Stavros was an absolute delight to work with while booking via email and customizing our own tour. He is such a great communicator, historian, guide, and hilarious! We toured small villages, the plateau, Zeus’ Cave and special stops to enjoy a glass or two of Crete wine. Our olive oil tour was great and our local lunch, specially picked for us by Stavros, was the best Greek food we had on our 15 day stay in Greece.
Can’t say enough good things about Stavros!!! Plus we had bougie coffee!!!!

Amazing tour of the farmlands of Crete
The tour was extremely personalized and wonderful, even educational! Our guide and host Stavros was super knowledgeable, kind, and efficient throughout the tour, even taking us to small town villages and farmlands to experience living in Crete. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Fantastic tour of Crete!
We had a fantastic tour of Crete with our guide Stavros. He was born in Crete and knows the island, its history, and local villages well. He showed us the key areas and several spots that we would have never seen without him. He took my wife and me to a family farm where we picked strawberries and enjoyed them with a wonderful glass of wine. Don’t hesitate to book this tour - you won’t regret it!

Amazing!! You will love it!
We ended up being the only ones traveling that day. We got a private tour all around Crete. When I tell you it was nothing but magical would be an understatement. We met locals and sat with an 88 year woman at her cafe. We sat and talked. Amazing! If you don’t book this adventure, you’re crazy!

You’ll love Real Crete
Stavros with Real Crete Tours is the very best guide on the island. You will not regret booking with him. He knows everyone and all the local places, beautiful views, and best food. He has a high-end transport van that is a very comfortable way to travel. We highly recommend him and his company!

Great tour of Crete; we loved it!
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Our guide picked us up on time and was very welcoming. He was VERY knowledgeable about Crete and showed us the several things off the beaten path. We stopped to have coffee at an authentic Greek cafe run by local woman who had run village cafe for decades. Since my wife has a foot injury and we were not able to traverse the Zeus cave, our guide was able to pivot and show us other things that we found fascinating. All-in-all, we loved it. I highly recommend it.

Brilliant tour! Highly recommend.
We had an amazing day exploring Crete with Stavros! He was friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. It felt more like spending the day with a local friend than being on a tour.
Stavros knows the island incredibly well and shared lots of interesting stories along the way. He took us to some beautiful spots and made sure we were having a great time.
If you're visiting Crete and want a relaxed, authentic experience, I’d definitely recommend Explore Real Crete Tours. Thanks for a fantastic day!

An unforgettable day out.
This was an excellent eight hour tour which never flagged. It was varied - Knossos, an olive oil factory, coffee in a village square, and incredible scenery. Stavros was knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining and quickly tuned into our family's interests.

Great day tour - you will see the best of Crete
What a wonderful tour! We were picked up by Mike - who entertained us for the whole day with interesting facts and stories, even testing our geography skills! He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and contentious of our needs. He rearranged the stops so we could get to Knossos Palace before it got too busy.
We toured an olive oil farm and had an olive oil tasting
We visited Lasithi Plateau - spectacular! and had our best meal at a local restaurant.
I would highly recommend this tour - it was our highlight of Crete.
