“Nikos arrived promptly to pick us up and explained the itinerary for the day.

“The most amazing part was our driver George who did a fantastic job driving us through some narrow, windy dirt roads up in The White Mountains and also navigated through some serious fog. We truly enjoyed the lunch at the restaurant at the entrance to the Samaria Gorge and the stunning views. The tour was terrific and we highly recommend it.”
Review of a private Chania tour to Lake Kournas, a Cretan olive mill, and Dourakis Winery, with practical pricing, timing, and booking advice.
“I can’t say enough about how great this excursion was! Angie was the ultimate host! She thought of everything and was so informative to us as she drove. Her van was total comfort and she made us feel very relaxed. She’s a local of Crete with excellent English. The lake, the winery and olive oil experiences all exceeded expectations! Would recommend her again and again. Frankly, we were sad for the day to end we so enjoyed our time together! We bonded in an unexpected way and I’ll never forget Angie and how she made our Cretan visit memorable. Until next time!”

Review of a private Elafonisi Beach day from Chania with olive oil, honey, cave, village lunch, and wine tastings.
“Great tour - just our group with a private driver! We really enjoyed the cave, and the wine, olive oil and honey tasting - and lovely scenery along the drive. The driver provided plenty of bottled water throughout the day. The beach was beautiful but we did not see any pink sand - not sure why - and the beaches near Chania are really just as nice. We booked a 10AM tour, but an eralier timeslot probably would allow for more beach time.”

Explore Cretan pottery, honey, olive oil, and Arkadi Monastery on a private day tour from Heraklion or Rethymno.
“The pottery demo and visit was really good. The very highlight of the day. The honey and olive oil experiences were...lacking. The olive oil tour was led by the daughter of the owner and was done as quickly as possible and without much enthusiasm for giving a tour. We felt as though we had interrupted her day. The honey tour was brief but very well done. Great tasting after the tour and really kinda cool. Our guide for the day was not very talkative. Not much information was offered and what was was because we asked. He was kind but just not much of a tour guide. I can't recommend…”

“Unforgettable. Nikos and Alex were such delightful hosts, not just for cooking, but also for conversation, and a history lesson too.
