I have no words to explain our fabulous day in Crete with Angie!! She was AMAZING! She is the owner and operator of the tour. We expected a lot and it was so much more! If you are visiting Crete, she needs to be your guide. She is the best! We are already trying to figure out how to get back here next year and have her tour us for days!

We were a group of tourists hoping to at least get a hint of “real” Crete. Angie delivered and more so. The trip included the olive oil tour (fantastic - who knew lemons make everything better?), wine tasting at local event venue, and a trip to Lake Kournas. But Angie really goes above and beyond. Party of eight too big for her meticulously clean van? No problem, she has a second vehicle and communication system (subject to Cretan wireless capabilities) ready for you. Want to stay a bit longer at the wine tasting? No problem, she is on your schedule. Feeling a little snacky and thirsty after that drive to the lake? Angie has you covered with a local treat that you might have seen before but not yet tasted. Turns out your part really likes the local cuisine at the next stop? Well she probably knows how to hook you up with a special tasting. And might even be able to swing a reservation at that restaurant you were considering but hadn’t booked yet.
Truly amazing guide. If it’s in your budget, it’s worth every penny.

The owner/operator Angie is fantastic. She picked us up from our vila right on time in a sparkling clean Mercedes van. We had more guests than she could fit in the van (8) so another car with a driver was provided. As we headed to the olive oil producer she called over to the other car so that they could listen to Angie’s fun facts and history about Crete. The 6 the generation olive oil producer gave us a tour followed by a tasting. Next stop, a wine tasting and light lunch at a vineyard. Last stop a swim in a crystal clear fresh water lake with kayaks and paddle boards available to rent. We could have easily researched these stops and driven ourselves, but it was so worth hiring a guide. We learned so much more about Crete, and once we arrived at each spot, we had vip treatment (and no hassle looking for parking). We liked it so much that we hired Angie for a second day to take us to the village of Spila in the mountains for a coffee, then a beach on the south coast and finished with a waterfall in a gorge.
