We arranged 2 trips with this company. Firstly we spoke to a women who was lovely and friendly however then we got one with drowned eyebrows and brunette hair. She charged us more than what the other women said it would be. The Chania trip was lovely although basic and no guide for when we actually got to Chania or Rethymon. By the time we had eaten we had no time left to actually walk around properly so felt rushed. It also states 1-2 hours travel time but with traffic this is 4 hours there and 3 hours back. The Springalonga trip was a disaster from the get go. We arrived in Agios Nikolas to board the boat which was old fashioned and run down. The ramp leading up to it was rocky and felt like your belongings would go flying off. I have never felt sea sick until this trip which made my stomach turn from the get go. I had to spend most of it inside with my eyes closed. In addition all the water was pouring into the boat. We stopped off at a bay which was nothing but rocks and was sold to us as a bbq on the beach but it was lunch on the boat. This entailed some dry chicken, coleslaw and a block of Greek cheese with a pear on the side. Drink offered was warm orange juice or wine. They also told us to get up to let other people sit so they over populated the boat. As we docked at Springalonga we were told we could either buy tickets to see the archaeology (of which discriminates British people and makes them pay extra) or wait at the side. The booklet advertises ‘free guide’ but entry to the archaeology at a charge but doesn’t specify the guide will tell you no history unless you go in. So we spent an hour and 20 minutes sitting on a wall. We were told by a couple at our hotel the island and around it was lovely so if we had docked on the other side this would have been possible but this was a scam. Agios Nikolas as a town was beautiful with quaint shops for purchasing souvenirs and higher end clothing. We returned to the travel agency the following morning to discuss our issues and the women originally said it’s because of the weather we can’t do much about it. However, there were smaller boats smooth sailing across, it just so happened to be our boat that felt like we were going to go overboard. She then said I will see if I can contact my manager but I can’t promise anything. He came up with similar excuses and then said they have been doing lunches on the boat for 2 months now I said so why are you false advertising? Because there are two clear options in your booklet, one stating lunch on the boat, one specifying a bbq. He said ‘what do you want me to do?’ when I mentioned it was discriminating making brits pay more, he said please don’t speak like that in our office and then finally offered us a refund. However, this could only be paid in cash and we were leaving that evening. I wouldn’t waste your time booking with this company if I am honest! Save your money, the prices fluctuate.

My partner and I, both Italians, had an amazing time during this excursion in Crete. From the very beginning, Renia, the consultant from the agency, was incredibly kind and helpful. She made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire experience. Her local knowledge and suggestions really added a personal touch. The excursion itself was a perfect way to discover the real Crete. We were immersed in the island's rich history and breathtaking landscapes, far from the usual tourist spots. It felt like a genuine journey through time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and cultural depth of this incredible island. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to dive into Crete's history and charm. Thank you, Renia, and the entire team for making this a trip to remember!

I went on the trip with my girlfriend, we had a blast learning about how things work in the inner part of Greece and the ancient palace of Knossos, with a pitstop at the olive festival where we ate very good food, truly a wonderful experience, it's very recommended. See you next time and thanks to Renia from an Italian couple

I wouldn't have been able to visit Elafonissi Beach from Heraklion without this tour. It brought me to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The tour guide was incredibly supportive and attentive, providing information in 4 different languages all by herself! The bus driver was very professional and kind as well. I would highly recommend this tour 110%!!

