        Fantastic guide and your company
        Ours was a special tour based on time restraints as caused by ship; thus didn't do wine country. Alexander our guide was truly outstanding in his knowledge along with doing several historical stops as we appreciated the history of the area. In addition the tour company was willing to put together an excellent trip for us.

        Jeep Safari White Mountains
        The Jeep Safari adventure was an excellent experience. Our driver Michalis was thoughtful, informative, and very welcoming to our group. High marks for his presentation. We stopped at a taverna for coffee which was scenic and tasty. Advise travelers to confirm whether lunch is covered- there was a question which was handled to our satisfaction by Michalis.

        My favorite travel day
        My favorite tour of my trip to Greece! Nikos Klinis was my travel advisor for the day, and he filled our travels with history of Crete, mythology, and knew the good local spots to stop based on my interests. (Coffee? Local fruit? Byzantine churches? He knew where to go) The cave of Zeus was closed when I went, but luckily he was able to pivot easily to the Melidoni cave. Very personable and accommodating, he drove me around the entire day and we had a blast, I felt taken care of and saw and learned so much. I was traveling for artistic inspiration and feel like this tour especially offered a lot to be inspired by! Would recommend.

        Chania
        Antonios was perfect for our tour today. Due to a change in schedule we were unable to keep our original plan, however our trip to Chania, forts, small villages near the white mountains and seeing the cave in Gerontospilios was amazing. Antonio made sure we saw everything in Chania. We would have seen much more if we had more hours in the day

        Amazing Experience!
        Adonis truly understood our desire for an authentic experience of Crete. He took us beyond the typical tourist spots, guiding us through hidden gems that showcased the island’s rich culture and history. His extensive knowledge about local traditions, historical landmarks, and the natural beauty of Crete added depth to our journey. Each location he selected felt personal and significant, allowing us to connect with the essence of the island. One of the highlights of our tour was a visit to a farm-to-table restaurant that Adonis recommended. Tucked away off the beaten path, this restaurant offered a dining experience that was nothing short of outstanding. The food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared using traditional recipes passed down through generations. We savored dishes made from locally sourced ingredients while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. This culinary experience not only satisfied our appetites but also deepened our appreciation for Cretan cuisine. Overall, Adonis provided us with an amazing experience that exceeded all expectations. His ability to create a friendly atmosphere while delivering insightful information made our time in Crete truly special. We left feeling enriched by the connections we made and grateful for the memories created during this remarkable journey.

        Spinalonga, olive oil your, and the beach… who could ask for anything more!
        What a fun day with Nick and Paul! Spinalonga was fascinating. Lena, our tour guide, provided so much information about the site. We had a lovely seaside lunch at restaurant across from the beach and then spent an hour relaxing on the beach. The olive oil tour at Vissilakis estate was very interesting followed by a tasting. We enjoyed the products so much we shipped a box directly to our home. I highly recommend this tour with Nick and Paul.

        Supernatural Experience in Crete with Olga!
        We arranged a private tour with a personal guide and driver. Our guide, Olga Evangelia Solanou, was personable and informed; she knew exactly how to create an experience that was all things to everyone! Her knowledge and intuition about creating the ideal visitor experience for us included visits to beaches, villages, botanical gardens, and the best epicurean adventure ever! Our hope was to experience the authentic life of Crete and its sites, sounds and flavors and Olga saw to it we did! Both she and our driver Vasilis accommodated group mobility issues and our visit at each stop was flawless. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. The professionalism and personable interactions with Olga and Vasilis made our visitor experience unforgettable. We came to Greece as strangers and we left as friends.

        Loiana was brilliant. She made the tour exceptional . 7 stars out of 5. Her knowledge was beyond great. And as she recommended. You must do the museum First. It puts it in a more poignant experience. Ask for Loiana or Eleanor. Excellent transportation with a huge spread of fresh fruits! They made the entire experience unforgettable !

        Dropped off wrong location and rushed off before confirming
        Travelling with three adults and one infant (3 months old). Costas, our driver, arrived at a small, side street, grabbed our bags from the trunk, placed on the curb and drove off, without confirming our location, name of the place. He stated, "this is the address, thank you" and rushed away. It was not the right address, there were no people there. We needed dropoff at a hotel, not a private row of homes. We checked the name of the address in the booking, and was accurate as we submitted it. The coordinator at the hotel called us, and warned us about taxi drivers leaving people in the wrong locations. The hotel was atop a steep hill and harder to access. She stated we were not the first with this problem from private transfer bookings (which is why she specifically recommends a specific company to handle). We did not use that advice, unfortunately. I would NOT recommend this provider or driver, who had the lack of personal interest to leave us with a child on the side of a road. I'll be disputing this charge as they did not complete our transfer.

