Great trip to Chania and lake kournas - Went by bus to chania, guide was very knowledgeable and told us information about what we were passing. When we got there we were given 3 hours to site see. Then went onto lake kournas which was beautiful. You could go out in a pedalo or have something to eat in one of the taverns at the side of the lake.

Stunning places excellent guides just time slots could be better. - Excellent trip with the only downside being the timing. Chania was a beautiful place but I had heard from today's tour guide and another I went on about a traditional lamb dish to try when we get to the lake (Antichiristo is the pronunciation but not the spelling) this was indeed excellent. One of the best things I tasted in Crete but the 90 minutes is not enough time to enjoy the food and the lake properly. It's one or the other wich is a shame because the food was good but the lake is stunning and I'd have loved to take a boat out too. Tour guide Kevin and bus driver Manoles. Where spot on throughout the trip.

Comfortable trip, but too short for Chania - The coach was very comfortable. It was pleasant being picked up just a short walk from our hotel. It was a relief not to have to try and work out how to get to Chania ourselves by public transport. Somehow the buses in Rethymno town don’t seem very frequent and they don’t show the bus stops on board. This really was an easy way of getting to Chania. We enjoyed our time there, but would really have preferred more time in Chania. The guide gave some explanations during the drive, but we had trouble understanding her (even though we are British) when she was speaking English. She was clearly French speaking and has a very strong accent when speaking English. I thought she was talking about goats — turned out she was talking about gorge. On the way to Chania she talked without a microphone, which made it even harder to hear/understand her. Kournas was nice, but not that spectacular. The time there (1 1/2) is really only enough for a meal or for a bit of a swim, not for both. I think it would have been better to have had more time in Chania. Since there were 2 guides, I wonder if it would be an idea to split the group in two, do a short guided walk with each group and then let people have free time and then go back to Rethymno.
