Fantastic day with a wonderful guide, experiencing life in Crete and so much about the island. We tasted home cooked treats and so much more. Well worth doing this tour!!

What a wonderful day touring ancient sites in Crete with Kostas! The Mercedes Benz van we had was spacious and incredibly comfortable. He made our journey incredibly special by allowing us to customize our day. At every site he gave us a ton of historical information and analysis of the information available to date about the sites. He also surprised us with home baked Cretian sweets at every stop baked by his super talented mother which were incredible. If you do one tour in Crete it should be this one!

Fun tour, knowledgeable and fun guide. Comfortable ride. Don’t climb to the cave unless you’re in good shape. Just ride a donkey. Amazing food all along the way, too.

One of the best guides we've ever had. Knowledgeable and informative; he asked us how much detail we wanted, and when we said a lot, he gave us a lot. He also gave us some homemade (by his mother) treats, a jar of honey, figs, and some other treats....definitely an above and beyond guide. Knossos was amazing, as was the cave of Zeus.

Had the most amazing tour guide…Angie!! The best!!! Very knowledgeable, professional, well informed, knows the best times to get into Museum’s & avoid cues…Angie filled the day with perks, local treats & extra time to enjoy the day & learn. Highly recommend her 👍👍

We had a fabulous time with Kostas. Even if the weather was somewhat less than great he kept us both entertained and informed throughout the trip. In particular, his knowledge if the ancient world and desire to spark original thoughts really kept us on our toes! We loved the little extras Kostas brought to the trip - from a visit to an olive oil factory to the honey from his family. We can thoroughly recommend this trip!

Dear Mr. Darren,
Thank you so much for your review. Hopefully, next time the weather will cooperate and let us have a more enjoyable day.
Kind Regards,
Kostas
