Amazing day in Crete!
Kostas was amazing as a driver and tour guide! In addition to seeing amazing sites and getting tons of information, he also helped us experience the smells of fresh fruit and flowers, the tastes of his countless homemade treats, and the hidden treasures must tourists will never see. His communication before and after the tour was amazing, he even sent us a customized itinerary for our next day where we were exploring alone after the tour was over! Thanks for the hospitality Kostas!

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!

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!

Amazing beach and highly recommend.
I'm still in awe thinking about how beautiful this beach was.
It's so hard to get good photos of it, as they just dont seem to show the brilliant and natural colors that you can visually see.
I absolutely love beaches and have been to well over 100 of them. This is the most beautiful one I have ever seen.
It didn't disappoint!
It's a little bit of a walk to get to it from where the bus stops. It can get a little crowded, but you can walk about thigh high through the water to go across to another patch of land that had areas available to put a towel out and enjoy the scenery.
It really does have pink sand!
Beautiful!

Great tour from beginning...
Great tour from beginning to end. Yiannis is a wonderful guide, punctual and knowledgeable of Greek History. He interacted with us and really ensured the group was satisfied. My bestie and I learned much and that is owed to Yiannis. Great experience with the Someliers learning about Olive oil; difference between extra virgin oil and olive oil. Wine tastings were really good. Omg the lunch at Mhaia was excellent and so delicious. Much gratitude to Yiannis.

Great day out
We really enjoyed this trip. We tasted 10 different wines at 2 wineries with snacks at both places (which was enough for lunch). We also visited an old olive tree which had a really interesting history. The driver Yanis was really lovely and gave us an amazing history of the island whilst we were travelling. We had a great day.

Perfect Way to Explore Crete
This was by far, one of the best activities and tours we have done and a great way to see the more mountainous side of Greece. It’s a family business and you can tell the people that work there all have a great time. Mike was our guide, and he made the whole day so fun, high energy, and informative along the way. I am so glad we did this tour and will recommend this tour / company to anyone who comes to visit Crete! Thank you, Mike, for making our day so memorable!

Agios Nikalaos and Spinalonga Day Trip - Book Your Trip Now!
Day trip to Agios Nikalaos and Spinalonga is a must for visitors to Heraklion and the surrounding areas. Manos was a terrific and smart tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the places that we visited. He also took special care that we knew when to be back to the bus for the next part of the trip. You get to see a lot of Lasithi on this trip. This part of Crete is extremely beautiful. The boat ride to Spinalonga Island was enjoyable with gorgeous scenery. Just about the right amount of time for each activity. Altino Travel Co. did a great job with all the travel arrangements. I highly recommend this tour.

Well organised tour
Well-organized tour with interesting stories from the guide and an amazing beach. You get about 4 hours at the beach, but keep in mind that it takes around 20 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the shore, so in total you spend about 3h30m on the beach. Afterwards, we had about 1 hour in the village and enjoyed dinner. I would have preferred a better bus, as some seats in the back were broken. However, overall I definitely recommend this tour — the guide made the trip amazing with his jokes and funny facts. Special thanks to the driver, who drove carefully along the serpentine road, so we didn’t feel sick during the ride.

Amazing hike of Samaria Gorge
Amazing and challenging hike. As advertised. Amazing views and stunning scenery. The whole thing was well-organized. Prompt bus pickup at my hotel at 6am, and safe transportation to the start and from the ferry drop off. Amazing guide. You are at the whim
Of the ferry schedule to start the return so it is a full day (back to my hotel at 9:00pm). Not for the feint of heart. The first 4km is a steep downward hike - stone stairs, uneven and rocky footing. The descent was less steep for the rest. But you need to maintain focus for footing.

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.

Fabulous!
Simply delightful! A true family experience with a dozen people. The hosts were magnanimous with their time, energy, teaching of local history and the good. The preparation was really fun , lots to laugh about and engage with others. The final product, the dinner was OMG fantastic. Strongly recommend this experience!
