“It's a really professional organisation and everyone is very friendly.”
Land Rover safari retracing Minoan paths in Crete, mixing mythology stops, wildlife sightings, and a hearty lunch with wine.
“Stravos was amazing, he truly enhanced the trip and the pork was excellent. Will definitely recommend.”
A private day from Heraklion to Knossos, Titakis winery for a five-wine tasting, then Archanes for lunch and village time.
“Though our guide was a little difficult to find at first (our internet was poor so we didn’t get meeting spot updates, perhaps a name sign would be helpful), Yanni was amazing. We didn’t need the full time at Knossos (plus it was darn hot), Read more”
Private 8-hour Heraklion day trip with Knossos and museum skip-the-line help, Messara wine stops, and a Venetian harbor walk.
“The private tour is totally worth it. The guide and driver were both awesome. The guide gave us a great history lesson. She took time to explain everything and gave us ample time to absorb all the data. What an awesome day. Highly recommended”
