Great choice for Battle of Crete - Excellent guide and content. Nicely spaced out between drive time, outside time and breaks. Clear and informative.
Only negative for my 13 year old is the lengthy duration. She would have been better on a half day tour perhaps covering fewer locations.

You certainly get your money's worth! - This battlefield tour was fabulous. Babis was an excellent guide and the company were very good at communicating - they even rang to warn us that they would be 10 minutes later than the expected pick-up time. Babis has a good command of English and is a careful driver.
Food and water were provided and the minibus with its smoked glass windows was spotlessly clean.
Having read several books about the battle, I was pleased that Babis was able to add many extra layers of detail to the story. He is, after all, a classicist and historian. In a shady spot, he gave us an illustrated talk using a book of maps and photographs which was very informative and interesting. It was good, too, to visit the sites which I had read so much about.
When the owner of the private collection we visited found out from Babis that my father had fought in the battle, he said that there was a memorial to his regiment (1st Welch) 100 yards down the road. Babis kindly took us down to see it. I was moved to tears.
Although it doesn't mention it in the itinerary on the website, the tour also takes in pivotal locations of the battle such as Galatas, the Ayia prison and 42nd Street.
I am really grateful to Babis and Gs Tours for such a powerful experience.
