What a fabulous venture! Highly recommended! Our tour guide, Gethsemane was knowledgable, gentle and a joy to be around. She maneuvered our wide age group and crazy family with ease. Bill, our driver, was kind and safe. An overall great experience!

What can I say but wow! We booked three different tours before we travelled and ended up going to a few of the places already on this ones itinerary, I asked if it was possible to view somewhere else and specified something very traditional. Our guide, Alexander, messaged me with several alternative arrangements and we picked our favourite. We had a great day seeing traditional locations and getting a flavour of Cretan life. The Taverna we went to for lunch was filled with locals (always a good sign), the food was delicious and wines were locally produced and great quality. Our driver Dimitris was very careful and provided us with drinks and an amazing local treat at the top of a mountain. Such a great day, I would highly recommend this excursion and if possible ask for Alexander and Dimitris.

What a fun day with Nick and Paul! Spinalonga was fascinating. Lena, our tour guide, provided so much information about the site. We had a lovely seaside lunch at restaurant across from the beach and then spent an hour relaxing on the beach. The olive oil tour at Vissilakis estate was very interesting followed by a tasting. We enjoyed the products so much we shipped a box directly to our home. I highly recommend this tour with Nick and Paul.

A truly Authentic Cretan Experience! Our favorite day in Crete! We were lucky enough to have Ionna as our guide, who truly made this an authentic, luxury tour catering to what we wanted! Her driver Nikos added to the charm.

A truly Authentic Cretan Experience! We were lucky enough to have Ionna as our guide, she truly catered the tour to our vision. It was our favorite day in Crete. When our driver Nikos, took us outside for the panoramic view of Agios Nikolaos, and we enjoyed fresh fruit, on what seemed like the most private experience, my husband and I knew we were in for a treat. We loved the olive oil factory, and how Ionna really made sure we experienced the island the way we wanted to, even with a private boat around Spinalonga. We had an amazing lunch in Plaka, and were lucky enough to enjoy the company of both our driver and guide the entire day.

Alex was simply the best Guide that I’ve ever had. Yesterday was a mix of food tasting, history, and magic off of the beaten path. His knowledge and stories were absolutely captivating. I highly recommend this Company as they were thorough, helpful, and knowledgeable. Enjoy!

Everything about this tour was perfect from the meeting at the cruise port to the goodbyes! The car was comfortable and luxurious. The guide knowledgeable, friendly and funny and the driver (safe) as well. The sites we visited we didn’t feel rushed and each were unique and beautiful. Well worth the money and the memories.

We had an amazing time on our tour. Our tour operator Christianna and driver Stefanos were incredible. We were picked up from our hotel and were taken to the Vassilakis Estate olive farm where we had a private tour of the estate, learned about the olive trees and the process of making olive oil as wells as a tasting of the various olive oils and products. Our next stop was the Monastery of Kremaston. This beautiful monastery was built in 1593. We met a nun that lives at the monastery, toured the monastery and saw the old “κρυφό σχολείο» or Hidden School from the days of the ottoman occupation of the island. Our next stop was the city picturesque city of Plaka where we had lovely lunch on a waterfront tavern tasting the delicious local cuisine. We then boarded a boat to Spinalonga and our guide Christianna provided us a private tour of the island detailing the history of the island. Our last stop was Elounda where we saw the city and visited the famous beach. Both Christianna and Stefanos were friendly, knowledgeable and treated us like family. This was a remarkable experience that is highly recommended!
