I had a wonderful tour with Unique Crete VIP Tours! From the prompt collection to the comfortable vehicle, everything was well-organized and on point. The highlight, however, was having Marinos as a guide, friendly and knowledgeable; he gave me a insightful glimpse into Crete. From olive harvesting to weddings, he covered it all and even played some examples of traditional music during the drive. His enthusiasm and knowledge were truly appreciated, and I felt I got a much better insight into the local culture than I had all week.
The trip was well-balanced with interesting stops and a delicious lunch and Marinos made sure I had a wonderful time despite the weather. All in all, it was an excellent day trip that was very well organised. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone visiting Crete.
