What travellers are saying
- Jen RFairless Hills, Pennsylvania123 contributionsWe had a great time. The Captain and her mate Spiros were so great to talk to. Spiros was very knowledgeable when it came to any questions about Crete. We enjoyed our sail out there, the water was a beautiful sapphire color and was warm! We stopped in the cove and were able to paddleboard around. We wanted to get to the little beach but we quickly found out that there are sea urchins along the rocks that line the beach. We were able to snorkel and swim all around the boat. Then we enjoyed the food that was served. Shrimp pasta, fruits & veg. We enjoyed it and can't wait to come back to Crete and do it again.Written 2 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jamie B1 contributionThis was such a fun day! We were picked up by Yannis and he was so funny and informative. We enjoyed the olive oil and wine and the lunch was unreal! The food kept coming! Yannis brought wine from the winery to serve with lunch as well. Highly recommend!Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erica C2 contributionsAkriza (not sure of spelling) led a wonderful tour. Great pacing. Excellent background. Shared highlights of ongoing research into archeology and the language and symbols found at Knossos. Shared wonderful pictures of her own to more fully bring the building to life.Written 25 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hannah A1 contributionWhat an incredible day discovering the authentic side of Crete, far from the usual tourist spots! We had a private tour in a very comfortable SUV, visiting charming villages, stunning mountain landscapes, and an excellent olive oil factory. The lunch was fantastic, showcasing delicious local flavors. Leonidas was an outstanding guide—his energy, knowledge, and passion for Crete made the experience truly special. This was easily one of the best day trips we’ve ever taken, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Many thanks to Leonidas!Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- George G2 contributionsWe are from Cyprus living in Athens last 8 years and we visited Crete for second time and for second time we booked this tour with Tours in Heraklion, tour agency. Spyros, the driver guide, made the experience exceptional. He is very knowledgeable entertaining and passionate, answered all the questions and believe me, there were many questions we asked all day long. We could'nt believe that we could see and explore so much about the region and Crete, in just a few hours. Driving is so nice with many stops, showing us the flora and fauna, telling us stories about every village we were passing through and taking many pictures. We stopped in an olive oil mill, tasted many kinds of locals olive oils, learned about the old windmills, there are two different types of windmills, for irrigation and for making a flour, visited a monastery, stopped in a grocery store for Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts, stopped in a pottery to see the craftsman in action, amazing experience there, we had a Greek coffee and some homemade cookies in a café running by 80 years old lady, had a local food in family tavern, picked some fresh strawberries and had a glass of Cretan white wine and our last stop was at Knossos Palace. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, even if you are just for a day in Crete.
5 stars are not enough for this tour.

- hansimpkoLiverpool, UK159 contributionsLoved this trip, the crew were excellent, there was plenty of space on the boat, and the food was excellent!
Drinks were readily available and the bay we stopped in was lovely and calm (despite it being quite a windy day), the SUPs, swimming and snorkelling was great and the bay was not at all crowded.

- tomtom77WidnesWidnes, UK35 contributionsDO NOT USE CRETE HOP ON HOP OFF BUS, there are 3 companys so stay away from the Crete hop on bus , 1 route 40 mins shortage of buses had to walk back from the last stop as bus nowhere to be seen, advertised as 2 routes paid €20 each which was a total waste of time, when i complained the 2 horrible women in the kiosk just shrugged and said only red line was running and had the cheek to say we didnt have far to walk what a rude pair of women , whatever you do STAY AWAY from the CRETE companyWritten 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kaya P1 contributionI had a fantastic tour! Marinos was an excellent guide, and he knew the history of everything and everyone along the way. The mountain villages and scenery were straight out of a fairytale. Knossos was incredible as well! 10/10 would recommend!Written 17 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa TMontreal28 contributionsWe had a great day, Spinalonga was really the highlight and the views were stunning. Loved that we stopped for a little swim afterwards!
The only con is that our expectation was that the excursion would take 8-9 hours based on the booking, but there were so many pickups & drop offs along the way that the bus ride ended up adding another hour to the trip, so it was over 10 hours when all was said & doneWritten 14 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bay that you stop off in is a real highlight.Written 5 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
