I would like to state from the time I contacted Christine to receive information about the tours.Christine was easy to communicate with and very pleasant. As it was our first visit to Crete.
Christine was the tour guide. She was very informative and caring and always made sure our family was comfortable and safe.
Thanos was our driver and made us feel safe with his driving skills. He was such a nice guy as well.
If anyone is interested in booking a tour with " SeaByBus Explore Crete ". You will not regret it. They exceeded our expectations.

A fabulous day trip!
Crete (Chania):
Christina and Thanos treated us like family from the time they met us at the port until the moment they dropped us back off. The van was air conditioned and they provided water, beer and soft drinks, as well as phone chargers. The drive to the olive oil mill was scenic and Christina provided us with a wonderful history of Crete. The olive oil mill tour was wonderful, complete with an explanation of how they harvest the olives and turn it into oil using machinery. We got to try several of their olive oils, olive paste, and balsamic vinegar. Everything was incredible.
Next we went to Kournas Lake, where we were treated to Greek coffee drinks as well as sampling the local delicacy, sfakianes. Beautiful scenery and overall a lovely stop. Made friends with a calico cat. “Who’s hungry” works yet again!
From there we went to Rethymno and took a beautiful walk around the old city which offers many cafes, restaurants and shops. We stopped and had lunch and then continued our walk along the harbor.
A wonderful tour. 10 out of 10.

Christina and Thanos were...
Christina and Thanos were very pleasant and informative. They were also happy to vary the program as we had already visited the olive factory a couple of days earlier, taking us to the botanical gardens instead.
We had a very good time.

Super attentive, relaxing and organised!
This trip was so much fun! Our guides were amazing and sorted virtually everything for us, so all we had to do was relax and have fun! They ensured we had free time around rethymno and once we reached the lake they had everything ready for us (like the pedalo)! Super attentive, would definitely recommend!

Multigenerational must!
Our favorite tour thus far on our Mediterranean cruise! We are a multigenerational family group traveling on a cruise that was rerouted to Crete. I read the reviews and selected this tour which far exceeded our expectations. Comfortable vehicle with every detail thought of! They even provided boosters for my kids and charging cables for our phones. Anything we expressed interest in or asked questions about was responded to! The kids, parents, and grandparents all enjoyed our experience! Christine and Thanos were so very hospitable and enjoyable to be with. Thank you! We hope to return to Crete and try another of their tours!

Excellent well orginized trip with extremely nice & friendly tour guides!
Our experience on this tour was well beyond our expectations. First we visited the beautiful lake Kournas, the drive there from Platanias where we were picked up took maybe a bit under an hour, which went very nicely and quickly when the lovely tour guide Christine told us things about Crete, Cretans and showed us interesting photos & videos from the screen on the minivan. (very nice & comfy minivan by the way! ) She also made sure all the time that we were fine, I was travelling with my grandparents, she certainly made sure that they were okay at all times and told us that there was no hurry whatsoever, which was very nice and brought a very nice & relaxing atmosphere, just what you'd like to have on a holiday!
The drive from the lake to the city of Rethymno went very well while enjoying the great lunch we were offered. We all had our own lunchboxes with delicious sandwiches and other great local delicacies. Also we had drinks, ice cold water, soft drinks etc.. All included in the price!
Overall this was an excellent experience, if you want to have a private tour at a reasonable price, and really nice and friendly people, you should definitely choose Seabybus! You could see how greatful they were to us for choosing them, and we certainly will again when we return to Crete next year! They have tours to other interesting places too. Thank you for the nice day we got to spend with you!

A wonderful day trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, guided by friendly and informative Christina. Everything was so well organized. Drinks and lovely lunch boxes were packed for us to enjoy, when we reached the beach at Plakias. Rethymno was beautiful to wander around the narrow streets and check out the sights. Our final stop was at Kournas lake, which was beautiful. I can highly recommend this tour.
