The day trip was amazing. We liked it and enjoyed the trip alot! Both Katerina and Ektoras were extremely patient and nice towards us too 💯 Ektoras was a safe driver and Katerina shared great information about different places with us.

Chania is good - however the guide has an accent which was difficult to understand and she did a 10 min tour of Chania with us and the rest was all free time- when we had engaged her for 8 hrs

We took this tour on our honeymoon and it was one of my favorites! Our guide was superb! He took photos at all the best spots, we had a really good lunch w/wine and raki??? (Very potent!) and just an all around lovely day. Def recommend to see parts of Greece!

We enjoyed our visit on Crete. Our main objectives were to see Chania and Rethymno and the driver and guide accomodated us (with just a quick drive past Kournas Lake - which is not worth a stop compared to the two cities).
Both Chania and Rethymno were beautiful cities and quite different, with respect to architecture, from the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Highly recommend visits to both cities.
The driver, Dimitris was lively and welcoming and charming! He selected an excellent restaurant for lunch in Rethymno - called Agrimia. The food was absolutely delicious!
Our guide, Eirina, is very knowledgeable on matters of history. She was very informative. I'd just say that she has to ensure that all guests get to hear all the information. I understand that might be a bit of a challenge when one (me) would stop to take photos! They were such beautful places!

Where to begin?!…If you are reading this you are considering a trip to Crete or have already pulled the trigger and are looking for a day trip. We relied on previous TA reviews and glad we did. Based out of Heraklion we wanted to head West and departed at ~9:00 am. We were treated with tours of Chania and Rethymnon, and lunch in Lappa by a world class tour guide, Alexander, and our driver Dmitri in a lux 6-passenger Mercedes Sprinter van. This van allowed us to relax in large, comfortable seats and wifi. First class.
Alex’s knowledge of Crete’s history, culture, & architecture are second to none. He was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, organized, interesting, and, most of all, a genuinely great person. He brought Crete’s history to life through its architectural styles and fortresses. We have numerous pictures of us in the Venetian alleys and harbor waterfront graciously taken by Alex at every postcard location
Everything about the day exceeded our expectations. All 4 of us said we want to come back and stay in Chania next time and have Alex lead us in other parts of this amazing island. The trip exceeded our expectations. It was professional in every aspect. It was a great way to be introduced to this amazing island, people, and culture. Worth every Euro. Highly recommend.

The best part of this experience was Kournas Lake. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Additionally we ended the evening at an amazing restaurant by the port where we had the best seafood. If you want to avoid the rush and have a exclusive experience, I would recommend using this service. Everything was excellent.

We had a wonderful experience with Alexander, who is not only an outstanding ambassador of Crete but also an excellent professional and client’s ‘oriented. We discovered the real spirit of Crete with him in so many different aspects.

My guide, Alexander, was very accommodating the whole way through, very knowledgeable of both cities- he clearly knows the island very well. It was a pleasure speaking with him; I felt very looked after. He took many photos for me and gave me several opportunities to change the itinerary of the day should I wish to. I really couldn't have asked for more.

We had the privilege to join Costas for the best day trip to the western prefectures of Crete (Rethymno and Chania) that one could possibly take! From rugged nature wonders of majestic mountain peaks and deep gorges to urban scapes and little known traditional Cretan restaurants, Costas personalized our trip for the best experience one can have in Crete.
My friends and I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
Yammas, Costas!
