  I can only recommend the expertise of George, a true Cretan who will show you places that are rarely visited by tourists and who was able to adapt to our family regarding the activities and the time allowed, because we have teenagers. 😊 I don't want to reveal everything to you and I won't tell you everything to reserve the surprise effect during your visit, but in broad outline: we visited a family olive grove and tasted their limited production which is not distributed in stores. Afterwards we tried our hand at pottery then we visited a monastery whose doors are not often open to the public with their private museum to finish with the guided tour of the famous palace of Knossos. This last visit was done with a licensed guide Mr Charidimos in order to be able to fully benefit from the historical and linguistic anecdotes of the history of Crete.

• Great option for tour - history & cultural

  Both George and Dimitris were wonderful hosts during our day in Crete. We decided to book this tour as it had a nice combination, different from any cruise excursion. We loved walking around Knonnas and trying to envision how'd it would look like and absolutely loved visiting the Olive Mill. We loved the tasting that was included in the admission to the Mill. Dimitris surprised us by making an additional stop in a nearby cute town- Archanes for a traditional Greek coffee and we sat and learned more about the island of Crete & it's traditions. Pickup/dropoff were prompted and it was refreshing having cold water being available to us throughout the tour.

• Great day full of history and olive oil!

  Had a great day with George! We came in on a cruise ship so had limited time. George helped us plan our itinerary to include the highlights we wanted to see. We had no trouble finding him at the cruise port; he was waiting for us as we got off the shuttle bus. Near the end of the day I realized I’d lost my credit card. George went straight to his phone and started calling every place we’d been until he found it, then drove us back to Knossos to pick it up. All day it was very obvious to us that he cares about his work and genuinely wanted to provide us with an amazing day. As an added bonus, George sent us a recap of our experiences.

• Awesome tour

  We had a very unique experience with our tour guide George. He invited us to tour the city and then visit his families, small farm of citrus, all, and grape vines. We had a traditional orthodox Easter of roasted lamb and fresh vegetables. He was a fabulous host and we really enjoyed our time with him. We highly recommend booking with him for a unique experience. Thank you so much, George!
