Fabulous - Fabulous. Best tour ever. Anthony is charming and so helpful. We contacted him directly and he answered all my questions, and I had a lot. My husband has physical challenges and Anthony was so accommodating and helpful. Can’t speak highly enough about our experience.

Fabulous Tour! - Great Experience! Our guide George was excellent! Enjoyed the learning about how olive oil is made, the drive through Lasithi Plateau, the Cretan lunch was scrumptious, visit to the monastery, Krassi village and lookout points. Highly recommend the Lasithi Plateau Tour!

Highly recommended - Loved the olive oil factory, the views, the monastery & ceramics factory. Unfortunately Zeus cave is closed for maintenance, which they told us beforehand. Lunch was great. Driver George was flexible & knowledgeable. Comfortable van with only 4 guests, not crammed into a jeep

Best tour on Crete - This has been my favorite tour by far. Antony was fantastic. The group was small (8) and everything he showed us was fascinating. The lunch was out of this world. It was better that the food tour we did. I highly recommend!

Great day tour with lots to see! - We ended up seeing an olive oil press, a monastery and the cave of Zeus as the cherry on top as described, all of which were beautiful locations, and the guide had fun things to tell about each of them. On top of that, our guide Antonis also showed us other smaller places like old windmills and the oldest olive tree in the world, which are nearby. Afterwards, we had a traditional lunch at a local place which was delicious. On the way back, we stopped for some picturesque views. Overall a great experience and worth the money!

Visit another Crete you won't forget - Wonderful day, we visited magical places with breathtaking views! Thanks to our Guide George who made us discover an authentic Crete, and regaled us with delicious Cretan specialties. Thanks also for his patience in climbing up to the Cave of Zeus... a bit rough but what a show!!

Don't even bother hesitate with this one. It's a must do. - Really good trip where you will enjoy : - The gorgeous views in a comfy van with the AC on. - Some really cool and pretty spots. - Some traditional Greek foods. (And olive oil of course) - The awesome driver that is also the best photographer, guide and overall an amazing person. (If you get George as driver well consider you have the best) (DISCLAIMER: Zeus cave is a bit high up, it will require both legs strength and cardio. But it is worth your sweat you'll see)

In general 5 star - Trip started very friendy, privat transport, nicely described places, she gave us time to look around a take a pic or answer questions about culture. She was open to go with us to marketplace to buy something or see how people live. So service was 5 star, only from monastery I expect more to see or learn, but it just personal prefrence
