5.00To travel with a friend who looks out for your safety and gives you the most enjoyable home town feel, this is the Tour for You. Our guide was Marinos who was timely and thoughtful of the fine details. Like a coffee with Maria in a small village and sweet treats from the local bakery. Marinos was Knowledgeable about the locations and spoke perfect English. Grateful. The G family

5.00Absolutely recommend! Repeat offenders out of conviction! After we had such a great experience 5 years ago, a trip with APO (Apostoles) was also a must this time. His enormous knowledge and perfect knowledge of German make the tour a real highlight. We have seen places and experienced things that would have remained hidden from us without him. An absolute must for any Crete holiday!

5.00Niko was our guide and he was awesome!!! Took us to all the activities at the right time to beat the crowds. He shared his love and knowledge of Greece with us, provided cool facts along the way, and made us feel at home. Took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch that you'd never find on your own. This was a great tour and experience, you'll regret not booking this trip! If you're lucky enough to get Niko, you will have an amazing experience!
Three wonderful days!!!!

5.00We did 3 day tours, the advice in advance was excellent and Maria responded wonderfully to our wishes. As a guide we had Nikos, a man with a lot of humor who likes to laugh and with great love for his country. What a lucky thing for us. As we arrived with little knowledge of Crete he took us on a journey through his country and showed us corners we would never have found. It was a great time and we all had a few more laugh lines and felt very comfortable together. Thanks for that!!!!
