Touring with Kostas was a wonderful experience in many ways. He was very knowledgeable about differrent areas on the island, and was flexible about visiting sights that we preferred to see. We visited some beautiful towns and villages, and enjoyed lunch at a lovely hilltop restaurant with amazing views. Additionally, Kostas has a superior command of the English language, the importance of which cannot be underestimated. We strongly recommend this tour operator!

Stegakis Grand Prestige is a first class experience! My wife and I were visiting Crete for the first time on a cruise ship so we knew hiring a private driver was the best way to see the sights we wanted to see during our limited time in port. Kostas was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and flexible and helped us curate a dream itinerary. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and comfortable vehicle, Kosta’s stories and the little surprises he offered around every turn, including a sample of his family’s “In-Crete-Ble” honey, which was the best we’ve ever tasted. It is evident that he takes great pride in his work and in delighting his clients. Our time with him was one of the highlights of our trip. We look forward to visiting Crete again for another tour with Stegakis Grand Prestige!

Kostas provided our group of 13 an incredible guest experience from start to end! We were coming off the cruise ship spending the day in Crete. Kostas’ passion for Crete, its history, food, culture, and people was evident in how he orchestrated the tour! He was attentive to our needs & even accommodated our request to add a stop to an Olive Oil factory. Kostas was punctual for our 8am pick-up time and return to ship. His driver navigated the winding roads safely in a manner respecting the comfort of his passengers. Overall the tour was informative, passionate, friendly, funny, and insightful. There were also a couple of nice surprises along the way! It was certainly a highlight of our entire trip to Greece! Thank you Kostas!
