Knossos - Zeushöhle - Alte traditionelle Dörfer-Olivenölfabrik

We visited Crete not knowing much about its people and the culture. We only know about Knossos from textbooks and documentaries. Cretans are very friendly and extremely proud of their distinct cultures and traditions. Touring the olive factory and driving up the mountains to visit some the villages really helped us to understand and appreciate Crete and its culture. Thank you, Stavros for showing us your island and entertaining us for the day. It was an experience we will not forget. A must tour for anyone who wants to see beautiful views up in the mountains and enjoy a wonderful company of the locals.

Stavros went above and beyond to cater our tour to our preferences while showing us the "real Crete". We did quite a bit of driving, but it was never boring...loaded with history and trivia. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

A fantastic full day out. Spyros was a great tour guide and host, treating us to his encyclopaedic knowledge, warm hospitality and sense of humour. We learned a lot about the history of Crete and Greece, got to see some uniquely personal landmarks and ate some lovely food. The schedule was very well planned out, with the walk up to Zeus’ Cave just tiring enough to work up a nice appetite for the traditional meal, before exploring the Knossos ruins in the afternoon. We were lucky enough to have a great group of people join us on the tour too, so it was all very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

We had wonderful time with our guide Spyros, he explained all our tours very thoroughly. Enjoyed all day

We had such an amazing time on this tour, and Stavros was without doubt one of the best guides we’ve ever encountered on a tour like this. He made sure we had a perfect time, and he went well out of his way to accommodate my family and the other family paired with us. Exceptional all around and we wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend this tour and anything this tour company puts together. Well worth it!! Thanks Stavros!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Spyros early this April! We only had two days in Crete so we wanted to make the most of it. This tour absolutely nailed it! We got to see so many amazing spots, eat incredible local food, and go into each step of the journey with a lot of valuable backstory and information. Spyros is an amazing storyteller and made everyone comfortable! The group size was just perfect, too, so it didn't feel "commercial" but wasn't expensive like a private tour. Booking was easy, and communication was smooth. This was the best tour of our trip to Greece! 🤍💙

Stavros is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. He made sure we were comfortable, hydrated, and that we saw the major highlights of the true Crete island and people. I would highly recommend this guide regardless of what trip itinerary is chosen, as he will customize it to your preferences.

Our guide, Stavros, was friendly and knowledgeable. He has a passion for Crete. I highly recommend this tour for anyone curious about the history and culture of Crete.

We did our tour of Crete today with Stavros and a great group of people, and it was one of the best tours my wife or I have ever done. He’s the friendliest, funniest guy. He knows all the small details and tells the full story of Crete to truly know and understand the beautiful history of this place. If we could, we would do every tour in Greece with Stavros, and couldn’t recommend it more to anybody considering it.

Stavros is an excellent guide and driver….. he knows everyone and is an expert on Crete but keeps the tour interesting with his humor! We spent two days with Stavros and he took us to some amazing places. Loved picking strawberries as we sipped wine! He has fantastic suggestions for restaurants. When we come back to Crete we will definitely tour with Stavros 😊
