Amazing experience!! Our trip was on the Friday the 31st July and it was a fantastic day. Our tour guide, lovely lady with red hair (apologies I forgot her name) was phenomenal, very experienced and knowledgeable. She kept looking after all of us in such a lovely way. Big shout out to our driver George, very skilled driving up the hills and narrow roads. The whole day is full of amazing places to see and visit! Very worthy!!
A very good way to see a good few historical Cretan sights in one day. Had a really good time, we were picked up directly from our hotel and dropped off again, our guide, Roula, was so knowledgable, very kind and easy to talk to. There were lots of other families/couples on the bus and she made the experience accessible for everyone. All the different places we got to see were brilliant. The experience was around 12 hours long with a stop for lunch. Thank you Roula!
It was a wonderful experience with a very nice guide and the chauffeur drive safely. Thank you for the visit to Knossos to , the guide gave a magnificent tour on the site. Greetings Claude and Caroline
The Lassithi Plateau has beautiful nature, blooming fields, windmills, ancient plane trees, the eco-village is interesting, and in Knossos, we had a wonderfully detailed tour.
A great day of exploration! A lot was packed into the day, and even though we did not have the chance to visit the cave as it was under restoration, we were all contacted in advance to ask if we wanted to book another day or be refunded if that part of the trip was important, but we opted to still go. That way, I feel that the trip was much more evenly spaced out. We still got a great story about Zeus and Greek Gods on the trip up the mountains, and the views/places we saw up the Lasthiti Plateau with the windmills were gorgeous! The small village Krasi where the Plane Tree is was very lovely too, as was the Eco Park where we bought one of the unique pots made in their very own pottery studio. The Olive Oil Farm was great too, and their buffet does some amazing chips cooked in the oil they sell. We even got to visit a little known monastery which was very quaint and calm. The highlight was certainly Knossos Palace and the surrounding ruins. It's in a beautiful spot, plenty of shaded areas for hot days, and peacocks everywhere. It's quite fascinating to learn how it was found, what was done to restore it, and if you're really keen to see the original alfresco sections, they are in the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion due to weather risks, as it's all open air. From memory, I believe our guide was Rula, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our driver George even drove us all the way back to our resort in Sisi, which can be a pain for the bigger coaches. Just all in all, it was a great day, and for us Brits who burn easily, I would recommending taking plenty of water, a hat, and decent walking shoes, otherwise you'll be in a spot of bother.
I am thrilled. The tour guide Irini was top-notch. I have never received so much interesting input on a tour; the woman does her job with absolute passion. Aside from this, it was a great value for money. I would like to give 8 stars if available. And I immediately booked the next tour with the organizer.
Our tour guide Roula and driver Nikos were fantastic! We had great communication in advance about changes to planned stops and the offer of a refund due to poor weather conditions affecting the trip, however we pushed ahead and enjoyed it anyway. It was great value for money with many planned stops, however it would have made more sense for us to pay more for the excursion and have everything included in the price e.g. entry to Knossos. I also think the olive mill farm was a bit misleading as looks nothing like the photos. We didn't get to visit the actual farm with olive vinyard, only the museum bit with example machinery. Special shout out to Roula though as she was so knowledgeable and led the tour in 3 languages (Greek, English and German). She was able to confidently answer anything! Overall this trip was enjoyable but it's mainly in the mountains which has poor visibility on a cloudy day and can get very cold and wet so prepare for the weather.
Organizers were very responsive to our questions. Our guide, Rula was excellent- knowledgeable and organized.
This is the best tour I have ever experienced due to the tour guide Spyros. Spyros was fun, attentive and ensured at all times that we were all having a great day. As a local , his knowledge was amazing and his generosity with his time and lots of extras was limitless. Waving hello to old friends in the villages made the day such fun . Coffee and traditional cake with locals was another added bonus. It is a long day but at the end you will have had a day that you will remember for a very long time.
Lovely, well organised and busy day. Saw and experienced lots, good value for money. Would recommend but bear in mind that it is tiring
