5.00Exceptional! This was not a touristy tour. No pressure to follow a strict itinerary. No pressure to buy the guide’s relatives’ wares. No rush to finish your drink or meal. Stavros showed us what Crete is like for the people that live on the island, loaded us up with fresh picked produce from local farms, fed us with information on Cretan geography, history, and Greek mythology, and overall entertained us with his energy all day long. Pick this tour!
What a fantastic day!!

5.00An excellent, very comfortable and flexible tour of authentic Crete - we loved visiting the smaller villages, the olive oil producer, and farms of Crete, as well as Knossos, with our guide Stavros. He is very knowledgeable, funny and a pleasure to be with. Recommend to anyone, and flexible for families.

5.00Spyros made sure our day on Crete was amazing! The tour of the olive oil factory was very interesting, and the scenic drive up to the Lasithi Plateau was beautiful. Even though our group got delayed at Zeus's cave (our fault completely), Spyros saved the day and still made sure we had an unforgettable lunch at a local restaurant with breathtaking views and a visit to an excellent vineyard for wine tasting. Thank you for an entertaining and memorable tour of Crete!
