Superb - I would highly recommend this company. You could not wish to meet any nicer people. Both the lady in the shop who books the tours and Roula who drives the mini -bus. If you want to book any tours, this is the company to use, you won’t regret it

Excellent personnalised tours - This was a lovely experience. We were only three couples in the mini van with a very friendly and knowledgeable driver. Because it is a small group the trip can be tailor made according to the interests of the clients. As the weather was not so good for the beach, part of our group went sightseeing in Aghios Nikolaos while my husband and I were taken to the archeological site of Gournia (which I had wanted to visit). We were even provided with a packed lunch (sandwiches, fruit and juice) and bottled water. We only regretted not being able to take a second trip during the week as this was such an amazing day with many discoveries. Highly recommended.
