Great Tour and Driver

Published on Jun, 2022

We had a great day out with our professional and courteous driver Giannis (John). He picked us up from the cruise port on time, spoke very good English and took us to Agios Nikolaos, Spinalonga, Elounda and Heraklion. He was very patient and extremely flexible in the itinerary as we were supposed to go to Knossos but it was just too busy when we got there. He returned us to the ship on time. All 4 of enjoyed the trip and would recommend to everyone.
