Great tour to visit real Crete - What a great tour we went on today! Friendly, knowledgeable host who really showed us real Crete in all its beauty while keeping the day personal and fun. Comfortable vehicle and great with the children-we have 2 x 11 year old boys who both enjoyed the day. Such a brilliant way to get off resort and find out about local life. Lunch was amazing with lots of home cooked dishes. Can't recommend highly enough and really pleased we chose this tour.
