5.00We had such a wonderful experience with Valissis! He made us feel completely safe while navigating the roads to Balos, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. He also chose some incredible traditional Cretan cuisine for us to try—every bite was delicious and gave us such an authentic taste of the island. Beyond that, he went out of his way to recommend other amazing places for us to explore, which really enriched our trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Beautiful views and amazing tour.

5.00This was an excellent tour. Especially for us, we are into hiking, but need to be selective because can't push ourselves too much physically. We wanted to see Balos, and the views we were shown were Perfect, Spectacular, and it was even fun to climb the 5minute trail to see it and snap pics. The advice of this tour guide to skip the 40 minute hike to Balos Beach was well taken. We didn't need it, saved our energy for a real hike elsewhere. The Falassarna beach part of the tour was Excellent and more than enough beach for us,,the beach hut restaurant food was delicious, the loungers comfortable,,the tour guide drove us right to the beach avoiding the trek down from the parking area or waiting for their silly train tram to take us. In fact our tour guide Nicholas took precise care of everything, ordering the lunch,,bringing some drinks,,history and cultural information, etc. This tour is excellent and we'll worth taking, with This tour company especially as they have tailored it to maximize enjoyment, and the guide Nicholas was outstanding, helpful. Really liked this tour. Recommend it.
Fabulous
