A fabulous tour of Crete’s highlights

We had a fabulous time with Kostas. Even if the weather was somewhat less than great he kept us both entertained and informed throughout the trip. In particular, his knowledge if the ancient world and desire to spark original thoughts really kept us on our toes! We loved the little extras Kostas brought to the trip - from a visit to an olive oil factory to the honey from his family. We can thoroughly recommend this trip!

An experience not to be missed.

We had a great day. If you don't want to go wrong and are looking for the best, Kostas is the one for you. The tour is shaped on your requests and in addition Kostas will propose you some additional special stops. Kostas is very punctual and helpful, an excellent driver and his van very comfortable. Very good with children. He will pamper you with produce from his parents' farm. You will judge if the price is adequate: in our opinion it is! Good luck Kostas.

Kostas will exceed your expectations!

First Class all the way. Luxury VIP vehicle is an understatement. For the price I had high expectations. Kostas exceeded all my expectations. Knowledgeable! Pround of his company! Proud of his country. Proud to show it to you. We asked for a personal tour of the Museum and he recommended the tour guide, set it up and assured me he only works with the best. She was the best! We had 4 personal tours scheduled throughout Greece, she was exactly what Kostas promised...the best! His stated goal at the beginning was to make sure we had fun. We did!

Must Use Kostas

If you want the full meal deal you need to use this company. Kostas was very informative and very knowledgeable about the tour. The van was awesome. I’m talking first class transportation. Kostas had so many extra things to try food wise and snack wise that was part of it. Most his mother had made which was a special touch. If you want VIP treatment use this company.

Priceless experience

I had always wanted to visit the island where my grandfather was born but had never seen and since we made it, despite the nightmare of the pandemic, the only thing left was to find a tour that would show us as much of the island as possible. The only way to describe our choice is that we hit the Jackpot. Costas took us on an incredible tour but our luck didn't end there. He offered to take us to a beach called holy gorge the next day which when we googled we yelled YESSS. He took us there in his pickup truck because the road is horrible the last few miles. The road stops right before the entrance of the gorge which we had to trek in order to get to the beach. The trekking took 20 minutes more or less and it was super easy. Once we reached the beach we were in awe. We stayed there that long that we had to use the flashlights on our phones to trek back. We would have paid any amount Costas had asked for that experience but he refused to accept any even for fuel. He called it repatriation gift. Honest hospitality at its very best.
