全日クノッソス宮殿-ラシティ高原-ゼウスの洞窟

This tour was fantastic and greatly exceeded our expectations. Kostas was friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous which is what made the trip so great. We learned so much about Cretan culture, mythology, and the food! Kostas took us to the best restaurant we visited in our 11 days in Greece (which included Athens and Santorini). We highly recommend this tour!

Kostas was an amazing guide. The trip was custom tailored for myself, adding in a couple of stops as I had already been to an Olive Mill. Kostas knowledge and interesting conversation kept me entertained, whilst providing my appetite for a local perspective. The place and caves are interesting. The country side is stunning.

My husband and I booked this tour and even before we met Kostas we had been emailing him different questions and from the start, he was very responsive and very accommodating. Kostas informed us even before we got to Greece that the cave of Zeus was closed, but he would find other places we could go. All the places he took us were fantastic and his knowledge of Crete is impeccable. He not only provided us with lots of water, but delicious homemade treats along the way! Also stopped by a strawberry farm – enjoyed fresh non-pesticide strawberries with his family’s homemade honey- simply incredible! The restaurant he took us to was very delicious and very authentic Greek. We spent 10 hours with him, not only learning about Crete, but also getting to know him on a personal level, which made the day even more special. We would highly recommend this tour with Kostas as it was our highlight of our trip!

Kostas rolls out the red carpet for his guests! Having a luxurious Mercedes van with a table inside to leave our belongings in while we explored was so convenient. He took us to places we wouldn't have known about. We were able to drink fresh water from a local spring and eat the most amazing meal with a beautiful view. He also took us to an alternative cave, which my son really enjoyed, since Zeus was closed. He's a fantastic driver (how he maneuvers his van in such small spaces is a resume worthy skill) and he provides snacks at almost every stop! These aren't your average snacks either. They are homemade by his mom. In addition, he leaves you with parting thank you gifts of his families honey and some tea! I highly recommend his tour. It was fantastic!

A very interesting day covering a lot of local history with the sites visited added to by the knowledge of Kosas our guide and the wonderful sweet treats provided by his Mum.

Kostas is an exceptional host. He had expert level knowledge of the history and mythology of Crete, and all the other destinations under the Greek umbrella. He provided water and snacks throughout the day, and customized our trip to meet our “American” mealtime habit. He managed our time from airport pickup to drop off to perfection. Truly our best tour of trip.

Very worthwhile tour. Extremely knowledgeable guide and authentic stops for meals with wonderful food .

Very knowledgeable and proud tour guide. We were able to adjust our destinations Based on our interests.

Our tour with Kostas was the best part of our entire trip to Greece. His love for Crete showed in every aspect of the day. This was so much more than a tour of Crete. It was a culinary, cultural, and historical experience where you really got to learn so much about this amazing island. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience. We were able to select different to-dos throughout the day based on what was open or not and his recommendations. My husband and I will be talking about this tour with everyone until we come and do it again...that is how amazing it was!

Our expectation: a day filled with ancient history, mountain landscapes, and maybe a glimpse of Zeus. Things turned out a bit differently – and honestly, even better. Right on time, my daughter and I were picked up at our hotel by our guide Kostas, in his clean and comfortable car. After a quick round of friendly small talk, we revisited the planned route: the Cave of Zeus was unfortunately closed, and hundreds of cruise ship passengers were already heading toward Knossos that morning. No problem for Kostas – a true Cretan and someone who knows the island like the back of his hand. He quickly reshaped the day’s itinerary with skill and care, and what followed became one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Kostas is well-educated, polite, friendly, and thoughtful – and his knowledge of Cretan history and culture is impressive. But what made the day truly special were the open, personal conversations we had along the way – not just about ancient ruins, but about life, philosophy, and everything in between. Even though our original route changed, our expectations weren’t just met – they were exceeded. If you're looking for a private, insightful, and flexible tour with a local who truly cares, Kostas is the perfect guide!
