- SGSheri Ray· June 6th, 2025The entire Crete trip was beyond my and my husband's expectations from Crete airport pickup to Crete airport departure! We would have liked to explore a couple of more days, but we would have needed a day to rest. Argri and Dionysis were excellent tour guides and helped make our experiences memorable. It was a perfect mix of ancient sites, history, city walks, some shopping, GREAT food, boat rides, some beautiful spots to take a small break and enjoy the scenery, beaches, museums...and making great memories.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- Ruth· October 26th, 2024Very enjoyable week experiencing Crete with a varied itinerary, good organisation and an excellent guide with Constantin. Shared meals were a brilliant way to experience a wide range of tastes, cooking methods and foods. Just the right balance of archeology, and never too much! I would recommend this as a very good, small group way to explore Crete.Show moreTrip date: October 2024
- FCFrank R· October 25th, 2024This was an excellent small group tour. It does a great deal over a short period, balancing historical sites and beaches, with two a couple of boat trips with great lunches. Guide and driver were both outstanding -- knowledgeable, friendly and engaged.Show more
Trip date: October 2024 - ACAlice· May 21st, 2024An excellent adventure! Our two guides, Dionysus and Constantine, were 100% on top of trip details, planned and carried out a wonderful excursion into Cretan life, nature, and history, and treated us to a feast of Cretan food at every opportunity. The hotels were varied and high quality, and we visited beautiful spots with few other tourists as well as the “can’t miss” old towns, museums, and archeological sites. A really special, memorable time. The guides knew an astounding amount of history and mythology!Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- ACAlice Elizabeth· May 21st, 2024We loved it! Great variety of sites and hotels. Dionysis gave us a colorful window into Greek life, and his driving on the narrow curvy roads was superb. Constantine knew SO much about the history and mythology and was fascinating to learn from. And they made sure we had a feast of Cretan food delights every day. Great hotels, food and adventures!Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- LLLawrence· October 15th, 2022The tour of Crete was indeed Incredible due to two great gentlemen! RG and Kostintinos displayed the utmost professionalism and class as they drove us all through the island of Crete. They were very genuine and thoughtful to Michele and I throughout the entire trip. They both knew that we were eager to experience and learn about Crete. Michele and I wanted to see Crete through the eyes of the locals that’s reside there and RG and Kostas delivered! We went off the grid and had experiences with Epos Tours that we never could have planned ourselves. Kostas is a wealth of information regarding the culture and history of Crete. From the minute you meet these two men you will bond and have the best travel experience ever! Miss you both and thanks again!Show moreTrip date: September 2022
