Nice day - Nice day
Too bad the meal is taken on the go 12:10 to 12:30 and not much room to eat sitting in the boat
Spinalonga's guided suite is nice
As for the free time in Agios well if you want to eat an ice cream and do 1 or 2 shops otherwise too short to visit only 1h

Beautiful trip - It was an absolutely amazing trip and super well organised! Special thanks to our tour guide Christina who was truly wonderful. Me and my boyfriend had a lovely day out. They also have exceptional customer service as i left my sunglasses in the mini bus home, and they dropped them off at my hotel the next morning when i asked about them! Truly amazing company.

Excursions Spinalonga and Knossos! - Spinalonga:
A beautiful excursion made with a child. A very pleasant moment of sharing, clear explanations delivered by our guide. She had been explained to us by Renia, in Stalida, a very interesting person and who knew how to share his interest in Crete.
We also participated in the Knossos excursion. Registered with the same organization.

Interesting and fun day trip - This was an interesting and fun tour. The pace was good. The coach was comfortable and air conditioned. Boat was great. Lunch was good. Our guide communicated everything very clearly. As others have said the beach was tiny and very busy but it was still a very enjoyable swimming stop. Would recommend.

Beautiful - Superb cruise in Spinalonga Bay.
Stop swimming on a beautiful beach.
Lunch was super good.
The company is very correct: we had a refund because we were at the port ourselves.
A guide spoke French, it helps!!

Just perfect! - Organization is great, lunch was delicious and sufficient. All the staff were very friendly and did everything very well and they were very helpful. All destinations were very nice and you had enough time to see everything you are interested in.
Prices on the ship were actually quite fine. We had a lot of choice there.
Beach where we were on Kolokytha Bay was beautiful!!!
Entrance on Spinalonga we paid 20€ but I would recommend this to anyone.
The tour lasted from early morning until late noon (pickup was with us in Hersonissos at 08:40 and return was at 17:00) .
Leadership was very competent and it made everything interesting.
Just great it is definitely worth it I would recommend it to anyone.

Full tour, charming guides and multi language, good experience despite the number of people. - The transport management was very positive, we were taken and then picked up by a bus. By boat there is room, a decent lunch menu, just a little too loud music. Overall the excursion was very pleasant, including swimming in the turquoise water of the bay, and visiting the fort of Spinalonga.
Only downside: people who don't respect the given schedules and delay everyone, but that's always the worry about group activities.
I recommend to visit this part of the Crete, the experience is not too expensive and very complete.

Boats, history & beach - Good communication before trip and all transfers on time. Guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Spinalonga was very busy, so it was difficult to connect with its history. Not much time to look around. Beach trip slightly chaotic as too many people trying to get to and from boats. Definitely not the only boat that stops here. Beautiful location with clear waters but beach littered with rubbish and not the sandy beach you might imagine. A nice end to the day with a potter around Agios Nikolaos and a delicious gelato on a hot day.

Quite disappointed guided francophone super tour of the island super stop swims instead of 2 a stop too short 20 minutes - Not enough food, poor quality cabbage salad and chicken, not too much safety standard (missing vests) for lifeboats (I haven't seen any).
Very kind crew and guides
