“Brought Crete to life for us. The guide had a deep knowledge of his homeland’s history and culture, as well as a deep love for it. He said he wanted to make it feel like we were members of his family, and he succeeded. Everywhere we went, friends greeted him, and it was clear he was embedded in the society. He explained everything with warmth and lots of humour. He wasn’t able to guide us around Knossos, but made sure we found another guide who could. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.”
