My wife and I have experienced over 50 paid tours on our travels and so I believe we have the background to judge value Explore Real Crete is the most professional and enjoyable tour service we have met. The staff is expectational, knowledgeable and enjoyable. They are timely and honest in their communications. The vehicle was comfortable, safe and clean. The company delivered what was promised and constantly worked to exceed expectations. Importantly, if you want to experience Crete outside of the enclosed tourist resorts, these are the people to see. We firmly believe they will deliver just what you’re looking for in a Cretan vacation.

We had a great time with Explore real crete. It was an amazing experience we wouldn’t trade. It was an insightful and fun tour. The private tour allowed us to explore a lot along with Ed, who was lovely. Ed helped us personalise this experience making it truly special. Thank you for it all!

This was the best tour! Stavros was hilarious and kind and super knowledgeable. He worked with our group to provide a private experience they appealed to everyone, including 3 kids. We had to change our itinerary slightly due to road construction but he pivoted so seamlessly we barely knew what was happening. If you’re on the island of Crete, this is a must do!! He went above and beyond.
