5.00Our driver arrived on time and with a smile. He promptly introduced himself and started placing our bags in the van. As we made our way to Herkalio he made several statements about what we were seeing and there importance to the lively hoods of the Certain people. Over all he was a genuine professional and a very good source of information.

5.00I have complete confidence in this company. The online booking process was smooth, and my enquiry was answered promptly. When we arrived at Heraklion port, Leonidas was already waiting for us with a comfortable van. He was so warm and welcoming that we immediately decided to book our return trip as well. Excellent service from start to finish—highly recommended!

A 5am ride

5.00Before the island stirred, our ride awaited—punctual, peaceful, and bearing cold waters like morning offerings. No chatter, no chaos—just a smooth, silent glide to the ferry, as if the road itself bent to his will. We arrived early, calm, and grateful. Five stars isn’t enough.
I would recommend it

5.00Our ship was 2 hours late but the driver still waited for us and picked us up as soon as we arrived. The car was clean and modern, cold bottled water was provided and the drive was very smooth and comfortable.
Wonderful transfer Heraklion to Chania

5.00My wife, 19 year old daughter and I hired Leonidas to transfer us from Heraklion to Chania. We took the day to do it and stopped at some Caves, an Olive Oil press, had lunch in Rethymno, and made stop at Lake Koumas among other sites. Leonidas is an excellent driver with a kind demeanor and lots of information and local knowledge. I would highly recommend using Crete Wanderer for transportation. We felt like we got much more out of the trip than if we had driven ourselves.
