Curated food tour -local vibe
Magda was fantastic! She curated the tour to meet my food & beverage interest. We did a beautiful walk on the Venetian Walls around the city. A favorite part of the tour was going off the beaten path out of the touristy areas and meeting some of the locals highly recommend. She’s totally upbeat in a ton of fun.

Kourtaliotiko Gorge
What an amazing tour! Demitri was attentive and caring. My wife and I are in our early 70’s and the hike was a little intense but doable, just needed to take it slow. Demitri understood and assisted us all the way. Just being able to view the island with an extremely knowledgeable guide made all the difference. Demitri made sure everyone had the best experience. He catered to all. One couple was newly married and adventurous, he made sure they had the best time as well. The beach and the stop in Spili were exceptional! Lunch was delicious and the rahki (don’t know if that is spelled correctly) especially the honey cinnamon was fantastic! We definitely highly recommend this tour!!!

The most amazing day!
We had the most amazing day beautifully planned by Spyros, our local guide! We hit the palace of Knossos early to avoid the long lines, then got to learn about the manufacturing of olive oil at a local mill! The olive oil is so tasty! Then we headed into the mountains to experience local culture of the Lasithi plateau by participating in strawberry picking, tasting local tea, visiting a local pottery master, and relishing the amazing local food at a charming tavern by the Lasithi windmills! We got a fair amount of exercise with the hike to the cave of Zeus, that way we didn't feel too guilty about how much food we ate! You will not regret this chance to delve into the local culture! Thank you Spyros and Nikos for a lovely day full of memorable experiences and for treating us like family!

Excellent Tour
Great way to see the main attractions near Heraklion. Our driver Apostolos, was friendly knowledgeable and full of information all along the 8+ hour tour. He even treated us to a coffee in a historic quaint village. Lots of other great stops too. I’d recommend prearranging a guide for the tour of Knossos, if you want to get the full experience. Highly recommend this tour, it was one of the better ones on our trip.

An absolute must!!
We had an absolutely amazing experience on our Crete safari tour! The tour was family-run, and you could truly feel the care and pride they put into what they do.
From start to finish, the staff was incredible—extremely organized, attentive, and always making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. They went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group.
At the end of the tour, they surprised us with snacks, water, and traditional Greek liquor, which was such a thoughtful and fun way to finish the day. But what really stood out to us was how they helped our group afterward. We were having trouble getting a taxi, and they simply told us, “Don’t worry, we’ll sort it out.” They ended up personally driving us back to our hotel! That level of kindness and hospitality was truly exceptional.
You can tell that this family genuinely cares about their guests and wants everyone to have a wonderful experience. We would highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Crete, and we would absolutely do it again! 🇬🇷❤️

We had a great time...
We had a great time snorkeling in Crete with Chania Diving! The guides were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, they made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. The color of the Mediterranean Sea is so beautiful and clear! Highly recommend doing this if you're in Crete.

A must-see while you’re in Crete!
This is an outstanding theatrical production in a stunning space. The amazingly talented performers give it their all, heart and soul. You also get to be part of the action, a delight for children and parents alike. And the dinner itself was so delicious. We spoke with the owner, who clearly cares deeply about the whole experience for everyone. This is truly a must-see!

Excellent day trip!
We had an amazing day! The boat is very clean and comfortable, the staff onboard are amazing and very helpful! The travel time to the island is around 1 hour with amazing views all the way. Once you reach the island you get to swim in beautiful clear water and use snorkeling equipment and paddle boards. The staff have life jackets available if needed but the water is quite salty so you naturally float very easily. The food we was served was prawns with pasta, Greek salad with bread and fruit after. It was absolutely delicious and fresh! Could not recommend this trip any higher!

Don’t hesitate, just book it!
Areti was the picture of Cretan hospitality. The wineries and the wines were dynamic and beautiful and we definitely brought things home from each stop but Areti was the true highlight of the day. Her generosity in speaking about Greek life and culture truly enriched the experience. It was a joy to spend the day sipping wine and hearing about the wine, and the people in an authentic way.

A blast.
What a great time on the sailing ship. The sea was choppy that day. Upon arrival, we swam and snorkeling the clear water. Never seen so many urchins. On the return, many of us sat on the deck with legs over the side. It was really fun and a memorable time.

Beautiful experience...
Beautiful experience sailing on the ship with beautiful view, just get ready for slightly bumpy ride. Once we arrived on the island, we had time to swim, snorkeling and walk to the small cozy church on the island. For the afternoon trip, we had a chance to watch sunset on our way back.

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.
