“Great private tour! We were met at the port by Mara, the owner / manager, and I knew immediately we were in good hands. She walked us a short way to their office where we met our driver, Neri. He was the height of professionalism. Such a kind person, so considerate of our every need, knowledgeable and willing to go off the beaten path when I asked. I'd been to the Blue Eye before and I had no idea there was a beautiful hike through the forest above. We left the crowds behind and I got to see meadows, wild flowers, incredible views, with no one else around. It was…”

“We did not get to the Blue Eye because it poured when we arrived. The gate keeper refused to let us ride in. What a pity! We went to the ruin, it was well preserved and our driver/guide was very knowledgeable. The grounds were muddy and slippery. Other than having our feet soaked, we enjoyed the tour.”

“The sites we saw were amazing. The tour was very confusing on where to meet, and the driver didn't speak English. The tour guide didn't say anything o the tour about anything, unless we asked him specifically, his English was fine. Maybe they could work on giving some details of the country and sites on the drive. Overall we enjoyed where we went and had a good day. Would recommend the tour but not the tour company.”

“Catch the train for 3€ pp into Blue Eye and save your time there for walking trails and sitting by the river. Brief time looking at the eye itself, but it’s great! Some pretty views from the castle. Sweet florist tour guide gave us a rose at the end of the tour.”

“First of all, I’m VERY late writing this review. our trip as in September 2022 and I forgot to leave a review when we returned home. Ari was such a great tour guide and we had such an amazing and unique experience with him….that I’m going back to write it now. Ari goes way above and beyond to customize the tour. He makes an effort be sure every person on the tour has something special for them. We were 4 adults age 55-73. We had a wide range of athletic ability and interest but Ari asked questions to understand what each person enjoyed and MAN did he deliver. The Blue…”
