Wonderful experience! Spyro was very kind and shared his life and Greek culture with us. We would highly recommend Spyro to other travelers.

This excursion turned out to be so much more than we expected! While we did visit the highlighted attractions, our driver, Spyros, also took us into the Lasithi Plateau and showed us many things we did not anticipate! We picked and ate strawberries, visited a very traditional coffee shop, learned about the free roaming goats and the vast vegetation of the plateau area. We also visited a pottery store and family factory.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the Private Tour to Lasithi Plateau and Knossos Palace.
Your kind words for our staff and services are much appreciated.
We hope to host you on another tour in the future.

Amazing tour! Really showcases the part of Crete you didn’t realise existed. Eddie (our guide/driver) was fabulous! The trip with him was entertaining, knowledgable and engaging. The group size was small (4 on our trip but max 8) so it beats larger organised trips where you’re sat on a coach for hours upon hours plus there is the added bonus that there’s a little more flexibility with the time. The only way to access the mouth of the cave is by foot (or donkey at €10) but take it at your own pace and admire the views whilst you’re on your way up but the little trek is worth it. Each part of the trip is nicely spread out so you don’t spend much of the day being transported. Well worth booking.

This tour was the highlight of our stay in Crete. Our guide was wonderful and very nice! He is very knowledgeable and enjoys sharing information about the area and Greek culture. We got to see many villages on our way to and from the cave. We stopped for Greek coffee at a traditional cafe and had a wonderful experience there. The trip was just a an awesome experience!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. Thank you so much Selma and looking forward to have you back in another of our tours.
