We were originally booked with a small minivan group, but instead Marinos showed up and said we were upgraded to a private SUV (due to a mix up with overbooking). That shows you how dedicated he is to ensuring all his customers are satisfied. We spent the day exploring various historical sites and Marinos gave us fantastic insight that clearly comes from his deep knowledge and passion for his homeland. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Fabio was awesome. Very knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. Olive Oil press was very interesting. The Lasithi Plateau was amazing and the lunch at Seli Ambelou was excellent.
Fabulous tour of Crete!

Fabio was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable on all the sites and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. We felt like family by one hour into the day. His background in biology was an added bonus explaining all the plants and wildlife, all of which we really enjoyed. We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch as well, it was amazing authentic food. What a great day!
Great tour to get know Eastern Crete

The tour was good. Fabio is a great guide. We love everything except Knoss Palace visiting time(to hot... should be visited in the morning) and lack of guide in the Palace. Without guide/historical explanations it is a pile of hot rocks.
Great Tour
