Kostas was an amazing guide and driver extremely knowledgeable and professional. We loved our stops with the Zeus Caves being our favorite. Kostas had special treats and shared experiences throughout our tour. We highly recommend Kostas.

Kostas was such fun tour guide! Make sure to bring your sense of humor. He is also so caring & thoughtful. He goes out of his way to make sure that you get the most experience in your tour. He has connections with the locals & make things happen. We’re so bummed to find that the Olive factory was closing for the day, Kostas used his charm & persuaded them to give us the tour & he performed his ‘how to drink Olive the right way’ performance for us???? He’s also very organized, he came prepared with packaged of snacks that he treated us with at each stops. Each of those snacks represented authentic Greek foods & some of them were prepared by his mom & crops from their own farm…how thoughtful!
We had three young adults & two adults but I think any age group would have a great time with Kostas.

An absolutely brilliant tour with Kostas! If you want a trip anywhere in Crete, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Kostas sorted a fantastic itinerary - based exactly on the sort of tour we wanted. This included some great historical sites, a boat trip, and the best off-the-beaten-track coastal village for lunch and a swim you could ever imagine ???? He’s exceptionally knowledgable about all things Crete and ancient history too (if you want him to be!) Clearly knows the island inside out.
Really great full day out for us and for the kids. Kostas’s vehicle is superb -absolutely top-end and really comfortable with loads of room. Great communication beforehand - we booked at really short notice when we were already in Crete - but he sorted everything very quickly and very easily. Tailors everything to what you want. Top stuff ????????
