Great time on Crete with Alex!! - From the beginning of our tour, Alex was amazing!! He is extremely knowledgeable! Our first stop was Rethimno, where we enjoyed the cute shops and the marina. We then enjoyed Greek coffee in the town of Spili, went through a beautiful gorge on our way to the the monastery in Previli. We then toured the town of Argiroupoli, where we enjoyed a delicious Greek lunch. We lastly visited a gorgeous lake (Limni Kourna). We enjoyed our conversations with Alex as we traveled around the island.

Fantastic private tour of Crete! - We had a fantastic day out in Crete on this tour. We did a private tour, and both our guide and our driver were outstanding. We saw beautiful sites, visited multiple towns, and we were even able to visit an olive oil factory that was closed for the season, but opened for us to see their factory and taste/purchase olive oil to take home. Fabulous day!
