Excellent private day trip from Chaina. - Knossos palace was amazing and definitely made our visit to the museum afterwards more meaningful. I was able to navigate the terrain despite bad knees. Our driver and guide Christine were a fabulous team sharing a wealth of information, both historically and from personal experience. Their knowledge of the olive industry was fascinating & even customized our private tour with a stop at an olive procession as it is peak season now. Every thing on the tour was top notch even included the baker prepared lunch box. For us this trip leaving from Chaina to Herakleion made the most of our limited time here. Thank you Christine! Highly recommend this tour!

The Best Small Group Tour to see Knossos and the museum - I read great reviews and decided to book a tour with Christine. We were group of 8 and the minibus was large and comfortable for the group. She was at the cruise port waiting for us so we can start our tour right away. On the way to the Knossos Palace, Christine explained us about Crete: history, culture, food and wine with nice videos. It was nice 2 hour drive - Thanasis is a great driver to safely take us around the island. The guide, Thalia, is an excellent guide who is very passionate and knowledgeable. She showed us the highlights in the Palace and the museum to maximize our experience in the limited time. On the way back, we stopped in a Venetian town, Chania, to see the beautiful sea side town and did some shopping. We would like to come back and ask her to take us to the Olive oil farm and have a dinner in Chania next time! They provided nice local pastry and refreshments. All of us enjoyed the tour!

An excellent adventure! - I had a wonderful experience working with Christine at Sea by Bus Explore Crete and highly recommend her tour company! Christine’s warmth and friendliness was readily evident in all of our correspondence. Her responses to my inquires were always prompt. I ultimately booked all of our tours and transfers though Sea by Bus. With Christine’s guidance, we created a truly memorable trip for my family. I strongly encourage you to reach out to Christine so you can create a wonderful, personalized experience for you as well! Private tour to Knossos Palace This was a wonderful experience. During the drive from Chania to Knossos Palace there were videos discussing Crete history, and well as a brief lesson in some basic Greek words. Christine shared what life was like in Crete. The guide selected by Christine for our tour was informative and enthusiastic. The visit to the site was followed by independent visit to the museum. The tour originally included a stop in nearby Heraklion. However, Christine gave us the opportunity to modify our itinerary from a visit to “a big city” (Heraklion) for something that was more personal for us. The day began with a stop at restaurant at a village for Greek coffee and some traditional snacks (yogurt with bergamot & a traditional flat pastry with cheese inside) while enjoying a view of a lake and countryside. During the ride back to our hotel we had a stop at a facility that processes olives from local growers. It was informative and concluded with an opportunity to taste olive oil from different types of olives and the different ways it can be processed. (Yes, you can taste the difference!)

Fantastic experience - My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. We learnt so much about Crete in general from Christine and Thanasis. The drive from Chania as well as the yummy lunch and drinks was perfect. Christine organised an amazing tour guide for us to learn about the Knossos Palace and Museum. She was super passionate and her passion was infectious. Would highly recommend this tour.

Historical Herkalion - Very interesting tour. Christine was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The AC was out in the museum, but besides that, great experience

So interesting with great driver and guides! - Really informative and passionate guide at Knossos. She was brilliant. Again another brilliantly organised and comfortable trip with our driver & Christine. They are genuinely lovely, helpful, funny & informative hosts. Constant water and soft drinks supplied. Really comfortable vehicle with Wi-Fi, screens for video info and air conditioning. Highly recommend trip, guide, driver and this company.

One of the best tours we have been on - and we have been on a lot. - Our experience with Cristina and her driver was genuinely exceptional. Their unparalleled friendliness and remarkable attention to detail ensured our every need was anticipated and met. We learned a lot throughout the tour - and enjoyed every moment. It was one of the most luxurious vans we have traveled in, it included charging ports, pillows, safe driving, and drinks, and the air conditioning was great (important for us Americans). I also greatly appreciate their recommendation of using a tour guide in Knossos. Talia was energetic, entertaining, and was so informed. We learned so much more from her than if we tried to go on it ourselves. She made it all come alive for us. The Archeology Museum was fascinating, and it was great to put it all together - and keep an eye out for the things Talia recommended/explained to us during the tour. We skipped Heraklion City and instead went to Rethymno, which should be part of the tour. It was a beautiful city we would have never visited, filled with excellent shops, restaurants, and historic sites. We (four of us) wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It stands among the finest we have experienced. Their assistance extended beyond the time itself, as they kindly provided us with invaluable recommendations for dining options the following day. We highly recommend availing yourself of their expertise and attentively heeding their suggestions. You get every penny worth! Cannot recommend more.

Can't Miss Adventure - Christine was FANTASTIC! This really was a can't miss trip. We couldn't make it to Heraklion due to time constraints with our cruise ship, nut Christine made her own itinerary for us and it was top notch. We visited the old Venetian Port, a monastery, and the oldest olive tree in the world. Beautiful and historic scenery, really a great day!

Best tour ever! - Our tour with Christina was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! This tour company is second to none. We learned so much about Crete. Christina is so knowledgeable. Our tour van was so comfortable and they provided us we yummy snacks and drinks. We were well taken care of. What a great tour…. a must do!!!!

Great excursion - We had a great time. Christina was a knowledgeable guide who was attentive to our needs and our driver was wonderful. Thank you!!!
