Reviews: Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave,Villages, Olive Oil Tour
Guest User2024-10-12
We had a beautiful day with Nico - he was a fantastic guide and beautiful person. The cave of Zeus was closed so Nico improvised- he knows so many people in the mountains - so he was able to take us to a local family who makes fresh goat yogurt- that we were able to sample. He took us to a lovely mountain top restaurant , sampled the fresh produce of the mountains and great history lesson of Crete. The palace of Knossos was incredible to see and experience. Nico made the day incredible and special for us.

From the organization to the tour itself, it was simply perfect. A tour in the desired language (here: German) with insights into the culture, landscape, and the must-see, hidden, and typical spots of Crete. Our outstanding guide, Thomas, was always entertaining and informative. It was fun, the food was top-notch, and we highly recommend it. Thank you, Thomas. We would book another tour with you anytime. Stay the way you are! Thanks, says Doreen from Magdeburg.

Reviews: Private Tour Knossos Palace-Archaeological Museum-Heraklion Town

This is a wonderful tour. George our driver was very professional and Sophia our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable. There is no way we would have learned as much on our own at these sites. The only caution is make sure you understand the port you are traveling into for how long the tour will be. We docked in Chania so it was a two hour drive to get to the other side of the island. That was my oversight. If you dock in Heraklion, you are 10 minutes away. A tour worth taking
Reviews: Day Trip to Agios Nikolaos and Spinalonga Island
Guest User2024-10-06
We done this trip on 3rd October with Altino Travel Services. A short journey from Hersonissos to our first stop at the coastal city of Agios Nikolaos. We visited a few souvenir shops on route to view the lake from above. Then walked down to the harbour and finished off with the statue of Zeus. AN is much less touristy than Heraklion and Chania and a real treasure. Then a short drive up to the small village of Elounda for some lunch before the boat journey over to Spinalonga Island. Our Lady Guide (didn't get her name) was fantastic, gave great insight to the places visited and the Island of Crete in general. She spoke perfect English and French and was great fun. Spinalonga Island is a must visit for those interested in culture and history. We first done the boat around the island then disembarked for 1.5 hours to explore. You can easily walk around the base of the island in a hour. It is a little bit hilly in places but nothing too difficult. For those who want to see the upper part of the island and take in the best views you need to take a lot of steps or slopes so need to be quite fit. On the way back to Elounda, some of the group were able to take a swim around the boat in the shallow and clear waters. We then headed back late afternoon. The trip was around 9 hours overall and great value.
