History, culture and all things Crete with Kostas!

Published on Jun, 2024

Kostas was such a hospitable and knowledgeable guide. A source of all things historical and cretian we were impressed by his communication, attention to detail and general care for our experience. I would highly recommend Kostas whatever your needs may be as he was able to customize eveything to our needs; make recommendations and changes as needed and on the fly. We stopped at the most wonderful local taverna in herklion during our travels and really were able to maximize our short time in this beautiful place. If you’re thinking about booking Kostas and his team don’t think anymore and book! Thank you!

Beautiful Crete

Published on Jul, 2023

The Island of Crete is great! Angie was is an amazing guide. Very informative about the island of Crete as well as the Greek myths and legends. Along with Costa, they both made the tour enjoyable. The Museum was fun...lots of pottery. The ruins of Knosos were ok but definitely not for the summer heat as it's very open. The Greek Mythology Thermatic Park was the highlight for both my 17 and 9 year old. Nico was amazing making time to do some pottery with my daughter. Angie knows all the good spots and not having to wait around for other people made the long tour enjoyable.

Angie the tour guide is the best!

Published on Jul, 2023

Kostas was very nice and accommodating. We were a party of 7 and we had a great time site seeing the Heraklion area and learned about history and current Greek life. Kostas went out of his way to make sure everyone saw something they were interested in including a stop to show us almond and walnut trees! Would highly recommend this trip!!

Best excursion EVER!!

Published on Aug, 2022

Kostas was awesome, dare I say, the best part of our short week visit to the wonderful island of Crete. Our excursion started off with an on time pickup in an immaculate Mercedes VIP level mini bus. Loaded with waters and snacks, handmade by his mother. The trip was filled with expert advice on how to spend our limited time in Crete, amazing local culture and stimulating conversations about his homeland… and food, oh my, the food recommendations were out of this world fantastic. Kostas was the perfect ambassador to Crete. We never felt out of place or lost, never felt uneasy or unsafe, like we have with other excursions in other cities around the world. If you are thinking of taking a trip to Crete and want to get the best bang for your buck, book this trip and hope Kostas is available!!
