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!!!

Family Adventure - We had a fabulous day with our family in Chania thanks to Kostas and SeaByBus. We are a family of 11, including 2 eight month old babies so arranging tours on our European cruise can tend to be challenging, but Christine made it effortless to book and plan for us. We spent a couple of hours at the beach and then went into town and did a nice walk and a little shopping. It was the perfect day. Reasonable pricing and very quick with responses too. I highly recommend this adventure if you’re traveling with a group.

Best private day trip ever - Back for round two and I can honestly say it was just as special, if not better! Christine and Thanos make you feel like family from the moment you step on the bus. Everything is so well organized yet still feels relaxed and exclusive. I especially loved that they were so kind with our little dog, it meant we could enjoy the whole day without stress. My parents joined us this time, and seeing them enjoy themselves so much was the highlight of my trip. Sea by Bus is an experience that sticks with you long after it’s over.

The best day - We had the best day on our private bus with Sea by Bus. Christine was amazing- she answered my many questions and recommended a tour that took us to and through some small villages in the White Mountains, to the top of the Samaria Gorge, then to the Botanical Gardens of Crete where we walked the short route and had lunch. Our driver, Thanos, was phenomenal. Made recommendations, took photos, came with soft drinks, water, and beer on board and gave us a ton of interesting information throughout the drive. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to hire a driver for the day!

Great tour experience - If you are in Crete on a Cruise ship, don't look beyond SeaByBus excursion company. Right from the initial inquiry until tour conclusion with a surprise local culture gift, their team will amaze you. No compromise on tour itinerary which is customizable, providing a proper meal with local cuisines at no extra cost, multiple drink options on the go and what not.
Kudos to trip organizer Christine and our tour driver Thanos.
Highly recommended!

Best Tour Services in Crete! - BEST TOUR SERVICES IN CRETE, GREECE! We operate Six Taste, one of the top food tours in America and Los Angeles' #1 family-owned food tour business for over 15 years, so we have very high standards when choosing and rating other tour companies. Christine and our driver Kostas went above and beyond to arrange the perfect day for our family. Kostas picked us up in a clean and luxurious Mercedes van. Communication was easy, friendly, and reliable. We visited one of the world's best beaches Elafonisi (with snacks, drinks, beach mats, and umbrellas all included), tried some delicious olive oil at the site of the world's oldest olive tree, and then to Old Town Chania where we dined at a recommended local restaurant. Christine even sent us
a list of Cretan dishes to try and gave us souvenirs to take home. SeaByBus was the BEST quality tour, transportation, and price we had during our visit to Crete. We researched and connected with A LOT of different companies and we're so glad we chose SeaByBus. Definitely book with this local company that cares about their customers, arranges EVERYTHING for you, and treats you like family!

Amazing day in Crete! - Cannot recommend this tour enough! We had our own private 12-person van and went to visit Elafonisi and the Chania harbor. Christine and Thanos were incredible! Everything was seamless from start to finish. Pick up was easy off of our boat, comfortable van, incredible lunch boxes and everything we needed for the beach was included!!! And after our time at the beach, we walked up the hill and they were waiting right there for us. The tour/walk through Chania was excellent and made it back in plenty of time for our cruise departure. This was an absolute highlight of our 12 day Mediterranean cruise!! Christine and Thanos, thank you for an unforgettable day!! You made it SO EASY, relaxing and fun for our group!!

Amazing small group tour to two beautiful beaches! - If you are looking for an amazing tour to Crete beaches with the most professional guide and driver book with seabybus now!!! Christina was very informative and gave lots of history and information about the island and the beaches. She kept it fun and interesting. Our driver Thanos was excellent! His driving was excellent and we felt very safe. We were picked up on time and dropped off on time to the ship. They provided lunch boxes with local bakery items for lunch, water, sodas, and beer. They also provided beach mats and umbrellas to use at the beach. The bus had Wi-Fi, great air conditioning and it was very clean. It even had a TV screen where they showed videos and information. We had a Group of 14 people in a small van, which was very nice and comfortable. We stopped at a famous gorge and took pictures and sampled some local honey from vendors on our way to the beach. We visited Elafonissi beach…(pink sand beach) and Falasarna beach. Both were absolutely beautiful! At the end of our tour Christina was so kind and gave us a gift to Remember them by. Above and beyond service and kindness.
Please contact Christina to book your tour! You won’t regret it!!!!
