Leave your trip in Angie’s hands!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Angie! We decided to book this private tour because we didn’t know what to do in Crete. Angie customized a schedule for us and it exceeded our expectations. Our first was a monastery that my sister said was her favorite part of our entire 16 day vacation. Next she took us to a small village where we got to watch a man make pottery in the same way they’ve been doing it for over 2000 years. It was the most unique experience and absolutely my favorite part of the entire trip. We then went to see where they harvest honey and got to taste some of the local honey. Once you have Crete honey, you will never buy anything else. She then took us to a grab and go lunch spot. That was absolutely amazing! I have been craving pitas ever since. After lunch, we went on a tour of a local castle. The views were amazing! Our last stop was one of the best. We got to go to see where they harvest olive oil. I will forever be checking labels of olive oil to make sure it is produced in Crete. None of these destinations would have been anything we would have selected. I’m so glad we left it to Angie to decide. It truly was the highlight of our entire 16 day vacation.
We will definitely be making another trip to Crete to soak in the rest of this wonderful seaside destination.

Fabulous way to experience Crete
Fabulous tour to see a part of Crete that is off the beaten path. Stopped to look at olive processing, off the regular road and up to a shepherds hut, scenic views, fresh oranges and more. Olga is a wonderful guide with a great sense of humor, knowledgeable and a safe driver. Lunch at the local restaurant was a real treat.

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!

Highly recommended tour to Elafonisi Beach from Chania
I was picked up on time. Our driver and guide were great, I think their names were Marcos and Elena. We first stopped at a shop near Kissamos where they sell local products like honey and olive oil. In the morning and almost the entire bus ride it was raining but by the time we got to Elafonisi it was beautiful summer weather and I had a lot of fun swimming in the sea on October 21st. After that we went to a beautiful restaurant in Elos village, where they had reasonable prices and good food and then we were dropped off at our pickup location. I'd say the time we spent at each stop was just perfect. Highly recommended!

Day at Balos and Falasarna Beach😎😎
This is the second activity we booked with Dimitris as our guide. What a beautiful day and fantastic sights! Dimitris made sure everything was perfect and it was perfection! We highly recommend this tour to Balos Lagoon views and the day at Falasarna Beach! Don’t skip these awesome places with this tour provider!

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.

Fantastic Private Tour by George
George was amazing and a wealth of knowledge.
It is very apparent he loves his city, country, and what he does. We absolutely loved this tour and learning about his town. He gave amazing recommendations when we were in the Old City and we loved every minute of it.

It was really fantastic
Trip was really nice, our guide Thomas was very friendly. The first stop at Agia Sofia, was impresive.
Elafonissi beach is very beautiful, and worth visiting.
Only the last stop was a bit disapointing, it was a very small Village, there was not so much to do, just a couple of tavernas. What was very nice, that you could buy fresh honey over there.

Best day in Chania! Beautiful beach and amazing food!
I have to say our guide Nikolas was amazing and really made the trip. He was so thoughtful and made sure we were having the best experience. Elafonisi beach was by far the best beach I have ever visited. It was so beautiful and the added touch of the reserved loungers and umbrellas was amazing. I can’t recommend this enough. The second stop at Milia Restaurant was the best food I have had in Greece so far. It was such an unexpected treat and just perfection. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for the perfect day!

Great!!
We absolutely loved this boat trip, mostly because the crew were so friendly and nice. The food was excellent and lunch was one of the best meals we had on the island! I would much rather take this boat trip to Balos Lagoon than any other way. Thank you so much to the captain and crew!

Highlight!
Highlight of Our Trip to Crete! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an awesome day out on the water! This boat trip was such a hit with both us parents and our teenagers – which honestly says it all. The 11.5m boat was super comfy and gave us plenty of space to chill, jump in for a swim, and just enjoy the ride.
The absolute star of the day though was our skipper. He was so friendly, easy-going, and fun to be around, while also making us feel 100% safe the whole time. He really knew his stuff and shared great insights, but at the same time made it feel like we were out with a good friend.
We all agreed this was one of the best things we did in Crete – definitely a must-do if you want an unforgettable experience on the sea!

Come hungry!
Great way to spend a few hours away from the regular touristy traps. Our group was small, 9 people and our driver Nikos was able to personally interact with everyone! We came in on a cruise ship, and although the port was not on the selected pickup spots, with a simple email we were able to get picked up in front of a grocery store directly across the street from the port exit. At each stop Nikos pointed out different plants and herbs in the wild that would be used in some of the food we ate along the way. Taking us for coffee, stopping at a family run cheese shop and bakery, and a local lunch all in more remote spots not as easily accessible without a personal driver made for quite a unique experience versus the standard cruise ship excursion.
