Super agency - We met Nancy who explains the excursions well and is very pleasant. We booked 3 excursions: Lake Kournas, Chania and Elafonisi. Just great with Gourgos driving very well and our guide Giannis speaking English and French. Really not disappointed and at a much cheaper rate than at the hotel. We sent them out. Good continuation and thank you for your kindness...

Super Experience! - An absolutely unreal experience. The driver and tour guide were exceptional speaking English and also French. We started at a place called Argiropoulis for a small tour of their green area filled with trout/water/waterfalls and tavernas, then on to the local village where the grow avocados (shop there as well). The views are unreal. Lake Kournas for another 2.5 hours where you can rent a pedallo boat and go for a swim, see turtles etc then have some food/shop locally before they take you to an olive oil making factory. The entire trip started from our hotel at 0930 and we were back for 1730-1800. It was only £25 each return and it was the best money I have spent in a long, long time. Do not hesitate to book this tour - it is simply brilliant. Great knowledge from the guys, super friendly and very informative. We will definitely use again when we come back to Crete!

Nice and varied trip - On 22.09. we went on a guided tour. In the early morning of God, we got up because Kostas and Yannis collected us at 9:35. The first stop was a small mountain village called Agiroupolis, which is actually called Lappa. Many different fruit trees and shrubs grow there: Oranges, limes, grapes and especially avocados. The next stop was Lake Kournas, a mountain lake. After a refreshment we went for a pedal boat ride on the lake. Of course we daringly threw ourselves into the floods, although there are supposed to be sea snakes there!!! Last stop was the family-run oil mill / olive oil factory of the Kanakis. We went on a guided tour and a tasting and stocked up on olive oil. Before returning, Kostas serenaded his Lyra. A nice and varied tour with the two, you can highly recommend. They are very warm and humorous.

Great day out, lots of time to explore - We had a great time, the guide was friendly and gave lots of information as did the driver. The waterfalls of Argiroupoli were a little underwhelming, but we didn’t know to venture down from where the bus parked - and from pictures they look better there. The lake was amazing, highly recommend a pedalo over to the right of the lake to try and see the turtles - we were luck and saw one. The olive oil factory was an ideal end to the day, short but informative. Definitely recommend

A nice combo to explore Crete! - Cool guides, very varied program and breathtaking nature. You can make the trip as adventurous or active as you like. After some explanation about the stop you can choose whether you prefer to do a terrace or discover the place a bit further. At the Kournas lake you can subb and padelle. Highly recommended!

A turquoise and warm lake - Great site The water is beautiful and warm On the other hand for turtles we must forget because all the pedaloes gather in herd and nothing to see... Free sunbed in the shade Pedal boat 15€

Total failure - Who wrote the other reviews? I just can't understand. Due to the good reviews we booked this trip, but it feels more like a coffee drive for restaurants. We would have stopped the trip even if we had got a taxi.
