Friends Holiday - First time using Creta Maze with a pick up from the airport. Was a lovely friendly driver who helped with our luggage and a safe comfortable journey to our destination. Would definitely recommend this company who also do amazing trips at reasonable prices. Service with a smile 😃 we will definitely be using them again on our next trip to Crete.

Absolutely amazing!! - We were picked up by the amazing Vangelis with Creta Maze who showed us the friendliest welcome and gave us an extremely comfortable journey to the first stop, the olive oil farm. We were showed around the olive trees by a very informative guide and then had our very own tasting experience- very delicious food accompanied with their fantastic local olive oil. We then went on a trip to a local winery and again had a very detailed tour around the grape vines on site, the wine cellar and then a 1-1 wine tasting experience- this was our first time doing wine tasting but that did not matter as the amazing guide showed us exactly what to do! Next up was the raki distillery, plenty of tasting experience and the amazing Vangelis showed us around and taught us the whole process of how they make Raki (we even had the opportunity to buy a few bottles!) Last on the tour was a dinner at a local Greek restaurant where the food was absolutely outstanding. The whole trip was a perfect day out and everyone involved was extremely friendly. My partner suffers with a bad back and getting in and out of a car can be a struggle, but Vangelis went above and beyond to help her, which made the trip extra special. Creta Maze really gave us an amazing, comfortable day with memories we will hold onto for a lifetime!
