Second time booking, and once again—EXCEPTIONAL! - This was the second time in two years that we booked a tour with Christine and Crete Seabus Tours, and it was even better than the first time!
Once again, our tour coordinator (Christine) and driver (Thanos this time) were both very friendly and professional. We originally booked for six people, and due to exhaustion from earlier days elsewhere, only our two kids ended up going. Our kids are 18 and 24, but we were still worried about them going off on a tour without us in a foreign island, but Christine updated us via text the entire tour, giving us exact locations and time estimates for each place they were at! We were so reassured! They were driven to every place they requested, plus other places Thanos recommended, and given ample time at each place. The snacks and drinks were greatly enjoyed, and the beach mats and umbrellas were easy and useful! The thank you gift was also wonderful. Exceptional experience! Overall, I cannot recommend this company enough! I hope to return to Crete, and book this tour again for a third time in the future!

Absolutely wonderful day! - From the initial booking to their follow up after the tour, SeaByBus Crete was an absolutely wonderful company to work with! I received a WhatsApp message from Christine shortly after booking and she crafted a great itinerary for my husband, our 8-year old son, and me. The day before the tour and the morning of, we received additional helpful details from her. Our driver Thanos was absolutely wonderful too. He explained a lot of things (even though we didn’t book a separate tour guide) and made the day easy going and fun. At the beach stop, he provided beach mats, umbrellas, and goggles for our son which he LOVED. Beautiful day all the way around. Our son said it was his favorite thing we’ve did on our cruise!

Amazing day on Crete for a family of 5! - We were unexpectedly on Crete for a day when our cruise ship changed ports and are so glad we ended up there. Christine and Thanos gave us a perfect day exploring Elafonissi Beach, visiting local olive grove to see and learn about their local way of life, and shopping through their charming Old Town. Our entire family (2 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 child) enjoyed the snack boxes they provided at the beach of local specialties - one of the ways Christine and Thanos made us feel welcome and well cared for. We hope to visit Crete again one day. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it!

An Unforgettable Day in Crete - From the moment I started communicating with Christina, her quick, timely, professional and thorough responses were an indication of the great service they provide. She & Thanos made this full day excursion effortless, lots of fun and a memorable experience for our group. We learned so much about the beauty of this island, the spectacular views, beaches, old town charm of Rethymno and most especially the people of Crete. We highly recommend them for your next visit to Crete.

Just do it! - A truly amazing experience. Christine and Thanos drove us through the mountains,to Elfaniso Beach and educated us the entire time in Crete and its traditions, food, culture, …so much! We stopped at a local vendor for olive oil, honey, and some other treats! Packed us a fantastic lunch and beach mat, towels, games and umbrellas for the beach. They then continued the tour through the town as well! Highly recommend!!

Akrotiri peninsula tour - This is our third year using Sea By Bus. Thanos and Christine are amazing! Thanos showed up on time in a clean van that included Wi-Fi. Thanos is fantastic with the historical information to give the sites perspective. The tour started by visiting the beautiful Kalathas beach. From there we proceeded to Stavros beach where the movie “Zorba the Greek” was filmed. From there we visited Agia Triada monastery. Very peaceful and beautiful place. Next was seitan Limania beach. Unbelievable view and beach! The last site on the tour was Eftherios Venizelos tomb. Great view of Chania from here. We concluded the tour with a drink of raki at our drop off point. We will use Sea by Bus next year as well!!!
