5.00Our tour with Michalis (Mike) was very enjoyable. He was very engaging. We were very well informed on a range of subjects relating to the geography, history, culture, Greek mythology and botany of Crete and the particular areas we visited. His presentation at the Olive grove was very interesting. We had a wonderful authentic lunch. We appreciated his interactive and humorous approach to the tour. Michalis ensured that we were able to visit all the sites we wished to see within the time constraints of making it back to our cruise ship. He waited to ensure we were safely picked up at the port by the ships shuttle bus. Thank you for a wonderful tour.

5.00Mike made an amazing adventure 100x better. His knowledge of all aspects of the destination's was spot on, but his knowledge of plants, flowers, which grow natural, was an added bonus. It is guides like Mike that make Viator great.
