Two Middle age ladies exploring Greece

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a very worthwhile day trip. The bus was very comfortable, the driver George and guide, Maria, were very friendly and knowledgeable. The towns are charming, the stop at the lake was a welcome break in the long drive back to Herakleon. They provided a sack lunch, which was a surprise treat. If you have limited time in Crete, this is a great way to see the sites.

Orange Travel - Full day trip to Rethymno, Chania and Lake Kournas - Crete

Published on Jul, 2024

The full day trip to Rethymno, Chania and Lake Kournas was very interesting and the views on route were amazing. The tour guide, Maria was very informative on the history of each location visited. She was very welcoming and spoke several European languages with ease.

Best experience

Published on Jul, 2024

The guide was excellent ( she is fluent speaking English, French , German and polish => big points for her) the bus is clean and well organised. All was perfect maybe a suggestion we need more time to spend in RĂ©thymnon.^^ I do highly recommend. Big thanks to all the team.

Beautiful

Published on Jul, 2024
