Fabulous day trip

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an amazing day. Nektarious is an incredible guide. I learned more about Cretan history, mythology & topography in one day than I ever learned in school. The tour ran exactly as described and our driver Manos was fabulous.

Relaxing Trip, mixed with Views and History.

Loved this tour, It was a relaxing ride through the country side mixed with great views and history. Would honestly do it again, and would recommend.

Real Crete in a day!

My partner and I, both Italians, had an amazing time during this excursion in Crete. From the very beginning, Renia, the consultant from the agency, was incredibly kind and helpful. She made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire experience. Her local knowledge and suggestions really added a personal touch. The excursion itself was a perfect way to discover the real Crete. We were immersed in the island's rich history and breathtaking landscapes, far from the usual tourist spots. It felt like a genuine journey through time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and cultural depth of this incredible island. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to dive into Crete's history and charm. Thank you, Renia, and the entire team for making this a trip to remember!

The best trip to know the real Greece

I went on the trip with my girlfriend, we had a blast learning about how things work in the inner part of Greece and the ancient palace of Knossos, with a pitstop at the olive festival where we ate very good food, truly a wonderful experience, it's very recommended. See you next time and thanks to Renia from an Italian couple

Soula is the BEST!

Published on Sep, 2024

The trip we did was just to Knossos and then Heraklion. The tour guide we had was Soula. She was amazing and obviously so passionate about sharing her knowledge. Best tour guide that we have had with our trips booked through you.
