From Chania private trip to Spili-Kourtaliotiko-Kalypso beach

This tour was the best! Angie is so easy to get along with, we all had a blast riding along with her and she's a fabulous tour guide. We were a party of 9, 4 adults and 5 kids ages 18, 16, 16, 13, and 10. All of the stops were interesting and worthwhile, I would love to go back and spend more time in all of them. The Gorge - very cold but worth trying it. A long walk down but not too tough, i did it in birkenstocks and was fine. Calypso Beach - so beautiful and clear, a very beautiful spot. We rented snorkels and had a great time, but if i went back i'd probably bring a little float for the kids because its more of a swimming hole than a beach. Spili - the most charming little mountain town. We loved lunch and shopped around a little bit and definitely could've spent even more time there. There really was never a dull moment on this tour!

Angie was amazing! We could not have asked for a better guide. She was like good friend just showing us her paradise here in Crete. She was wonderful with our kids. I mean she really went the extra mile here-she didn’t have to but she went all out to make our experience personal, captivating and inspirational. She kept us safe, well fed and pleasantly surprised at every destination. She was flexible and anticipated our every need. Her transportation was super clean, so comfortable and COOL! She clearly knows every nook and cranny on this beautiful island and her enthusiasm was beautiful and energizing. We will always remember how she made us feel and left us wanting to book every tour she might offer. Even if you only have a half day to hook up with Angie, it’s time well spent. Thank you Angie!

Very hot but enjoyable day in comfort. Angie was very considerate and changed around the itinerary to allow us to explore everything in the heatwave. Very flexible and really good communication from start to finish. Some great discussions throughout the day that really helped us get to know the island, history and culture. Thank you Angie :-)

A pure joy of discovery and adventure during a day exploring the best places around Chania, enhanced by the fascinating sharing of its history by our guide Angie. She is amazing! We laughed a lot with her, the experience was as funny as it was interesting. We are excited to contact Angie again for our next holiday in Crete, as she was the sweetest guide ever and she offers many other excursions. Thank you so much! À bientôt !

The experience got us totally amazed ! The Kourtaliotiko Waterfall was refreshing and breathe taking landscape ! We discover the charming Spili village and the incredible Calypso Beach with a sweet guide ! Angie was so passionate and funny, she provided us all the necessary advises and we enjoy every moment with her company ! The private tour is totally worth it and Angie clearly made this tour captivating!

Cannot rate this day highly enough. Angie was so knowledgable and helpful. When the gorge was closed due to high winds she quickly adapted the day to suit us. Also when my husband left his sunglasses in the car she went out of her way to get them back to us again, enlisting the help of her cousin. Thank you so much!

This private tour was absolutely perfect. We had done a giant group tour just a day earlier and it went pretty badly so it was such a nice relief to see the beauty of Crete on a relaxed and customized pace. Angie was a great guide, so personable, easy to get along with, showed us the prettiest places, and was so great with our daughter, too. The itinerary of this trip is also perfect. The gorge is stunning, the beach is so unique and beautiful, and there is a salt water pool right by the beach that my daughter really loved (and we did, too). The village of Spili was small but also pretty. Angie made the day feel relaxed, never rushed us, let us stay at the different stops without tight deadlines and even recommended a few places in Chania to visit and dine at. Highly recommend Angie and this day trip.

Absolutely incredible day with Angie. She gave us so much insight into the island of Crete and Greek culture. She made the full day for our family amazing. All of the stops were great and well planned out. I would highly recommend booking this excursion if you are in Crete…you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful places and our tour guide experience was like visiting a great friend that knew where to take us and could speak the language.

We’ve taken a lot of tours over the years, but this one was different. Within minutes of meeting Angie, it stopped feeling like a “tour” at all — it felt like we were being shown around by a friend who just happened to know absolutely everything about Crete. She showed up with everything covered: ice-cold bottled water, beach towels, and a generous varieties of Greek and Cretan snacks, so we never had a moment to think about logistics — just enjoy the day. It was a hot one, so Angie smartly started us off at the Kourtaliotiko gorge — the water was freezing, but such a must-do, and we drank straight from the spring. From there she took us to Kalypso Beach to cool off properly, with crystal clear water that was exactly what we needed after the heat and climb front the gorge. Refreshed, we headed to a traditional Cretan restaurant for lunch, where Angie took us to a local restaurant to have gyro and other local dishes , and along the way we got to taste some incredible local olive oil and honey. What we’ll remember most, though, is Angie herself. She’s warm, funny, endlessly knowledgeable, and just easy to be around — the kind of person you feel like you’ve known for years within the first ten minutes. The whole day was full of laughing and talking, and we left already planning how we’d stay in touch. We highly highly recommend Angie!
