This was a fantastic...
This was a fantastic experience. Lots of fun and interesting stuff to see. It was the best of everything of Crete. We had some delicious Cretan food and wine, saw a beautiful monastery and also the archaeological site of Knossos. George has done an amazing job with this tour and I highly recommend it

Best company ever
We had the pleasure of touring with Apostolos, and it was hands-down one of the best guided experiences we've had — from start to finish.
Even before the tour, the company was fantastic to deal with. They communicated clearly to confirm all the details and made sure we could be picked up right from our hotel, which made everything effortless on our end. When he arrived, he made a point of checking that we were comfortable before we even got started a small touch that set the tone for the whole day.
His knowledge was genuinely impressive he didn't just recite facts, he wove them into stories that brought each site to life. Every question we asked, no matter how detailed, he answered with real depth and clear enthusiasm for the subject.
Our start ended up running late, but Apostolos handled it with total professionalism. Instead of rushing us through the rest of the tour to make up time, he adjusted on the fly and made sure we still got the full, unhurried experience at every stop nothing felt cut short or skipped over. That kind of care for the visitor's experience, even when the schedule works against you, says a lot about someone's dedication to their craft.
If you're looking for a company and guide who combines deep expertise, genuine attentiveness, and great communication from the very first message, ask for Apostolos. Highly recommended!!

The BEST tour in Crete - highly recommend it
I booked the tour as a gift for my girlfriend based on the many positive reviews.
I couldn’t have made a better choice! We had a lovely day exploring Crete and the Lasithi plateau, getting to know through the lens of our amazing native tour guide Spyros some super interesting insights on the island, traditions and culture.
Spyros was THE BEST tour guide, charming, knowledgeable and attentive.
We enjoyed every second of the tour, from visiting the windmills to picking up strawberries and visiting Zeus’ cave.
Would highly recommend the tour and Spyros to anyone visiting Crete.

Great day tour in Crete
Stavros was a terrific guide on our full day tour of Knossos & Lasithi Plateu Villages Tour. He kept us informed and entertained with his humor throughout the day. The highlights for sure were learning about how to select the best olive oil, hiking up and entering the beautiful Zeus cave, and seeing Knossos Palace. Definitely consider this tour if you are visiting the island of Crete.

Great Outdoor and Indoor Guides
Our outdoor guide was incredible. It was a very hot day (June in a heat wave) and our guide took us through all the key spots and allowed us to take pictures before giving more detailed explanations in the shade. We had a small group, so it made navigating very easy. Our guide was very knowledgeable and tied in the mythology to actual events to piece everything together seamlessly. Very professional and experienced. We took the bus to the museum after, and due to heavy traffic, timing was tight. Our museum guide was quiet, but delightful and took us through the high points of Minoan society and artifacts.

Include this on your holiday!
This was the greatest experience of our 2 week vacation in Greece. The kids absolutely loved it! The food was delicious. The service was great. The show was second to none! The amount of talent on the stage was mind blowing. The production and choreography was wonderful! There was a large variety to watch and the cast was very interactive. We look forward to visiting again on a future visit to Crete. I highly recommend this , don’t miss out! Wish we could add more stars than 5.

Awesome scenery and great people.
A great way to see Crete! Beautiful scenery. Our guides were awesome. My 26 yr old daughter and I each got our own quad and wished in hindsight we would have shared one. Our thumbs got tired! Chicken skewer lunch with tomatoes/cukes and fries were also served. Definitely would recommend!

Our guide was awesome! He...
Our guide was awesome! He worked around our allergies and food preferences and was very knowledgeable about the different types of food and the meaning behind them! He asked lots of questions about our culture and we both got to learn! Overall, we had a great experience and left very full (don’t eat several hours beforehand if you want to make it through).

Wonderful day on the water!
What a wonderful day on the water! The captains were delightful, very kind and attentive, warm and friendly. There were 12 passengers which seemed too many at first but we were then aloud to spread out and sit on the front deck of the boat which was PERFECT! The blue water was beautiful and the lunch was superb! Dia Island wasn’t much to see, a place to drop anchor and be protected from the wind. We had a blast swimming, snorkeling and SUPing around. Thank you Alex and Vascili for a wonderful day!

5 Star Food Tour!
We had the most wonderful food tour with Magda. She was a perfect ambassador of Cretan hospitality, history and culture. She took us to places in Heraklion we may no have gone on our own, and the food…first, I’ve never eaten so much on a food tour and we usually take one in a every major city we visit. Secondly, Magda took us to places that had unique offerings that only a local would know. One of the restaurants served us lamb, sheep and pork raised from the owner’s farm in the mountains. And I loved that she encouraged us to eat with our hands. We were immersed into the Cretan culture for a day. Loved it!

Amazing tour
This tour was amazing! Special thanks to our guide Manos and to our driver who ensured a lovely and safe experience for everyone. Agios Nikolaos is an amazing place that we instantly fell in love with, and Spinalonga is just breathtaking. The operating company was fantastic, a team of professionals who quickly found a solution to reduce our return time in difficult traffic. I highly recommend this tour!
