About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- CindyH9390 contributionsA wonderful private tour around the Heraklion City area!What a great day! George was an amazing tour guide. It felt like we were his family visiting from out of town. He made sure we saw all the important historical sites and got us mountain tea, olives and a popular Greek dessert called bougatsa . We were asking about olive oil production on the island so he made arrangements to take us to a family farm. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant near the waterfront that George recommended. It was the best meal of our trip. I don't write a lot of reviews but felt compelled to share this experience because it made our stop on Crete so special.Written 14 November 2024
- ligavril020 contributionsAmazing Taxi companyThis is the best Taxi in Crete. They greet you with water. They make sure you are feeling comfortable. They charge you reasonable. They are safe and efficient. Also the driver was on time picking us up from the Airpot and from our hotel going back. Well done. I will surely use them again in Crete.Written 4 November 2024
- Q2083RWpaulg0 contributionsEfficient and reliable taxi transfer serviceWe used CreteCab for the second year running for return transfer from Heraklion to Georgioupolis. Everything about this company from online booking to the regular provision of information from the excellent Emmanuela inspired confidence. The drivers were polite, helpful and punctual. I recommend this service.Written 1 November 2024
- ryp150 contributionsExcellent ServiceUsed for Airport transfer from Heraklion to Agios Nicolaos and return. Very comfortable taxis and very helpful drivers. Really good at keeping in touch with details of pick ups and advice. Especially Emmanuela. Very professional in every aspect of their service.Written 29 October 2024
- C23410 contributionsPerfect serviceImpressive friendly welcome, efficient service and driver obeyed all traffic road rules, making us feel safe.Written 24 October 2024
- vada0 contributionsExemplary service - very satisfied customersAfter reading the *5 reviews on TA we phoned Crete cabs after half completing request form on website - the site didn’t seem to cater for our Heraklion to Chania transfer. Received very helpful advice and confirmation of time/date of transfer at 10am The preceding day received phone call from Cretecabs to advise that there would be unusual traffic delays at agreed time, and suggested that we bring pickup time forward to 9am - which was fine with us. Following morning cab arrived punctually at agreed time. Very pleasant driver introduced himself and loaded our luggage. Driver spoke excellent English The Mercedes cab was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The driver (whose name escapes me at this time) was very polite and demonstrated superior driving skills - we are generally very nervous passengers- but we very soon felt comfortable and at ease. Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour journey and would not hesitate to recommend CretecabsWritten 23 October 2024
- moojoose0 contributionsPerfect airport transfersWe booked airport transfers and everything was perfect. Drivers were on time and friendly and helpful. Nice, clean, comfortable cars. We felt safe and welcomed by genuinely lovely staff. 10/10, will definitely use again! Thank you!Written 22 October 2024

Car was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Reallynice greating into the country, thoroughly recommend - from a seasoned travellerWritten 20 October 2024

- Weiblich_aus_Basel0 contributionsThird time with Crete CabI reserved a transfer from Heraklion Airport to the Hotel and back for the third time in total. It was the second time this year (once in June, now again in October). Everything was fine so far apart from a little detail: On both confirmations was written that we will be picket up by the driver in the hall, he would hold a sign with my name. Both times the drivers were not in the hall waiting for us, but we walked all around the hall to find him, which we could not, and in the end we had to ask where the office desk of Crete Cab is -> Outside on the other side of the street. There was the driver waiting for us. It's not a big problem, but I'd appreciate to have correct information where the driver is waiting. This would spare us from looking and walking around with all the luggage looking where the driver is. And one other little thing: After we found the driver at the desk outside the hall, he did not have prepared the car yet by taking out the children seats, but had to to this when we finally came to the car. While waiting for us (we hat a long waiting time for our luggage) he could have done this alreaddy.Written 17 October 2024
- alexgJ488ZC0 contributionsRecommendation for CreteCab transfersI ordered a transfer from the hotel to the airport, and the ride was perfect.
