Amazing day on the water
It was amazing. The cruise out to the island was so pleasant. The catamaran went at a really nice pace to really enjoy the ride. Especially sitting on the netting watching the water. The swim was so nice and the water was crystal clear. , They supplied everything you could want for a day in the water.
The dinner was delicious.
I truly can’t imagine anyone rating this less than 5 stars. It was perfect and I consider it a bargain for the price. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great adventure, beautiful scenery, lots of laughs, and an amazing guide!
We had a fantastic quad trip and absolutely loved the experience! Our guide Bob was brilliant — very funny, friendly and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The off-road part was definitely rough and bumpy 😂, but that was also what made it so much fun and exciting! We saw some beautiful scenery and had a great time from start to finish.
Highly recommend this trip, especially if you want a bit of adventure, laughter and something different from the usual holiday activities. Thank you, Bob, for such a great day! ❤️

Wonderful time with “real sailing”
It was a wonderful sailing trip. Beautiful scenery, plenty of spaces, great line of music, and delicious meals! The water is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom without snorkeling gear! Tried finishing for the first time, which was a lot of fun! We got some good wind and got to do real sailing on the way back, which is super rare with these types of catamaran tours. Greatly appreciate the captain & the crew (sorry, I didn't catch your names) for their wonderful hospitality! :)

Great day visiting the countryside
Our guide for the day was Spyros. He was fun, lively, full of information, and it was important to him that we had a good day. We started at Knossos. He gave us an hour to walk around the grounds. He knew that two cruise ships were coming into the area, so we went here first to avoid the crowds. If you can go to the National Archaeological Museum a day or two before your visit here. It will make it more special. He drove us to an area with dozens of windmills where grain would have been milled. One of the mills has been restored , so you can see what the others would have looked like. Stopped at a farm and picked strawberries to go with the white wine that Spyros had for us. Went my a small plant that produced olive oil. We had an olive oil tasting. They make raki at this place of which we had a sample. Had coffee/tea at a tiny village where the 80 year old owner had worked for years. Stopped by a potter’s studio. My husband made a pot with the artist’s suggestions. We hiked up to a cave that was the birthplace of Zeus. Then walked down to the bottom of the cave observing all the stalactites that were lit up. We stopped for lunch at the is lovely place with beautiful plants on the grounds. We had a terrific lunch on their veranda. Spyro stopped along the way to bring us samples of wild herbs to smell. It was a lovely day. Thank you, Spyro. We are at present sitting on a beach that you recommended and it is wonderful.

A night to remember.
This was the most fantastic experience.
From start to finish with our wonderful guide to the family that greeted us when we arrived this far exceeded our expectations.
Very informative, from the family history to the history of Crete and on to the wonderful food that we prepared with the help and guidance of the wonderful Maria.
So much food and wine.
Would recommend this 100 percent.

The best way to enjoy Chrissi Island
Definitely the best way to enjoy a trip to Chrissy Island! You get a peaceful ride to the island and a small boat takes you directly to the beach with all your belongings, before the big boat arrives and the crowds come in. We loved having some quiet time on the beach first! When the bigger boat eventually came, we saw people having to swim to reach the island, and at that point we were even more convinced that this cruise was absolutely the better choice!
Then you’re taken back to the yacht for a lovely Cretan lunch, followed by swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear water with lots of marine life to see. The staff were super friendly and attentive throughout.
100% worth it!

Zeus’ Cave and the Cretan mountains.
Definitely my favorite tour during my stay in Crete. Guide was excellent. He pointed out all the local plants, animals, and geography.
He gave great advice regarding Zeus’ Cave. Go slowly up to the entrance. It’s a good hike uphill.
Lunch was really good too.
Also make sure you have good walking shoes for this trip.

This tour was Great, and...
This tour was Great, and George was just fabulous. His knowledge of the area and history of Chania was second to none. As a private tour, he catered for our individual needs, and gave us super recommendations of places to visit in “the old town”. Thank you George, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with you.

Absolutely Incredible Tour!
This was single handedly the most fantastic tour I’ve ever been on. Our tour guide and driver Daryl was just incredible. He’s personable, funny, a great driver, and brought us to the best parts of Crete that I never would have been able to see or get to on my own. He taught me so much about Crete I never would have known either. He drove us to some of the highest mountaintops on the island, taking the most remote roads that I never would have been able to navigate or drive on myself. My group and I got to see some of the best hidden Greek mountain towns and see the most incredible landscapes I’ve ever seen in my life. I really wanted to get to know the local culture coming to Crete, and that’s exactly what Daryl brought us to. Our group was 4 couples as well and he happily helped take photos of all of us with our partners in front of the landscape views. The lunch at the local Taverna was delicious as well. This is the best experience you can get of Crete if you’re not sure where to go (like me) but you want to see those hidden gems and meet local people. Highly recommend!! Only note - the mountain roads get pretty bumpy but as someone who gets carsick very easily I felt fine the whole time.
