Apostolis is a fantastic guide. He was so accommodating, tailoring our tour to suit the time we could make it and the sights we wanted to see.
He arrived on time, great vehicle and a very safe driver.
The tour itself was perfect, all of the information we wanted delivered so professionally and not at all dry. Lots of interesting facts only a local (professional historian) can provide, he made history come to life.
I highly recommend this tour guide and wish we had time for him to take us on another tour

Fabulous tour to make the events more tangible
Fantastic day out with Apostolos seeing where keys events happened to expand on the basics which we had some idea about. It always helps to make the history more tangible when you can go to where it happened and really see how things connected, and better still when you have someone with so much experience and knowledge to educate you.

A unique Chania experience that is an absolutely must do tour
Incredible, amazing, fascinating, surprising....just a few words to desctibe what a fabulous tour we had with Apostolis. Much more than a history tour..we saw incredible views, drove through villages of chania and of course heard incredible facts in interesting, off road locations. Highly recommended. You dont need to be a history buff to enjoy and appreciate this day. Thank you do much.

The history noone knows about.
Apostles was amazing. His knowledge was mind blowing. The battle of Crete in 1941 was the most important battle in WW2, had they lost we all would be speaking German.

Apostolis is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He personalized my tour to my interests and existing knowledge level and taught me a lot about the battle of Crete as well as Cretan and Greek culture and history. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about the Battle of Crete, regardless of existing knowledge level.

Great tour for military history buffs
Great private tour. Nice new car. Our guide Apostolis was a history major who was very knowledgeable about WW2 and the battle of Crete and took us to all the important places. He picked us up from the cruise ship right on time. We were able to tailor the tour to our own wishes

Knowledgeable WW2 Tour Guide in Crete
Apostles arrived at our hotel to pick us up and drove us on an epic adventure. My teenager loves WW2 history and they had many informative conversations together. We made many stops. We had bathroom breaks and a light lunch break. I enjoyed the historical stories that Apostles had to tell. The historical sites and cemeteries were wonderful places to visit. We spent 6 hours on the tour on a beautiful day. I would recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest in the history of Crete during WW2. If you are a WW2 fan, you really must go if you are in Crete.

Excellent tour analysing WW2 Battle of Crete
I have previously done a few WW2 tours of places like Normandy, Bastogne and Arnhem, and was super keen to find a guide who could provide a detailed tour of the Battle of Crete while I was on holiday here. Fortunately I found Apostolis.
I informed him before the tour that I wanted to come away from the day with a detailed understanding of how the Allies somehow managed to lose this battle. For context, the Germans thought there were only 5,000 allied soldiers on the island rather than the actual 40,000, took huge casualties on Day 1 as they fell from the sky on a windy day, and faced stiff resistance from the locals which they didn’t expect. But somehow still managed to win.
Apostolis provided an outstanding detailed overview of how the battle unfolded and key moments including the unnecessary loss of Hill 107.
Also fantastic detail on the German reprisals/war crimes on the island which I wasn’t previously aware of.
100% recommended for anybody interested in one of the key European theatre battles of WW2.
