Nice tour of Crete! Tour guide and drive very fun and informative! Able to try authentic Cretian food. Due to coming in winter time we were able to see some sites which we might not have seen if went in summer time!

Overall tour was very informative, surprise we had a tour guide included who was quite lovely and had a lot of knowledge, and we covered a lot of the rural surroundings with great views and small villages. We then finished in Rethymno which is a very scenic and idyllic city.
Van we were in seemed a bit more for commercial usage versus passenger comfort so to us also seemed a bit too much on driving and in van versus stopping and walking more. Kind of a bumpy ride so buckle up.

The walk through Rethymno was very interesting. The walk down to the gorge was beautiful and windy. Monestary was interesting and partial walk down to beach was a great photo op.
