Excellent personnalised tours - This was a lovely experience. We were only three couples in the mini van with a very friendly and knowledgeable driver. Because it is a small group the trip can be tailor made according to the interests of the clients. As the weather was not so good for the beach, part of our group went sightseeing in Aghios Nikolaos while my husband and I were taken to the archeological site of Gournia (which I had wanted to visit). We were even provided with a packed lunch (sandwiches, fruit and juice) and bottled water. We only regretted not being able to take a second trip during the week as this was such an amazing day with many discoveries. Highly recommended.
