Great Crete tour - It was awesome! Yani was very informative and a wonderful tour guide. He took good care of us. : ) Driver was very skillful! We all had a great time, except I got a little motion sickness when heading to Zeus’ cave, but I got better short after, not a big deal. Food at Seli was delicious, we all enjoyed Greece cuisine! Kids commented that Crete is their favorite place in Greece!

A perfect Cretan day - Our tour was excellent, we saw and learnt so much. Yesthimani our guide was amazing and so knowledgeable about the region and culture and made our day very enjoyable. The tour took us around the island and both Yesthimani and the driver went out of their way to ensure that we saw (and tasted) everything we wanted to at a pace that suited us. Thank you!

A day in Crete - Our entire day was special and beyond belief. We stepped off the shuttle to find our guides waiting for us. They were kind, courteous, and always took the extra time to answer every question we had and, throughout the day, remained engaged with my family. ANYONE wanting a Spanish language your of Knossos should call here first and take any worries out of your vacation, at least got this day!
