Great service and uncomplicated - A GREAT service!!! Everything went perfectly from the airport to the hotel and back again. Picked up on arrival with name tag and even when carrying suitcases the driver did not let himself be helped.
Will book again every time you visit Crete. Only recommended!!

Great city tour and Visit to Knossos - Our tour guide George was so personable and accommodating. Since he was a native , he was able to relate interesting facts about the city . We thought that we would have a guided tour of Knossos but we were on our own which turned out to be fine. We had a very comfortable van and to end our tour ,George took us to a taverna that he knew and we had a nice dinner together. I would recommend this tour!

Another great visit to Crete thanks to CreteCab! - We absolutely love CreteCab and used them again for our second visit to Crete. We lucked out and had our same driver who we love! Communication is great, they offered a flexible itinerary and helped us plan our day.
We are truly thankful for this company, they are easy to work with and reasonably priced.
They also hire amazing people! Thank you CreteCab team!!

Wrong port - Any company doing excursions on an Island should know what port each major cruise company ports at . We have travel to over 45 countries. We use Viator a lot . This was the first time we got off our ship to find no driver . The driver was 2 hours away at a different port . My fault most good companies know the ship port and even times. The Cretecab company that does this tour obviously does not do their homework. They have offered a 50% refund around $169 .
I jumped into action so that my Wife and I would have a great day in the port . I hired a Pvt driver $ 120 cheaper and he had to drive 2 hours more for a great tour that he gave .
Cretecab company says I threatened them by saying I would write a review. You be the judge , it’s your choice to use this company or not . For my wife and I we would never use them again.
PS Crete is beautiful!
