Heraklion side of Crete - The olive oil tour was most enlightening. Marionas was extremely knowledgeable. Answered all our questions and more. It was a private tour for the 4 of us. He was very flexible about which parts of the tour we wanted to spend the most time on. He took us to an amazing Greek restaurant with delicious food as well.

Amazing experience - The day started early, but as soon as the tour started, we were in for a treat! Marinos, the tour guide, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The first stop was an olive oil factory, where he explained how olive oil is made, and how much olive oil cretans consume! We were fascinated, and were given enough time to look around and enjoy the experience! During the tour, he bought us coffee and fruit, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time! The van was air-conditioned, and well-maintained. We highly recommend this tour, if you want to see the “real Crete”, as well as the full experience! One of our favorite days of the whole vacation!

Saw it all and had a great experience! - We had the best day seeing eastern Crete with Marinos! It was a full day touring the olive oil factory, climbing up to Zeus Cave, and exploring Spinalonga Island. Marinos is a wealth of information regarding Crete and was a truly excellent host and guide for our private tour. We appreciated seeing so much in one day and Marinos’ flexibility based on our preferences. I highly recommend booking this tour; many thanks, Marinos!

Our Best Day in Crete - What a fantastic day we had! Marinos treated us like his own family and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Crete. We loved learning about the history and culture of Crete from showing us his wedding video to explaining centuries long traditions of the Cretin people. My entire family enjoyed the adventure, from my teenager to my husband. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Experience! - Full day tour with a knowledgeable and friendly local gide. Small family run business. Willing to taylor the tour to create an individual experience, and recommended local spots to visit later. Took us to a hidden gem of a restaurant for lunch. Wonderful views and learned plenty about the local culture and history. Tour included a couple smaller additional destinations we weren't expecting. Kept well fed with snacks (including home made baking) and beverages throughout the day. Felt treated like family!

Great Tour While In Crete - Angie was very personable and explained all the sites we visited. We met Angie early in the morning and spent the day exploring Crete and it’s many sites. We enjoyed Spinalonga and on our way there Angie explained it’s history, she’s very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Crete. If you’re not quite sure of Zeus’s Cave, do it. This tour was perfect and they were very accommodating, they even moved the pick up location to a closer city.
