Real experiences from real travelers
The private walking tour of Rethymno was the highlight of our trip. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the Venetian history and the baklava workshop was a delicious surprise!
Watching the sunset over the White Mountains was magical. The off-road parts were exciting but felt very safe. The guide's stories about the shepherd huts were fascinating.
Visited a lovely family winery. The olive oil was the best I've ever tasted. Only 4 stars because the bus was 10 minutes late, but the experience made up for it.
The WWII Battle of Crete tour was deeply moving. Seeing the actual airfields and hearing the untold stories from a specialist guide changed how I see the island.
We paddled in West Crete and the water was crystal clear. Snorkeling was great, we saw so many fish. Highly recommend for active travelers!
The semi-private safari to the White Mountains was excellent. The lunch in a traditional village was authentic and delicious. Great value for money.
The CRETAquarium is very well maintained. Perfect for families. The jellyfish display was like a piece of art. Booking online saved us a long wait in the sun.
If you want the best view of Crete, do this. The instructors are professional and the feeling of flying over the coast is incredible.