Helpful and knowledgeable tour company and good choice of trips. We booked 2 trips including this one. Unfortunately they did not explain we would be picked up and then taken to a petrol station to then get on the actual tour bus. We sat there for 20 mins with no knowledge of what was happening. We all were a bit confused. It wasn't a big problem but a heads up would be useful! We arrived in Agios Nicolaus late and had about an hour then on to the boat. No real notice of who was on or off so not sure how they kept track of us. Then lunch which was poor. Nice chicken leg, a dollop of shredded cabbage with a bit of feta and a slice of bread. No butter, dressings or seasoning. Served like school dinners. Ate the chicken but rest was inedible. This seems to be the norm for these trip lunches but if you do the Safari trip to Zeus Cave the lunch was excellent! Queued to get on the boat. Drinks and snacks available but cash only. We were not told this and only had a card so no drinks for us! Only 20 mins to swim then to Spinalonga. Took ages to get off the boat and then queued again for tickets (not included). Then a guide gave some history by which time we had about 20 minutes before we had to get back on the boat. Nowhere near enough time to explore this historical site. The trip was ok. Lovely scenery and a good day but felt we did nothing but queue and wait around all day in the heat. Would not do this again

Absolutely fantastic day out. Prevelia beach is just like being in the Caribbean. Great for snorkeling too. Would definitely visit again.

We had a very good Guide in Sumon. Very knowledgeable person. Be ready and fit to climb the hill with proper shoes. Also the steps down and up to Zeus cave is very steep. Olive mill and Knossos palace is not to be missed.

Basically we paid for the bus and the tour guide only! We had to buy the tickets ourselves! Last time I did this tour, many years ago now, it was all included. The tour guide only had an hour to take everyone around and from experience it takes a bit longer than that. It would have been cheaper to catch the regular bus and spend time walking round the site!

Read the book about The island and was lucky to visit,,wonderful day trip with a swim and barbecue,,very knowledgeable and informative guide ,, amazing views,,a must when visiting this part of Crete.

The trip we did was just to Knossos and then Heraklion. The tour guide we had was Soula. She was amazing and obviously so passionate about sharing her knowledge. Best tour guide that we have had with our trips booked through you.

I'm really sorry to say but honestly not worth the money. The first two stops are nothing to write home about; there are far more impressive caves in many other parts of the world and the olive shop takes 5min to explain how soap is made and olive oil - no history or how it used to be made in the past. Really disappointing. Rather spend the day at the beach - that won't disappoint.

Excellent all-around. Yanni our tour Director was amazing. What a great bank for your back, can’t ask for anything better!

I went with my mother on Sunday (23 and 47) and we had the best time, this is my second time doing this trip and unfortunately I just didn't catch our tour guides name but she's been my guide for both occasions and she's just the best! She is the queen of languages and the information she provides is really interesting! The trip itself was really well organised with pick up from the hotel along with enough time to stop at both the gortys and matala beach. It was really a fun day out with stunning views even on the bus and both the archeological site and the beach provide a good balance of learning and just relaxation!! As I said this was my second time going so you definitely have my praise thank you guys ❤️

Pick up from hotels was well organised and the trip to the palace was good- our guide was really knowledgeable. You get ear pieces to wear so you can move to shadier areas or away from the group a bit and still hear what she was saying. The town tour was brief but interesting and we enjoyed having time to sit down for a cold drink and then wander the market and shopping areas.

Pick up available close/at hotel, tour guide was well informed of historic places as travelling through to Agios. The boat however was VERY overcrowded by different pick ups. At Spinalonga we was with a guide to inform us about the history of the fortress, however once this tour finished we wasn’t left with much time to fully explore the area, it would of been nice to have enough time to go to the top of the viewpoint. Kolokytha bay was lovely but small, you’re able to jump off the boat and had approximately an hour to view the area and swim. The boat docks at quite a rocky area so suitable footwear is advised and definitely watch out for sea urchins. There is a beach further along however. The lunch offered wasn’t much to be desired but was okay for the price considering. There is a vegetarian option (wrap) and the food for non veggies was a chicken leg with 2 pieces of bread and cabbage with a piece of fruit. Snacks/drinks were available on the boat (additional cost). Agios Nikolaos was a lovely area with plenty to explore - unfortunately it did rain which was a big shock for locals! Overall for the cost it’s okay, and was a good excursion experience. To improve I’d say it would be good to allow more time to really explore the places included in the cruise as it felt rushed and lot of the time.
