We usually do both the coach & boat trips, It is well worth doing it this way as you get to see the Island from both angles, which I think is best as you get to see a lot more by doing it this way, with the coach you are tied into that whereas with the boat you can get up and walk about a bit.  Coming back to Zante later this year and well looking forward to doing it all again even though we have done it before.

Just returned from a week in Zakynthos (July 2010) and whilst we were there took a VIP Back to Roots tour with Nefis Travel in Tsilivi. It was a fabulous day out, which takes you to off the beaten track to places where tourists would not normally go. From mountain villages to beautiful sandy beaches to the monastery and the oldest olive tree on the island and much more - with loads of stories of Greek mythology and history thrown in). As there were only 14 of us on this trip we felt we really were getting VIP treatment. I would highly recommend this trip (we went with a 12 year old who also had a great day - he especially enojoyed the traditional Greek breakfast). Thank you Jackie, you obviously love your job.

Visited Argassi 6th - 20th May 2010 - booked a coach tour around the island, it was OK, the weather was good and the guide, although it was her first day was very good, you could tell that she had a very strong greek accent but her English was OK. Had been on this trip twice before a number of years ago and was a little disappointed that we didn't visit the area where the people sold their goods from their houses, on a previous visit they sold lace, bags, wine, honey, you name it they sold it. Did however visit some nice little shops along the way. The views were also amazing. Not everyone's cup of tea but if you want to see the island then this is a better way than the boat trip.

Just back for Zante with my mum. we booked two tours with TEZ. the first was the yellow submarine turtle sight seeing. it was well worth the muney. you send about an hour on the boat and you get to see the turtles from about the water and below. then you get about an hour at turtle island for a swim. it was amazing to see the turtles!!!. but the second trip was horrible. we went on the all day tour of the island. we were told the 20 euros would cover everything but too take lunch as the boats food was dear. First the trip was cancilled on the tuesday because they over booked so we got switched to the wednesday, then wen we arrived the boat was packed. the cruise started off good untill we reached the blue caves and we were told it was 6 euros each to enter. this was the highlight of our day but as we were told we didnt need any money we only took money for water and ice lollys so couldnt go in. nxt we arrived at shipwreck bay and we were told we had an hour and a half which was soon cut down to around 40 minutes. we went meant to see the keri caves but missed them as the tour guide speaking was very quiet and was hard to understand. the tour was meant to be from pick up at 8.45 till arounf half 5-6, but lasted untill around 7 oclock. we were very dissapoint! I highly reccoment the submarine but as it was amazing.

Hello everybody!

We just booked for Zante/Tsilivi AGAIN! Can't wait to go. Last year we went on a mini bus adventure called "back to the roots". Best trip ever. TRULY! A wonderful day and a real feel of traditional Zakynthos with great stories about Greek Mythology and LIVE MUSIC at a lovely Taverna! A day to remember!
It was worth every euro...

 THE SHIPWREK BOAT TRIP; TEZ TOURS

me and my friends went on a boat trip with tez tours, we think it was a waste of money as the boat we got on was a massive old wooden thing. We were told we would only be out for half a day but the boat was so slow it took us all day. They paked loads of people on the boat to many which made the boat go even slower,We were also expecting to have 2 hours at the ship wreak which we only ha 20 mins. it was a waste of our day we recomend you miss out on this one it was completely different to what we were told.

Had a bad experience on the Island tour with TEZ company. Just after the lunch stop our bus was forced to stop as cars were blocking the road. A greek family who owned a restaurant threw food all over the front of the bus and all over the driver and some passengers through the window. It turned out they had been expecting our coach load to stop there for lunch and that's why they did it. The trip was ruined after that as we missed a lot of the stops. The driver and guide both got the sack. We heard it made the local papers. TEZ didn't offer an apology or a refund.

This was the only trip we did and its well worth it to see a bit of the island.

Tho as previously mentioned if not taking sandwiches take plenty of cash as the places you stop for lunch are in the middle of nowhere and are that wee bit more expensive but the food is good.

Another thing to mention is that the boat trip to the blue caves is optional but does cost an extra 7euros per person.  The alternatives if you dont do the boat part is to go to the beach - which is nice and there are a few cafes and ice cream places etc.  But is you've not seen the blue caves before defintiely go they are an amazing sight.
