Supernatural Experience in Crete with Olga! - We arranged a private tour with a personal guide and driver. Our guide, Olga Evangelia Solanou, was personable and informed; she knew exactly how to create an experience that was all things to everyone! Her knowledge and intuition about creating the ideal visitor experience for us included visits to beaches, villages, botanical gardens, and the best epicurean adventure ever! Our hope was to experience the authentic life of Crete and its sites, sounds and flavors and Olga saw to it we did!
Both she and our driver Vasilis accommodated group mobility issues and our visit at each stop was flawless. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time.
The professionalism and personable interactions with Olga and Vasilis made our visitor experience unforgettable. We came to Greece as strangers and we left as friends.

Amazing trip highly recommend! - Olga and Stefanos were amazing. Olga’s explanation of everything was interesting and full of history. My children (8 and 11) enjoyed the mythological stories and we all learned something new.
Olga and Stefanos could not have been kinder and more helpful to my mother who also joined us and had some difficulty walking.
Their attentiveness could not be matched. We would do a tour with them again in a heartbeat.
Thank you again!!

Truly unforgettable experience - This was by far the best private tour we’ve ever had. From the start, Snami Travel were eager to accommodate every activity we wished for the day. On the day of the tour, we were thoroughly impressed by our guide Nikos, who was professional, mindful, and knowledgeable. We cannot recommend him highly enough. There’s also no need to say that Elafonissi is absolutely stunning!

Unforgettable Family Tour in Chania - Our Chania tour was a main highlight of our Mediterranean cruise. We saw Elafonisi Beach, the cave of Agia Sofia, and had the most delicious traditional Cretan lunch (yamas!) with a gorgeous view.
The tour company was great from start to finish. They answered questions quickly and kept us informed. Olga, our guide, sent a WhatsApp message the morning of our trip to make sure we found her very quickly upon leaving the ship (we did find her easily).
Olga and our driver, Panos, were on time with a clean 15-passenger van. They helped us shape our day just how we liked.
Olga knew so much about Chania and Greek history, and shared lots of interesting facts. She and Panos were wonderful with the five kids we had with us (ages 7-12).
We loved how Olga always told us what she and Panos were discussing whenever they talked to each other in Greek. It made us feel included and showed how kind she was.
They gave us options to change and tailor our day if we wanted. They took care of all the timing, which made things easy for us.
Olga gave us just the right amount of info. She answered all our questions and kept us super engaged without making it feel like a lesson.
They treated us like old friends. We'd never been to Greece before, but now we want to go back because of them!
We liked Chania even more than we expected. Olga and the team helped us make great memories. We're so thankful for this perfect day.
If you're in Chania, do this tour. It's great for families and anyone who wants to see the best of Crete in one day. You'll love it!

Relaxing Private Tour of Crete - I am a 46-year veteran travel agent and I find taking a private tour makes the most of you valuable vacationing time and allows you to see the highlights at your own pace. Dimitrios was a fantastic driver. He was courteous, helpful, and made us feel safe. He was very knowledgeable about the area and provided interesting information about both the natural and historical locations. The restaurant he suggested for lunch was straight out of a magazine. We loved every minute and I highly recommend this tour.

Great Way to See This Side of the Island - Nikos was a fantastic guide. He taught us so much about the history and culture of Crete while we were on our day trip. Elafonisi Beach is crowded as mentioned in most reviews, but still worth seeing. The water is calm and shallow which was perfect for kids to play in. This is a really nice way to see parts of Crete outside of the city. Nikos took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing trip to Elafonisi - Perfect trip wtih Snami travel. Our driver/guide Nicos was absolutely wonderful! He was punctual, knowlegable, super pleasant and created a perfect day for us. Just some personal touches, such as home grown bananas, variety of loukomades and all beverages possible for the beach trip made such a difference. We also learned so much about Crete! , After the trip to Elafonisi, we we taken to the wonderful village restaurant in the mountains where we enjoyed authentic Cretan lunch, which was probably one of the best ones we had during the whole 18 days of vacation in Greece. I highly recomment any tours that Snami travel offers.

Elafonisi Beach - Don’t hesitate to book your activity to Elafonisi beach with Snami Travel. The driver Dimitrios was very kind, respectful and interesting. He was also driving carefully, was always on time and accomodated us the best he can. The mini buses are ultra clean and in good conditions. We stop for lunch on the way back at a local restaurant suggested by Dimitrios and it was really good.
