explain clearly who allegedly called you a liar, when this happened and where it was written. Making serious public accusations is easy. Supporting them with names, facts and evidence is something entirely different.

Bad experience!!!
Experience waa bad. The luxury yacht was replaced the night before by a pirate ship (you can’t cancel because you’re within 24 hours) that was incredibly dirty and bad. Also, the company would not exceed 20 people, in the end it was +/_ 70 from our organization. The ship also appeared to contain other organizations. Arriving at Kefalonie there were buses waiting and we were in the bus with 52 men. The guide was barely audible in the back of the bus. Asked repeatedly if he wanted to talk through the microphone or stand in the middle of the bus. This was not heeded. It was more bus driving than anything else. The indicated schedule was also changed and changed because it was "busy". We had 10 to 15 min each stop to possibly take some pictures. That's it. All in all very unfortunate. Not worth the money like this.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. First of all, please indicate exactly where it is stated that the group would not exceed 20 people. This information has never been published anywhere, and making such a statement is simply false. Secondly, no one has ever described the transfer boat as a "luxury yacht." The crossing to Kefalonia is a simple transfer, and it is clearly stated in the tour description that transportation may be operated either by the fast ferry or by the pirate ship. As for the price paid, it is important to keep expectations realistic. Sometimes people expect a Ferrari while paying for a basic service.

Made up information by the guide and didn’t get to the places we wanted but visited places that weren’t on itinerary
Even though this was a lovely day out we spent most of our time traveling to a church that wasn’t on the itinerary and waiting 2 1/2 hours in a queue to go on the lake (this was beginning of May). We didn’t manage to get to Argostoli and this was the main reason we booked. The tour guide Dennis was like Pinocchio informing us all about himself, who his famous neighbours were, up to 12 cruise ships can dock in Kefalonia, earthquake of 10 in Zante, didn’t know his Stalactites from stalagmite in the caves to name a few!! Full of useless information…..
Response from the operator: Are you offending thYour review goes far beyond simple feedback and becomes openly offensive toward our guide. People like you do not deserve a proper response after insulting someone who was simply doing his job professionally and respectfully throughout the tour. Your review will be reported due to the offensive and inappropriate comments directed at the guide personally. If you are unable to show basic respect to local workers and tourism professionals, then perhaps organized tours are not for you, and people like you should simply stay at home instead of spreading toxicity online.e guide?

Good way to see the island in 1 day
Good way to experience the highlights of the island in one day, as we were with a cruise ship. The driver was safe, instructed us with the itinerary plan, and kept us on schedule. We really enjoyed it, and will come back some day.

Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zakynthos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Zakynthos is not rushed.
Is Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zakynthos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos?
+
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 Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos?
+
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 Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kefalonia Full Day Cruise and Guided Tour from Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos?
+
On Outty we rank every Zakynthos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ceramic Making Experience in Zakynthos, Half-Day Greek Cooking Class of Zakynthian Culture with Lunch, Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island. 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 Zakynthos?
+
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 Zakynthos?
+
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.
