I’d definitely recommend Explore Real Crete Tours to anyone visiting Crete! We had the pleasure of spending the day with Stavros, and he was hands down the best tour guide we could have asked for. From the moment we met him, he made the whole day fun, engaging, and full of laughter. His knowledge of Crete, its history, and local culture was incredible, and he shared it in such an entertaining way that you were never bored. We visited the stunning town of Chania, where we wandered through the beautiful Venetian-style back streets, stopped at a gorgeous lake, and explored the charming old town of Rethymno. Every stop was breathtaking, and Stavros made each place even more memorable with his stories and recommendations. You can really tell he loves what he does. He made everyone feel welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for an authentic, fun, and informative tour of Crete, look no further than Explore Real Crete Tours—and if you’re lucky enough to get Stavros as your guide, you’re in for an amazing day. Five stars just isn’t enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Early in the season so we chose a tailor-made private trip - arranged over the ‘phone and WhatsApp direct with Stavros. We had a great time - Stavros is fun, informative and he adapted the trip to our wishes and a full day flew by. Comfortable vehicle, safely driven and everything about the service is professional and thoughtful.
