Excellent and knowledgeable tour - A great oversight of the Battle of Crete provided by our guide. It was special for me as my Dad had fought in the battle with the New Zealand Army and we visited many of the places he would have been at. Our guide had a great knowledge of the NZers’ participation in the Chania area.

Great tour with great guide - We found the tour covered all the information on the battles - my father was in the allied forces and taken prisoner on Crete in world war 2 and Babis not sure of spelling) our guide helped piece together his movements and story during the war. He was extremely helpful and his knowledge was exceptional - articulated very well - he was a great guide - we enjoyed his company and great sense of humor. Bobbie Greg Melbourne Australia

absolutely interesting - This is a part of history that we didn't know and which seems to have been important. We had the opportunity to meet a very passionate collector of objects from this war. The sandwiches offered at the end aren't great but the day was really good
