Lovely Tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Excellent guide shared interesting information of the history and culture of Crete. Loved the visit to beautiful Elafonisi pink sanded aquamarine coloured beach, the en route offered lovely views of the Aegen ocean, majestic mountains, vineyards, olive and fruit groves, as well as the traditional villages churches and local arts & crafts. The visit to Chania was an absolute treat what a delightful and charming town loved the arts, crafts colourful archicture and quaint restaurants decorated with bright bougainvillas. Victoria went out of her way to make this a most memorable tour day. Thank you

Long, but enjoyable day!

Published on May, 2024

Viktoria was our guide for the day and she was very kind and informative. She gave us a good background of each place we visited and provided us with sufficient time in each place. I’d recommend this tour to anyone with minimal time looking to see the island.

Beautiful Elafonissi

Published on Jul, 2023

Our guide Viktoria was so lovely. It felt like she was a friend from the beginning. The trip was a long trip but so worth it when we saw Elafonissi lagoon. It was absolutely beautiful with it's crystal clear waters and pink tinged sand. It was very hot but there was a breeze which made it seem cooler. There is a bit of a walk down to the lagoon which may be difficult for the less mobile. on the way back we visited Chania which was a beautiful with lovely buildings. Viktoria took us on a short walking tour and then we had free time to explore. We also stopped at Rethymon and where lucky enough to see the sun setting which was amazing. Altogether a long but most enjoyable day. Special thanks to Viktoria.

Beautiful Crete

Published on Sep, 2022

The excursion was amazing.!!!The trip was long, but worth every second. Elefonasi is beyond gorgeous! Our guide,Vladimiras, was a wealth of information on Greek history, and mythology. He really went out of his way to have us see Crete, and Greece through his eyes. I felt like I was traveling with a friend.

Amazing day!

Published on Sep, 2022

Our guide and driver, Vlad, was friendly, knowledgable and made the day an experience we will never forget. Elafonissi lagoon is beautiful and we were given as much free time there as we wanted. Stops along the way we’re great. Such scenic beauty. Chania old town was a great end to the day, after a guided tour with Vlad we had some free time to wander. I would highly recommend this trip, and hope that you get Vlad as your guide
