Enjoyable trip service
We were on the trip to Chania on 19th August 2026 with Andreas as the guide and Andreas as our driver. We were absolutely happy with the both of them - with the driver who was high professional, very friendly and patient in spite of the difficult traffic; with the Andreas the guide we enjoyed a lot of interesting information given us in two languages. We appreciate very much the service offered to us in this trip!
Kind regards from the German guests

Chania
We were picked up on time at restaurant Nostos. Friendly guide and bus driver. We got back to the hotel on time. When getting off the bus a slow walk up to the meeting place. Old town visited at 5am time. Be able to view enough. Highly recommended.

Beautiful town and effective travel agency 😄
It was raining this day so we decided to book this trip to Chania to make the most of our holiday. It was great, Chania is a very beautiful city. The service of our guide Jorge was super. Effective and prompt pick up and delivery.

Narrow streets to linger
A diverse city with different architectural cultures to admire. Countless streets with restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of visitors.

Gorgeous!
We absolutely fell in love with Chania! The whole place has such a relaxed, happy feel and is so beautiful. We spent our time just strolling and absorbing the city, saw ancient ruins, an ongoing archaeological dig, fabulous views and spent some time just watching the world go by while having a delicious lunch at a very reasonable price. Oh, and quite a bit of shopping too!
It’s slightly more expensive than just getting the local bus, but for the hotel pickup it’s well worth it, not least because of the helpful and informative guide, Anastasia. She gave us lots of background on the way, which really added to the day.

Beautiful town!
We had a great guide on the bus ride and the driver was excellent. The town of Chania is just beautiful and the time spent there was just right to explore, shop and grab lunch!
