Everything was great!😊 - The trip was very nice, interesting and varied. The tour guide on the bus told a lot about the country and people. Mrs. Maria Koktsidou gave us very good, honest and competent advice at the hotel. She was very helpful and friendly. A big compliment to her. We have never had such a helpful lady in a hotel. Everything was GREAT

Great impressions and warm guide - A very interesting and impressive tour where you can get to know many beautiful places and the impressive landscape of Crete in one day. Our tour guide Sonja was very sympathetic and competent. We would also like to highlight our tour guide Maria Koktsidou, who was always at our side with advice and deed and accompanied us like a good friend during our holiday. We will definitely come back!

Crete Holiday Maravel Star and Excursion - Tour was great, tour guide Sonja is local knowledgeable and very personable. If you haven't been to Crete yet, highly recommended. We were able to collect many great impressions overall. Outside the excursion we would like to express our thanks to our guide Maria, who knows the island, loves it and works the job with a dedication and passion that is rarely the case elsewhere! She is a real friend who is always at your side with advice and action, thank you very much for that. Greetings Andi, Rebecca, Jochen und Petra

Very interesting island tour to the south of Crete - This tour was very informative from the tour guide. Above all, we got a lot of details about the island of Crete from our guide. We highly recommend this tour. LG Werner 😉

Between sales tour and photo stops - Were totally disappointed, first stop at a “kiosk” in the middle of nowhere, where half a slice of bread, a cheese stick and a drop of honey were served “for tasting”, which could of course be bought afterwards. Afterwards there were short photo tops and a coffee stop where the advertising drum was beaten again beforehand for a cafe and its cake. We wondered if there was a commission for both stops..... Then we came to lunch after more photo stops. There we had two hours stay in which we could go out for dinner or bathing. Although the beach and the way to it were not described in more detail. We just had time to find a nice tavern and enjoy the delicious very good food, so we had to go again. On the way home through a gorge we were told of beautiful waterfalls which we could not visit anymore because the police monitor the parking time and the path is also still closed. So we stopped somewhere in the gorge for 5 minutes and could look at the circling vultures. We were then also home 45 minutes earlier than stated. All in all disappointing and not recommended.
