Top notch tour!
Maria was our wonderful tour guide, and she eas very energetic and excited to share everything about Crete. We were able to do everything on the tour that we wanted to do. We shopped, ate gelato, picked up some Greek fresh phyllo desserts, and sightsee. It was wonderful!

We enjoyed both Rethymnon...
We enjoyed both Rethymnon and Chania but would have preferred more time in Rethymnon rather than go to Lake Kournas. Lake Kournas was a little disappointing in that it is over commercialised and you don't really get to enjoy the Lake and it's surroundings as much due to all the businesses taking the frontage.

This was exactly what I...
This was exactly what I wanted. It combined the two things I wanted to see and couldn’t have been easier. We had plenty of time in both places and our guide was very helpful. Chania is such a beautiful city and lake kournas was stunning.

See more of Crete and have a great day out!
Plenty to see and enjoy at each of the three stop and on the coach. Lots of great information given along the way and good guidance at each stop. A great day out.

Chania and Region bus trip
This was a superbly organised tour to the Chania region with three stops which gave plenty of time for sightseeing, shopping or eating. The tour was expertly conducted by Michael who spoke to the tour in three languages, English, French and German, thoroughly enjoyable.

Great Day Trip with Beautiful Stops and a Friendly Guide
Overall, this was a very enjoyable full-day trip and I would recommend it. The places we visited were beautiful, and the guide was very friendly, helpful, and well-organized throughout the day.
Be prepared to spend a significant amount of time traveling on the bus between destinations, as the journey itself makes up a large portion of the day. Also, the time at each stop can feel a bit short, so it's worth planning ahead.
The stop in Chania takes place around lunchtime, but the time there is limited and restaurant prices can be quite high. The guide actually recommends having lunch at the next stop instead, so bringing some snacks can help you make the most of your time exploring Chania without feeling rushed.
If you're planning to buy souvenirs, it's worth waiting until the last stop. There is plenty of time there and a large selection of shops, making it the best and most relaxed place to do your shopping.
Overall, it was a great way to see several beautiful locations in Crete in a single day, and the experience was definitely worthwhile.

Magical/Mythical Cretan Tour
Our tour guide Maria was amazing, fun and knowledgeable. She told us about the history of the island, gave us insights on the the different stops we were going to visit during the tour and gave us pointers on where to go. She spoke various languages and made sure that everyone was alright and knew where to go, what to do, answered all questions, and even gave us her number in case we needed her while we were wondering around. The places we visited we beautiful and I didn’t feel like I was on a tour, I felt like I was out with my relative or a sister exploring a new place and experiencing a new adventure. She took the time with everyone so that we had a great time. She is with the Cretan Odyssey Company. She is a true gem who loves her job and meeting new people and showing us her beautiful country. I wish I could have met her sooner and spent my entire week touring with her. Thank you so much for making me feel like a family member, the laughs, the stories about Greece and giving me the opportunity for everlasting memories. You have to book this tour. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Maria for a fabulous experience and tour.

Chania
Our experience was made better with our guide Matt. He went extra with his freindlyness and knowledge of the area. I would recommend Matt and this excursion. At the end, Matt even got us a traditional coffee to cap off our outing.
