Fun, relaxed day in the villages - My wife and I had a wonderful day on the Zeus Cave tour. While the cave was great, the highlight was spending the day with our guide and getting away from the bustling crowds. The meal we had was wonderful, and would gladly book another trip with Cretan Vioma.

great experience - One of the best days of these holidays! We saw a lot of new places, learned a lot about living here, the culture, the stories and the saying. 7h that fly by. We had the best food ever, and Zeus Cave was a real experience. I recommend this trip to everyone. I would do this trip again immediately.

Amazing! - Courteous and professional family-owned tour company. This is the perfect tour for those looking for a half-day tour of Crete. Our lunch stop was fantastic and we received more than expected, including wine with our delicious meal, and a thoughtful loot bag at the end of our trip. Being in a small group made the tour feel personalized. Highly recommend this experience and tour company!
