Published on May, 2023

We had an amazing trip with Tina and Stefanos. They treat you like family and let us customize the end of the trip a little so we could spend more time at a place we were very eager to see. The van is clean and Stefanos is a great driver and such a sweetheart. Tina is now practically family to us and we love her and couldn’t recommend this trip enough! Highly suggest this company to anyone visiting Crete.

Good option from Kania crete

A true private tour gem of Crete island!!

Published on Oct, 2019

We were staying in Chania and wanted to explore the highlights near to our region. "Authentic West Crete Off-the-Beaten-Track & Venetian Rethymno Private Tour" was just a memorable experience for the whole family! Our private guide showed us amazing old villages, canyons, monasteries with interesting stories, and we met with friendly locals! Not to mention the Cretan lunch in a breathtaking place with lamp on fire and salt!!!! One of the most amazing tours we ever had. Thank you Crete! Thank you Snami team! We highly recommend!!!

One day to cover most interesting sites in West Crete

Published on Sep, 2019

The trip was as expected: professional & excellent in sites, views, food & info. The driver, Alexander, told us the history of all the places we came through, with nice details on specific places. We enjoyed all the sites we visited, springs, small taverns, monasteries, view-points, restaurant & food, accompanied with an excellent conversation he adapted to our interests. Highly recommended!

Rethymno is a charming Venetian city with an indescribable atmosphere!

Published on Jul, 2019

Thanks a lot to Snami Travel for such an unforgettable trip and especially thanks to your guide who makes you fall in love with this stunning city of beauty!
