  • Incredible Crete! reviewer 1
    · October 26th, 2024
    Very 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.

    This 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.

    An 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!

    We 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!
