Private Tour Elafonisi Beach with Honey Olive Oil & Wine Tastings

Carrie_H, Jul 2026

Get to Know Crete With George!!

We went on this private tour as a family and enjoyed every minute. George was very polite and answered our endless questions about his culture, family life, and the island he grew up on. He was flexible with our schedule and accommodating when we asked for slight changes to the program and timing. We would recommend this experience, and it left us wanting to return to Crete to experience more of this beautiful island!

Gabrielle_V, Jul 2026

History & Incredible tours!

Christine & her team blew this tour out of the park for us! We enjoyed learning all about Chania & Crete. The private tour through Knossos was a huge plus & enjoyable, I’m glad we set up the agenda to go there before the museum because the history was so helpful! We opted to go on an olive oil mill tour and it was so interesting to taste & learn more about the process! This team was so easy & flexible to work with and after the tour Christine gave us delicious local spots near our hotel to try. If we visit Chania again, we will be using SeaByBus again!

Wonderful! Would book again!

Stella was wonderful! She picked us up right on time and took us to Elafonisi beach which was beautiful! She did a great job getting us there early before it go too crowded. We bought chairs with umbrellas and enjoyed the day. We walked back to the vehicle where she took us to a local restaurant in Crete that had amazing food! We loved getting to experience a local meal before getting back on our cruise ship! Would 100% book with her again!!

Best Chania tour!

Our tour guide was Angie. She was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly knowledgable about Greek history, culture geography, and pretty much anything that we ever asked. She took us to cool out-of-the-way places and it was the best trip we had ever had. Just a lovely private tour with her! Use Angie and you will never be disappointed.

Beautiful tour of Crete

What an amazing day with our wonderful tour guide Maria. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and personalized our tour for us. The village meal was amazing we couldn’t believe how much food there was. We even got to take home some lemons and oranges from her own personal garden and they were so delicious! Highly recommended. 12/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From Chania: Imbros Gorge and Sfakia Experience Hike & Swim

Jezyk_P, Oct 2025

Great Trip with Beautiful Views

We had a wonderful experience on this hike. Although it’s officially rated as “easy,” it didn’t feel that way for everyone in our group. Our guide, Nikos, explained that the difficulty rating comes from the official mountain authorities, not the travel agencies. Personally, I found it easy, but some people did struggle a bit. The trail is downhill all the way, so if you have knee problems, it might not be as easy as advertised. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, but you do need to keep your eyes on the path while walking, so make sure to stop now and then to enjoy the views. Regular trainers were fine for me, but walking boots might be a better choice for extra support. Our guide, Nikos, was fantastic - informative, funny and very attentive. After the hike, we even went for a refreshing swim while Nikos kindly went back to help struggling hikers. Overall, it was a great experience. Everything was well organised, clearly explained and we felt very well looked after. Highly recommend!

Michelle_L, Oct 2025

This was a great...

This was a great experience and more than what we expected. A bus picked us up from Rethymno and we drove out to Elafonssi beach. It was approximately a 2 hour drive and well worth it. Kostas was a magnificent driver and maneuvered this huge bus through the mountains and Lazarus was a great guide. You get so much more than what you pay for.

Chania, Greece

Nick made the experience very enjoyable, he is very flexible, allowed us to manage the time we were in. Hanianand gave us. Learncuides of what we were going to see, he also provided with other options. He is polite and professional. The tour was through, we spent sometime buying first boughatsa since I wan to try them, then we went to to see the site of of an old olive tree that is 4 million years old which was awesome, we were for a couple of hours at Falassarna beach and Nockmensured were treated well. The fina part of the tour was in the old town. It was hard to spend more time in the old town since we needed to be. A o at the cruise. It was a fantastic experience. Kudos to Nick!

Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks

Jennifer_O, Aug 2025

Warm, educational and perfect for families

This tour was exceptional from start to finish. When booking, I noted my 11-year-old gets dizzy in cars—our driver Kostas drove smoothly all day, and both he and our guide Irene offered to stop anytime. They’re first-aid trained, which was reassuring. Irene, a forester, made the trip educational with fascinating facts about Cretan culture, herbs, and olive oil. We stopped to see mountain goats and vultures, visited a beekeeper’s café, enjoyed peaceful early hours at Elafonisi Beach before the crowds, relaxed at the stunning Falasarna Beach, and toured the world’s oldest olive tree with an olive oil tasting. Irene and Kostas were warm and kind to my son, keeping him engaged the whole time. Convenient pick-up in Platanias and smooth organization made it stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone—especially families—wanting a mix of beach time, nature, culture, and hospitality.

Family day trip with teens 💕

Enjoyable day out for the family, we have twin teens. On/off the coach with multiple stops too break up the journey and get to see snipets of authentic Greece and village life. Locals were so welcoming. The host on the coach and the driver were knowledgeable and very friendly. The olive oil tour was interesting and such a lovely gift shop advicating for many local artists and artisans! Kornas itself seemed over commercialised on first arrival but actually we still really enjoyed the experience. Good choice of restaurants bars and shops. The lake itself was beautifully clean and the wildlife does not disappoint. Lots of pedalos to choose from or free swimming. Abundant with turtles and eels that hapily eat from your hands!. Take bread and go searching round the edges of the lake. Loved this day out and great value for money. Highly recommend 👌
