Great day out! Michael, our tour guide, was brilliant and knew a lot about the local areas. As it was the national Independence Day of Greece , we had our schedule moved around a little so we were able to experience the parades that were happening - a really lovely consideration for the team to have made! Our pick up was very smooth and the bus journey was a beautiful route that allowed us to see the Cretan scenery. Elounda and Agios Nikolaos are stunning places and definitely worth a visit!! We had a good amount of free time in each place - the best part, jumping off our boat into the sea on our way back from Spinalonga Island! Bucket list check! Highly recommend this day out to everyone!

Everything was super organized from start to finish and it was a lot of fun! The tour guide Elena was well informed, helpful, friendly and always in a good mood! We particularly enjoyed the different stays where we had enough but not too much free time. The boat trip to Spinalonga with a boat that was only for our small group was beautiful. We recommend going all the way to the top of the island if possible and taking a dip in the sea on your return.

Very nice trip. They picked me up in a van very close to my hotel because the streets were very narrow. Recommended!

Very nice sunny day and nice walk. Good visit, well explained. We strongly recommend.

Brilliant day out, lots to see and enough of time to explore each stop.
