“We had an amazing tour. Kostas was the best...very personable, outstanding service, and really care about making sure we had a great time. It was as if you visited your favorite cousin who lives and Crete and he took off from work to tour you around. We learned a lot from him, more than just about the tour itself. The private tour is the best way to explore these important sites at your own pace, and having Kostas as your guide you will learn a lot about the culture and know where you will find the best food. We highly recommend this tour, worth every penny... Not to mention it's…”

She offered so much knowledge about the history of Crete and the various towns and villages and lake side that we enjoyed. She chose the perfect spot for lunch with a Lakeside view that I will remember as a highlight of the day. Helen is an excellent driver, and the only thing better was her knowledge and history that she so willingly offered. We could have spent days with her! Don’t miss this tour well worth the money.”

She’s detail oriented, very attentive and caring. Honestly, the way she took care of us made me feel like…”
