Well worth doing - We had a very enjoyable day. The guide was informative with a great sense of humour. Saw lots of sights. A varied itinerary which was great for suiting all members of our party. Air conditioned coach. Hotel pick up and return was very convenient.

Brilliant trip but not quite as advertised (I would argue better than advertised in parts) - The day itself was very good, the lunch totally surpassed our expectations. I had moussaka and my boyfriend had a grilled chicken dish. We also got a sort of starter before our lunch was served, it was all traditional Greek salady bits very nice! The tavern itself was overlooking a beautiful view in Zia. I wish the trip was slightly longer so things were less rushed, there was so much more I wanted to see but can't fault the trip, it was really enjoyable. There were a few surprises too we had no idea we would go to a wine tasting or to try honey this wasn't on the itinerary when we booked. We hadn't done either of these before so we really enjoyed ourselves. I do highly recommend this trip to people who want to experience the island as a whistlestop tour, very reasonable price and a great time. Our tour guide was hilarious, we really enjoyed hearing what he had to say. The trip however could have been improved by giving us a few more details before the day. We booked through Discovery D1 and knew to expect a bus but when a TUI bus arrived we dismissed it originally because we had no idea that TUI worked with Discovery D1. That was a genuine surprise. Not a problem for us but might be to others when we booked it said the lunch was optional, we could alternatively go swimming somewhere, that option wasn't discussed or mentioned at all today. We didn't want to swim anyway but others may be disappointed.
