Wonderful day - It was a lovely day. George is most knowledgeable and shares his knowledge well. He accompanied us in the boat to Spinalonga so that we don’t face any trouble returning! While Agios Nicolas was beautiful, Spinalonga was a disappointment. We expected a charming town. Instead we found the remnants of an old town with fortifications. But Plaka was wonderful. We sat in a restaurant on the beach and enjoyed a couple of hours. Overall it was a good day with a great guide.

Perfect guide in Crete. Book him as soon as you can! - George is a perfect guide. So easygoing, knowledgeable, smart, considerate, and kind. We had a wonderful day touring with him. He was very flexible, accommodating to our schedule, and led us to off-the-beaten path places as well as to important sites. His minivan was comfortable, spotless, and he is an excellent driver. Thank you, George!

Magical day in Crete - The places we visited were beautiful, the views breathtaking, and the atmosphere truly special. From the old monastery frozen in time and the friendly locals in charming villages and olive groves to enjoying delicious food and drinks by the sea, every moment was unforgettable. Our host had plenty of surprises, making the day absolutely incredible!

A superb discovery! - The weather was perfect to discover the wonders of Crete. We were able to visit a charming traditional Greek village to enjoy a good Greek coffee, it was like going back in time. We met farmers harvesting olives in a picturesque olive grove, it was an unforgettable experience. Our host, George, exceeded all our expectations — we couldn’t have dreamed better. I highly recommend it

Summer memories into winter - We had a wonderful time exploring the elegant side of Crete, including the renowned Spinalonga and picturesque Agios Nikolaos. We gained fascinating insights into olive oil production and savored some truly exceptional varieties. The charming villages, the monastery, and the historic Spinalonga created lasting memories that keep us warm through the winter. We were incredibly fortunate to have Yorgos, a dedicated professional, as our host. The next day, we asked him to share another one of his favorite sides of the island with us.
