Tuvimos un dia maravilloso en Creta , no pudimos encontrar tour en español pero Kostas nos salvó el dia, fue por nosotros y nos llevó a conocer Heraklión, y los lugares mas importantes, nos dió recomendaciones para visitar y donde comer delicioso, hasta nos llevó miel que hacen en su casa y unos dulces buenísimos. Muy recomendado! El da servicio de traslados en privado, pero no da los tours en los lugares, sin embargo te va explicando la historia y las costumbres de la ciudad.

The Island of Crete is great!
Angie was is an amazing guide. Very informative about the island of Crete as well as the Greek myths and legends. Along with Costa, they both made the tour enjoyable. The Museum was fun...lots of pottery. The ruins of Knosos were ok but definitely not for the summer heat as it's very open. The Greek Mythology Thermatic Park was the highlight for both my 17 and 9 year old. Nico was amazing making time to do some pottery with my daughter.
Angie knows all the good spots and not having to wait around for other people made the long tour enjoyable.
