Best experience in Crete - This has to be the most memorable and beautiful part of our trip to Greece. Angela was such a great tour guide with local knowledge and a great personality that made for such an enjoyable tour. She took us to the key beautiful places to see in Crete all in one tour. I highly recommend this tour if you want a once in a lifetime experience.

The BEST day trip from Chania - Spili, the gorge, and the beach were all fantastic. The tour exceeded our expectations and Aggeliki was what every tour guide should be! She is very personable, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. She even laughed at our jokes! Her vehicle was immaculate and very comfortable. I would book other tours with Aggeliki without hesitation. Should I return to Crete we will definitely use her services again!

A most wonderful day in Crete! - A most wonderful day!! The itinerary organized by Angie makes for a well balanced, unique and very memorable day. The waterfall adventure and Kalypso beach are truly once in a life time experiences and the charming village stops make the perfect accessories. These locations are not that easy to reach on your own as a tourist so having a driver is very helpful. Angie is also a gem of a person- very thoughtful and great fun to talk to! She provided lots of great insights and recommendations. If you’re debating whether or not to take this tour, save yourself the trouble and just do it!

Crete South Coast Adventure - This was a great all day tour made excellent by our host, Maria. When we first booked the tour we booked mostly for the water portions of the adventure since we thought visiting a folk museum, yawn, would be uneventful, however the curator at the folk museum was outstanding. Maria, our guide was so warm and inviting she felt like family by the end of the day. We highly recommend this tour with Maria.

Excellent day! Interesting, Informative and Fun. - Had an incredible day with Angie. She was so pleasant and both great company and very informative of the Island of Crete. She was flexible with the days schedule and all the stops we made were incredible. The Gorge she took us too especially was breathtaking. One of the highlights of the trip for sure. Would definitely recommend the tour to someone looking to explore a bit of the southern parts of Crete with a local guide.

Best Trip Ever!!! - We had the absolute best time on this excursion. We seriously couldn't have asked for a better day. Angi knew that we were shorter on time because we were on a cruise and she made it work. Not only is she the absolute best, but she took us to the best places! She was so knowledgeable about everything and she was so fun to talk to and have along with us on our trip! The gorge and Kalypso are sooo beautiful, it was the best part of our entire trip. We also loved the olive oil and honey tasting, it was so delicious! It was so cool to see the things that aren't as touristy, it felt like such a real and authentic experience. I seriously could not recommend this trip more, we are already itching to come back! (and we made the best new friend!)

Amazing Day in Crete - This is an amazing tour. While the scheduled stops are great, the private nature of the tour allows you flexibility to modify the stops as desired. We spent more time in the gorge and then had a beautiful lunch at a local restaurant. However, both the village and beach were beautiful and great to see. Angie (Owner and Guide) and Maria (Our Guide) were extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our desired interests. I would highly recommend this tour. Side note, at the gorge the water is cold, but you have to push through to see the the amazing sites at the base of the waterfall. It requires a 25m swim through the gorge. Pack a water proof bag for your phone/camera.

Fun filled and interesting tour - We truly had the best day on this tour and with Angie. We stopped at such beautiful and interesting places that we otherwise would not have known about, or visited on our own. Kalypso beach is beautiful, the folk museum was very interesting, and the gorge is a once in a lifetime experience. We also stopped at a beautiful tavern for lunch, where the food was so fresh and traditional. There is the perfect amount of time at each spot to properly explore. The drive was also very comfortable and enjoyable. Angie was so flexible and accommodating throughout the whole day. She was so informative and shared so much local knowledge and interesting facts about Crete throughout the trip. We were a group of 4 girls and with Angie it felt like we were all on a big girls trip. We had the best time together and I wish we had more time in Crete so we could book another tour with Angie and do it all again. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we will definitely be booking with Angie on our next visit to Crete.

Fun, memorable day - We had a great day with Angie. She was friendly, informative and fun to be with. The stops on the trip were varied and gave us a sense of what Crete has to offer. The olive oil and honey tasting is not truly an experience - it’s a taste in a shop. So if you’re looking for an immersive experience, you would possibly be disappointed. Our stop in the Spili Folklore Museum was beyond hysterical with Manolis sharing the random artifacts. He had us laughing non stop. The gorge was awesome. The highlight was Kalypso Beach and swimming in the amazing water and then delicious gyros for lunch before heading back. Thank you Angie!!
