Dimitris has been a driver/guide for this company since 2019 and his passion, warmth, extraordinary knowledge about the land, people, history, plant and animal life, geography and agriculture comes through every interaction. You know you have a wonderful person when the resident dog(s) of every restaurant, historical site, business, and village come to greet Dimitris when we arrive, all waiting for him to pet them and give them love. That is Dimitris, his passion and love for what he does and for people is evident. Truly a memorable and exceptional experience that we will never forget.
Dear guests I would like to thank you for your kind words about Dimitris and our company's services and at the same time to make it clear for the future customers that all our employees follow the company's strategy, texts and the owners' style. Warm Regards
We wanted to try something a little different than just a regular cruise port/island tour so we chose the olive oil/wine tasting which also included a traditional Cretan lunch. We were a group of 15 Canadians and no question, this tour surpassed everyones expectation. Nasos was our guide, he is very knowledgable and passionate about his product and the tours he provides. Communication is excellent with this company and everything went as described and expected. The lunch was served in a 400+ year old building in the old town and it was delicious. I would not normally ordered these items off a menu so it was really nice to have the opportunity to try them. We had the opportunity to see lots of the island and finished the day in the Old Town. This is an excellent tour, do not hesitate to book this!!
Dear guests from New Brunswick I would like to thank you for your confidence to participate in one of our company's tours and I'm very glad you had a nice experience with my company. It was my pleasure to be a host on a group with excellent sense of humor and it was a lovely day for me as well, because of you. Warm Regards and good luck in your future plans.
Enjoyed the beautiful views, food, and experience. Yiannas was a terrific guide and kept us entertained with history, culture, and facts about Greece. Would definitely recommend,
Dear guests I would like to thank you for your confidence in participating in one of our company's tours and I'm very glad you had a wonderful day with your host/driver, Yiannis. Warm Regards
My mother and I loved our experience. Our tour guide, Nikolas, was polite, knowledgeable, patient, humorous, and so personable. We really enjoyed our time with him, and he made us feel welcomed and comfortable. The wine tasting class, our lunch, and the views were truly special. Something we will not forget. I highly recommend!
Dear guests I'm very glad you had a wonderful experience with our company and Nikolas as your driver/host. It's really important for us, when the guests recognize the personable character in our tours because it is what we offer. I appreciate the kind words and the positive review. Warm Regards
First time experiencing another country, and the time we spent on this tour was worth every cent! Nikolas, the name of our guide, proved to be knowledgeable, funny, and most importantly sincere when speaking to us. We were treated with the utmost respect and were laughing and learning throughout the entire excursion. It was a personal, first hand look into the local culture that you can’t get on your own! Do not miss out on what Crete has to offer in this tour, highly recommend!
Dear guests I'm very glad you liked the tour and our company's services under Nikolas care. Nikolas and all our employees are in training by me and they follow the company's strategy. The tours are offered with the same style, on a personal character. I appreciate you kind words and the positive review. Goof luck in your future plans at North Dakota and congratulations. Warm Regards
Good variety in the day , history, wine and olive oil tasting and off road Dimitri was an excellent guide again
Thank you for one more time. Warm Regards
Dimitrius was a fantastic guide. He taught us so much about the area and was so kind. We had a great day on our tour and would recommend to others.
Dear guests I'm very glad you had a fantastic day with Dimitris. I would like to inform you and the futures customers that all our employees are in training by me and they offer the tour with exactly the same method, style, texts and philosophy. We try to offer personable tours as hosts and less us guides. I appreciate your kind words and the positive review. Warm Regards
The guide is very kind, friendly, and fluent in English. We can feel how much he loves his place through his talks. The places he took us to are all meaningful sites and gave us many interesting information. We could taste very nice olive oil and various wines with some snacks. The restaurant we had a lunch is so nice for both foods and stunning scenery. We enjoyed the view of the White mountain and Samarian gorge. The only missing point is that the tour doesn’t not include olive oils making experience, but it’s not really a big deal compared to other parts. And you should control yourself not to drink wines too much.
Dear guests I'm very glad you liked the tour and our company's services as were offered to you by your driver/host, Nikolas. We don't advertise the olive oil making experience, as probably our competitors do, because all the parts of the tour are unique and you are right. It's not a really big deal and because of that we don't do it! Warm Regards
Our guide, Nicholas, was the best! He made our tour so fun and he was knowledgable and personable. The tour winds you up in a nice vehicle into the white mountains. The wine tasting was so fun and great to learn about the others in our group. We then drive further and end at a restaurant in the Samaria Gorge where the views were breathtaking! We highly recommend this tour.
Thank you
Great tour with a very knowledgeable host. Enjoyed learning about the history of Greece while traversing the mountain to Samaria Gorge, where we were treated to the most delicious (and large) lunch!
Dear guests I'm very glad you found the tour great and I would like to thank you for your positive review and your kind words about our services as were offered to you, by Stavros. Warm Regards
