Great tour, highly recommend
Great experience, amazing olive oil, and the best meal we had on our entire trip! Andreas was our driver and he was fantastic and professional

Fabulous Tour!
We had a great tour with George. He was very knowledgeable and we learned so much during our time with him. We visited Olympia before our olive oil tasting which was his recommendation. We had a great lunch at a local taverna after our olive oil tour. He gave us so much history and told us some great stories about traditional Greek culture. This was one of our best tours on our cruise. We never felt rushed and he got us back to our port in plenty of time. Highly recommend!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that your tour with George was one of the highlights of your cruise. George takes great pride in sharing the rich history of Ancient Olympia, traditional Greek culture, and local hidden gems like our favorite olive oil spots and tavernas. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the itinerary, the local lunch, and above all, that you had a relaxed, stress-free day getting back to your ship on time. Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to our team. We hope to welcome you back to Greece for another memorable experience in the future! Warm regards

Authentic Greek Experience!
We’ve been in the Mediterranean for 2 weeks doing tours everywhere and this was by far our favorite. George, our driver and tour guide was a major reason we loved it as much as we did. His stories and humor were so great. The farm was great as were the oils. Lunch was delicious without a tourist in sight. Very much an authentic Greek experience. Loved it. Eucharisto George!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that this was your favorite tour out of your entire two weeks in the Mediterranean. George will be delighted to read your kind words about his stories and humor—he truly loves sharing the authentic side of Greece with our guests. We are also glad you enjoyed the farm, the olive oil tasting, and that quiet, authentic local lunch. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Greece again soon! Warm regards,

A great tour. Traveling...
A great tour. Traveling to the olive oil factory we had a chance to see the beautiful countryside. Learned how the olive oil was made and had the opportunity to taste all the different kinds. Also, had the opportunity to purchase some of our favorites. Would recommend this tour.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cephalonia.
How much does Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port cost?
+
Prices start at $123 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 Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 25 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 Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port?
+
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 Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port?
+
Around 9 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Olive Oil Tour & Tasting with Lunch from Katakolo Port 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.
