• Accompanied by a professional guide, you will stroll through the streets of the Venetian castle and learn about the interesting history of the fortified island of Spinalonga.

Agios Nikolaos is beautiful and we enjoyed the day overall! That said, we were disappointed in the Spinalonga portion.
We were told once we got off the boat we would be split by language and go with a tour guide. This turned out to be very disorganized once we reached the island, with several guides trying to make sense of the crowd and who was taking whom. We were then told there was no one to conduct the English tour for another 30-40 minutes and that we could walk around if we wanted or wait for a guide. We took some photos and wandered but figured we would have a better experience seeing the island with a tour guide.
Once we met with a guide she described and led us through a single street and repeatedly asked if we had seen the other highlights of the island, scoffing when we said we had not. This was frustrating, as we were led to believe that a tour guide would be the one to “tour” us through these highlights.
After finishing her “street tour” we only had fifteen minutes before our boat was scheduled to leave. We rushed to explore on our own, but missed out on most of the highlights.
In waiting for the tour guide we were led to believe that she would show us around the island; we wish someone would have said to explore most of the island on our own. If you find yourself without a tour guide after arriving, we suggest exploring the island on your own.

Nothing more to see today. 15 years ago this place was magical. Now you pay dearly to stay for a very short time and nothing is accessible anymore. Too bad, because this place is full of history

Booked this trip in the Status MLB office in Mononaftis Beach Mononaftis, Ag. Pelagia 715 00, Greece. The agent we booked with was very informative of all the trips and made our choice easy. The tour was first class, the guide was excellent speaking English, German and French. Highly recommended booking with this company.

Had a fabulous day. Did approximately an hour in Agios Nicholas and then continued our journey to Elounda where we caught the boat over to Spinolonga. Once on the island we were given a guided tour of the south side which was very informative and then we were able to explore the north side before boarding the boat over to kintoufah beach for a swim before having a lovely bbq back on the boat. Sorry about the spelling. Overall would thoroughly recommend this trip

Agios Nikolaos and Spinalonga were very good and fascinating.
However the transfer there and back were not so nice. Too many stops/pick ups, also changes of vehicles made it a very long day. The guide, Poppy, she was good.

Agios is a beautiful seaside town with quaint character. Spinalonga is fascinating and very interesting to visit. This is a enjoyable trip for the destinations, however you travel in a packed bus full of people. You make several stops on the way to the port and returning. The drive there is interesting in that you do learn the history of the area you travel past. Poppy our tour leader really does a wonderful job explaining in several languages and clear communication throughout the trip. If you do not mind a crowd then this trip is for you. It was a very hot day, the trip felt long and so it was a bit underwhelming for our taste. I would do a smaller group tour for this if we had to do it over again.

The tour guide is very knowledgeable and the whole day well planned. Spinalonga is fascinating and the swimming and barbecue afterwards really made the day. The boat staff on Apollonio were really great too.

The guide Eirini was very knowledgable. The bbq was lovely and the swim at kolokitha was great (just enough time to cool us down).
