    I don’t even know where to start for our driver was Kostas. He was waiting for us at the port when we got off the ship and he stayed in contact through chat before I got to the port. He was very responsive, very responsible and he picked us up in an amazing vehicle, we were a total of six people. He was so knowledgeable. He took us to amazing places. I cannot tell you how knowledgeable he was. He took us to where he thought were the best places to see Crete. I highly recommend him. I have never had such an amazing.

    This experience was well beyond what we hoped for! Our day started with Kostas picking us up at our hotel in a lovely VIP minibus is pristine condition. We discussed the itinerary, told him we were completely flexible, and off we went! Our first stop was an olive oil factory where we learned about the process and the importance of first press (cold press), the use of words like refined (avoid this) and the process of second press (don’t put this in your body). We sampled some amazing EVOO and continued on our way. One of the reasons this tour was incredible is because we got to see several little villages in Crete via the back roads instead of the highway. We enjoyed breathtaking views while listening to some of the history related to the island. Ultimately our goal was to get to Plaka and Agios Nikolaos so we could enjoy the east side of Crete, the path we took was anything other than the normal route - and it was completely worth it! The best part was along the way we enjoyed breathtaking views, delicious homemade snacks (we love you Kostas’ mama), and enjoyable thought provoking conversation. This tour was anything other than ordinary and all four of us cannot stop talking about how much we enjoyed it. From the views, to the windmills and fantastic food, you will not be disappointed in your day with Kostas. This is perfection!

    Kostas was very knowledgeable about all things. He had treats from his mother at every stop. Very good driver. It was a long day as we also hired him to Taxi us to Chania.

    Touring with Kostas was a wonderful experience in many ways. He was very knowledgeable about differrent areas on the island, and was flexible about visiting sights that we preferred to see. We visited some beautiful towns and villages, and enjoyed lunch at a lovely hilltop restaurant with amazing views. Additionally, Kostas has a superior command of the English language, the importance of which cannot be underestimated. We strongly recommend this tour operator!
