Heraklion side of Crete

Published on Sep, 2024

The olive oil tour was most enlightening. Marionas was extremely knowledgeable. Answered all our questions and more. It was a private tour for the 4 of us. He was very flexible about which parts of the tour we wanted to spend the most time on. He took us to an amazing Greek restaurant with delicious food as well.

Amazing experience

Published on Aug, 2024

The day started early, but as soon as the tour started, we were in for a treat! Marinos, the tour guide, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The first stop was an olive oil factory, where he explained how olive oil is made, and how much olive oil cretans consume! We were fascinated, and were given enough time to look around and enjoy the experience! During the tour, he bought us coffee and fruit, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time! The van was air-conditioned, and well-maintained. We highly recommend this tour, if you want to see the “real Crete”, as well as the full experience! One of our favorite days of the whole vacation!

Saw it all and had a great experience!

We had the best day seeing eastern Crete with Marinos! It was a full day touring the olive oil factory, climbing up to Zeus Cave, and exploring Spinalonga Island. Marinos is a wealth of information regarding Crete and was a truly excellent host and guide for our private tour. We appreciated seeing so much in one day and Marinos’ flexibility based on our preferences. I highly recommend booking this tour; many thanks, Marinos!

12/10 stars- phenomenal

Published on Jun, 2024

12/10 stars! A perfect day with a phenomenal guide, Marinos. The day was well planned and Marinos was a knowledgeable guide who considered our every need. Could not have been happier with the tour.

Our Best Day in Crete

Published on May, 2024

What a fantastic day we had! Marinos treated us like his own family and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Crete. We loved learning about the history and culture of Crete from showing us his wedding video to explaining centuries long traditions of the Cretin people. My entire family enjoyed the adventure, from my teenager to my husband. Highly recommend!
