Best day trip ever - We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Sea by Bus Crete tours! Our guide, Christine, was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into Cretan history and culture throughout the day. She was kind, courteous, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day, creating an unforgettable experience for us. We visited some of Western Crete’s most iconic sites, including the stunning Elafonisi and Falassarna beaches, with plenty of time to explore and enjoy. Our driver, Thanos, was excellent as well — keeping us safe and on schedule while allowing us to fully experience everything on the itinerary. We truly had a day to remember and would highly recommend Sea by Bus Crete tours to anyone visiting the island!

Exceeded all expectations - these guys really know what they are doing - I found this tour via TripAdvisor, the reviews are all excellent so I was expecting a good day out but the tour really went above and beyond. The communication from Christina from the moment I'd booked was excellent, clear, friendly and so helpful. Their minibus is very comfy, air conditioned, modern, tv's for the excellent info provided during the drive. The lunch provided was excellent, Cretian pastries and a sandwich & drinks. Christinas knowledge and obvious pride for her heritage shone through, he was so engaging and helpful. The driver, (Kosta I think) was safe and sensible on the windy roads. The tour itself was excellent, we visited Elafonisi and Falasarna beaches then to Vouves to visit the beautiful olive tree and learn more about the olive oil industry on the island. It was just brilliant, faultless and worth every penny. Thank you so much!

One of the best days on Crete - One of the best days we’ve had on our holiday. Christine and Hanas were so lovely and looked after us very well. Nothing was a problem and we surely felt very comfortable in Christine and Hanas’ company. We’ve learnt a lot about Crete and its people, traditions and language which we really enjoyed. We also had a lot of free time to spend as a family and just relax in a beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend.

Best tour guides yet! - Christina and Thanasi were wonderful tour guides. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. They always went the extra mile to ensure our tour was perfect! Extra quick stops at the olive oil factory and Samari Gorge were a nice surprise! Must request these two tour guides. Amazing!! Beaches are beautiful!

Incredible day with wonderful guides - This was an amazing experience. Top notch from booking to finish. Christine and our driver were wonderful. Professional, warm, knowledgeable, flexible, organized and a true pleasure to spend the day with. They used some photos and videos to share history and signpost our day. The beaches were beautiful and it was a treat to visit the oldest olive tree in Greece. We highly recommend this tour - literally don’t think it could’ve been better.

Fun day Touring the area around Chania on the Island of Crete - Christine and Thanassis were wonderful guides and hosts. Besides seeing incredible sites we all enjoyed sampling Cretan dishes at 2 Tavernas. The explanations about the places we visited were interesting and easy to understand. The videos on the van provided context before we arrived at the destinations. I highly recommend touring with SeaByBus
