I cannot recommend this tour enough! We spent 10 days in Greece and this was by far the best. Our tour guide Spiros was local to Crete and was able to give us an authentic tour. It was nice being driven around and exploring. Our entire group felt so comfortable and easy traveling around, feeling well-guided with no rush. I would book again if I came back.

Spiros was our tour guide and took us from the tourist areas and showed us the country areas of Crete. It was like having an inside tour of the real Crete. This tour actually made our trip 5 plus stars. It was great, no doubt, this is a must tour for anyone looking to see the real Crete.

I feel like we got to see Crete in a way we never would have if it weren’t for our tour guide Spiros. He was very personable and treated us like family. We had a great time.

This tour of Crete led by Spyros and his colleague Marina at Knossos, felt personal and insightful into both the history and present day life of Crete.
The full-day excursion included an olive oil factory tour, a trip up into the mountains to an impressive agriculture area, and a visit to our guide’s small village to experience everyday life. We learned a lot about ancient Minoan life and came to appreciate the essence of Crete today through the eyes of Spyros. This was one of the best days of our 3 weeks in Turkey and Greece. Very valuable and entertaining. Highly recommend it!

The tour was a low season and not many tourist at the all the sites on Nov 20, 23. Spyros did an excellent job of showing us around the area. He took us to the olive oil manufacturing, the wind mills, the Zeus cave then lunch/snacks. The lunch was perfect homemade meals with breads, salads, beans, olive, cheese and Spanakopita ect.. A lot of food. Then we went to strawberry picking and also tasted local Greek yogurt and honey. He is Very knowledgeable and friendly. Provided an excellent experience and would definitely work with him again.

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.

The tour was one of the best, enjoyed by young and not so young. Our multi-lingual guide, Marinas, is a Cretan who knows the area, the local people, and information about the island. Introduced us to local flora and fauna. He was entertaining, easy going, and made us feel welcomed. Excellent communication for pick-up at Heraklion hotel.

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!
