We had the absolute pleasure of touring Crete with one of the best guides we've ever encountered. From the moment the tour began, it was clear we were in expert hands. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Cretan history, mythology, and culture, but also passionate about sharing it in a way that was engaging, thoughtful, and full of personality. Stavros tailored the experience beautifully to our group’s interests, striking the perfect balance between historical depth and local flavor. Whether we were learning about the numerous fruit trees, exploring charming villages, or sampling local food and wine, our guide brought every moment to life with fascinating stories and warm humor. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for Crete made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended—this guide is a true gem, and made our time in Crete extraordinary.

Ed our guide was excellent and passionate in sharing his knowledge about history, geography and especially Cretan way of life. He was humorous keeping us engaged the whole day. His attention to details and service was impeccable. Besides the amazing sights, we had the opportunity to also try Cretan Olive Oil, local yogurt, cretan lunch and cretan wine ! It's definitely great way to experience the real Cretan life and Ed certainly made the difference !
