The greatest part of this tour is the actual ride to and from the different sites visited. Specifically up in the mountains where you have a lovely view of the valley below. The guide was very knowledgeable and intetesting. The old port city was lovely but very crowded.
Just about everything is taken care of for you. Good communication. Very knowledgable guide, comfortable van. Saw a good sampling Crete both old and new.
