Our adventure in Crete, with George our guide leading the way - We had an amazing time in Crete and on this tour. George was such an awesome person and guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history and island. We saw many things and enjoyed them all. From the cave of Zeus to the olive oil factory. One part that was fun and interesting was going to a small village to have coffee and to visit a two thousand year of oil tree. We also visited the Minoan ruins and he found us a great guide to explain what we saw. We went to a great restaurant where we had moussaka and lamb shank that was to die for. Can say enough about George. He is a very friendly person and very funny. We all enjoy a few good rounds of Raki and he made our stay memorable. I recommend taking this tour and definitely having George host it. Thanks again my friend, you gave us a memory we will never forget. Regards, Chris Conti and family

A nice Tour! - We had a wonderful tour of the Palace of Knossos, the Cave of Zeus and the Lasithi Plateau, where we ate the most delicious local food. Excellent tour, in the presence of an experienced guide, with his comfortable vehicle, everything was well organized. The highlight, however, was having George as a guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, he helped us discover the beauty of the place. I love this turist guide, amazing this tour. It s a day very fun, the guide was fantastic.

Outstanding service - So glad I chose Sun Sud tours for my trips on the amazing island of Crete with whom I got to experience the authentic Greece. On my first trip I visited Zeus cave, Knossos Palace, the windmills & taste the most delicious food. George, the driver & guide was very professional, informative & friendly. Great value, I highly recommend this service.
