A perfect tour with a great guide. - We were so fortunate to spend a wonderful day with Spyros as our guide. He is friendly, knowledgable, has a great sense of humor, and showed us a part of Crete that constantly. surprised us. He seemed to know everyone in the villages where we stopped to visit an olive oil factory, a grocery store where he bought us some delicious Greek yogurt, picking strawberries from the field, enjoying Greek coffee in a cafe from a lovely woman who has been therefor decades. The scenery was spectacular and he seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did. I wanted to tip him but had no cash so this review will have to serve as extra thanks for showing us the Crete we would never have seen. Lary and Judy Schiller

Great family day full of new experiences! - Our family visited Crete in a cruise and we loved our experience with Spyros. He picked us up promptly from the port and took us all around. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and so warm and friendly. We loved all the stops we made but especially enjoyed going to the olive oil Factory, strawberry farm, pottery store and small cafe in Lasithi where we were treated to coffee and cookies. If you are looking for a more in-depth dive into the culture of Crete I would highly recommend! We had a great time and memorable day full of new and unique experiences.

Spyros was amazing!!! - We had a phenomenal time exploring the Lasithi Plateau with our guide/driver Spyros! He was so very kind and hospitable and exceptionally knowledgable on the culture of the people of Lasithi Plateau! From driving through the breathtaking terrain, visiting a local olive oil press, venturing into quaint local villages, tasting homemade yogurt with honey and fresh strawberries, stopping at a traditional Greek coffee shop, and trekking into the Cave of Zeus, we truly stepped into the lives and history of the wonderful Cretan people. Spyros made the experience all the more wonderful and we would highly recommend this tour if visiting Crete!