        Nikos was the best!
        My wife and I hired Snami to take us around the island. Nikos, our driver, went above and beyond in every aspect. He recommended areas to go to, took us to a beautiful overlook, prepared a picnic, and a fantastic dinner in a palazzo. We had a long day of driving around Crete and Nikos was able to share the island's rich history. Our day was truly enhanced by having Nikos and we will never forgot how special he made our day! Wishing him all the best and looking forward to seeing him and using Snami next time we visit Crete!

        Great Tour Day with Nikos
        We booked a day to hike, and visit a small town in Crete. Our driver, Nikos, was as good as it gets. He provided history about Crete and set up a tour at an olive oil farm when we changed our schedule. Nikos was a great driver and make the Crete experience much better for our family.

        Amazing!
        A truly Authentic Cretan Experience! We were lucky enough to have Ionna as our guide, she truly catered the tour to our vision. It was our favorite day in Crete. When our driver Nikos, took us outside for the panoramic view of Agios Nikolaos, and we enjoyed fresh fruit, on what seemed like the most private experience, my husband and I knew we were in for a treat. We loved the olive oil factory, and how Ionna really made sure we experienced the island the way we wanted to, even with a private boat around Spinalonga. We had an amazing lunch in Plaka, and were lucky enough to enjoy the company of both our driver and guide the entire day.

        Great experience and wonderful time with Andreas
        We had an absolutely wonderful time with Andreas. He was prompt and met us at our hotel in old town Chania. He was delightfully entertaining on the long trip to Heroklian and shared interesting insights and history of different places that we cross along the way. The car (Range Rover) was comfortable , clean and well stocked with cool water. Andreas also shared several interesting facts in Knossos Palace and showed us various aspects of the room. We never felt rushed and felt it was entirely worth the money. Highly recommended.

        Great tour to Southern Crete
        This tour was great. Our driver was Stefanos and our guide was Ireni. Both were excellent. Ireni was very knowledgeable and able to discuss the archeological and religious sites in detail. The sites were interesting. The wine tasting was excellent. Overall, a great day. We'd travel with them again and highly recommend the company.

      We had a great experience with the Knossos Palace and Zeus Cave tour. Alexander was our guide. He has a pleasant personality and is very knowledgeable regarding Crete history. During our visit of Knossos Palace we were guided by Maria who was also very pleasant and knowledgeable. The restaurant near Zeus cave suggested to us for lunch served tasty food combined with an amazing view.

      The communication with the agency was perfect and it was no issue to shift the date of the experience due to bad weather on the originally booked day (however, I expect this would be more difficult during the main season).

      The tour is certainly worth the money and especially in these times a private tour feels more comfortable compared to large group events. There was no discussion for Alexander and us to always wear our masks while in the car together which was much appreciated considering that not all drivers or waiters on Crete wear their masks all the time.

      In total this was a highly recommendable experience we would certainly book again during our next visit to Crete.

      My family and I booked a tour with Snami travel for a mythical tour of Crete. Our tour guide was Alex and we had Aristotle as our driver

      Our driver was very warm and friendly. He did not speak much English but there was always a smile on his face and he was always happy to help or invite us to have some of his raki. I spent 4 days in Crete and drank way too much raki. The interesting thing is the drivers home made raki was probably the best raki I’ve had. The smell is a lot stronger than it is. After each shot you feel a warmth but there is absolutely no hangover or headache!

      Alex is such an amazing story teller. He was very fun, engaging, and thoughtful throughout the whole trip. Our family composed of 9 individuals whom ages ranged from 22 months to 70 years old. He made sure that everyone was happy, engaged, and comfortable throughout the whole trip.

      We learned about about the North and west side of Crete on our first day. We enjoyed his guidance so much that I asked if I could book another tour with Alex and our driver. Alex did a custom tour for us for the southern part of Crete.

