    Nico was our driver/guide. If you are taking this tour I would suggest that you ask for him by name. You will not regret it. We took seven guided tours while we were in Greece. Nico was by far the best guide we had. He was personable, knowledgeable, witty, funny etc.,etc. He made all of us feel like family right from the start of the tour. The tour itself was outstanding. The olive oil tour is a must see. The plateau was amazing. Knossos was busy but worth the line ups for sure.

    A great tour! Marinos was a great guide and we got to see places we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was amazing to support family run businesses and get a great experience in the process.
