Our tour guide "mike"was very proactive and attentive. His in depth knowledge and ability to discuss things off of the beaten trail, made this excursion more relevant and helped us better understand local culture.

The guide Mike was so knowledgeable and very informative. He was courteous and thoughtful to everyone, making sure that everyone enjoyed themselves. The sites were well worth the trip! We never felt rushed, but we saw and learned a lot about Cretan history, the flora and fauna, mythology, and so much more. Our driver Manolis, was excellent! We always felt safe on those narrow winding roads. I would highly recommend this tour!! And thank you Mike and Manolis for a wonderful day!!!

We had such fun with Mike our guide! He was very informative and full of positive energy that never waned as the day went on. He went out of his way to accommodate us as we were travelling a distance to come on the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone unfamiliar with Crete, it's history, and what makes it the beautiful island that it is!
We absolutely loved...

We absolutely loved spending our day in port with Mike. He was a great tour guide! We enjoyed learning about olive oil production and then our tasting was delicious. The scenery along the drive is wonderful. Enjoyed all of our stops.
Good experience

We enjoyed the tour and found Mike to be quite knowledgeable and friendly. Going around the various sites and then the lunch was lovely (note there are vegetarian options available). I would recommend other travellers take a jacket and wear long trousers when it’s not the height of summer as it’s absolutely freezing in the mountains. Despite the tour being good, I think the price tag attached to it is slightly exaggerated.