      After spending two full days with Alex and Aristotle, I learned so much about the culture of Crete that I would not be able to find elsewhere. Crete is a beautiful island that can itself be its own country. Its history and culture is so unique and rich. The strategic location of Crete made it a blessing and a curse for how much triumph and conquers there has been. You can appreciate its history through the taste of their food. They have traditionally Greek food (meats/seafood with lots of oregano and thyme) yet with Turkish influences (cloves). The uniqueness of their cheese (made with goat). The romantic and beautiful scenary. The crazy myths that can be told of every rock formation. The charm of having a church in the middle of a gorge on a mountain. A island where you have the Mediterranean and the African weather. You will only find this in Crete.

      Alex showed me all of this. You won’t regret booking with Snami and having them shown you true Cretan hospitality and beauty that you and I would not be able to find on our own.

      Thank you for the wonderful trip

      This was a fantastic tour! There’s no way we would have seen as much in one day, if we had not taken this tour!

      Highlights include; Cave of Zeus, Knossos Palace, Pottery workshop and craft shop, Lunch in traditional Greek restaurant, 2000 year old Sycamore tree & visit to a Cretan church.

      Our tour guide and driver Alexander was so informative & knowledgable. He had a brilliant sense of humour and had us in stitches for the journey! The car journey was so pleasant and he made our day so enjoyable.

      Our private guide of Knossos, Maria was an expert in Greek history & mythology. My daughters were fascinated by her tales of Greek mythology eg Icarus & Daedalus, The Minotaur, Zeus.

      “Mythical Escape” is money well spent & I cannot recommend it highly enough! Thank you!

      Our guide/driver Dimitrios Roukounakis was absolutely wonderful. From the time he picked us up to the moment he dropped us off he treated us like family. He was knowledgeable and even when our ship changed its all aboard time last minute, he ensured he got to the destination and back with just enough time to try the local foods in the port area. The vehicle was brand new, and extremely comfortable and spacious. Leather seats, lots of leg room! He stopped for coffee and restrooms anytime we asked. Knossos palace was beautiful and mind blowing. Well worth the money and drive. Thanks Dimitrios for making this a memorable experience!

      This was easily the best day of our Greek vacation. Ioanna is a masterful teacher and story teller. She didn’t just give us a tour of the most important archeological sites in Crete but imparted PhD level knowledge of Greek mythology, the history of Crete and the foundations of ancient civilization. All this while managing to engage and delight our teens and preteen on a very long road trip. The kids even got their hands dirty modeling clay in a traditional potters shop. Our driver, Anastasia, was also incredibly kind, flexible and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

      This was one of our best options during the stay on the island. On this trip we explored and experienced the best highlights of the island. Also we were happy to be able to add a lot of customization during the trip with Dimitris. We recommend this for those who seek private and quality tours!

      It was unforgettable experience. Tour operator messaged us the day before and provided with name and phone number of the tour guide. They picked us from the hotel on time. Tour guide Popi was very knowledgeable in history of Crete and Greece. She explained things on the way and during sightseens. The tour was talored to our needs and abilities. The driver was very experienced and nice. We were treated with the plate of local fruits and desserts during the stop. The sights were amazing. I would strongly recommend this tour.

      High end tour with a wonderful guide (Christina) and driver (Manos). They were kind and very knowledgeable about their beautiful island, history and culture. Great photo ops. The vehicle was immaculate, luxurious and comfortable. Would definitely use them again.

      Our tour with Kostas Stagakis to the VIP Cave of Zeus and Knossos Palace was so wonderful and the best!
      The tour to the to the cave was not as hard as I thought it would be (good thing) , it was very adventurous . There are 2 ways to get to the cave (easy paved and more difficult uneven terrain) we took the more difficult. Make sure you wear good shoes. After the hike to the cave it was wonderful to reach the cave ,it was very cool rewarding ( many steps (but doable))
      The tour to Knossos Palace was very informative and the "palace guide " was very educated and "painted " a picture of what he thought it was like back in the day. the
      tour is not hard to walk around and pleasant and enjoyable . It was hot but what do you expect for summer in Greece.
      The most impressive part of the tour was the driver /tour operator (Kostas Stagakis) he made sure we were well informed before arriving to our destinations .He was very knowledgeable of Crete and Greece (food, culture, mythology etc). Kostas knew all the good food stops and made sure we were well taken care of. He was on time, told us exactly what to expect. He is not your average guide, He is EXCELLENT
      I recommend this tour for history and mythology and if you can get Kostas as your guide it will the most memorable part of your visit to Crete.
      I have been on many tours ( france, italy,finland,galpagos, switzerland, peru) Kostats is the BEST!
