We booked a private tour with “Halepa Rentals” to the Balos Lagoon on Crete on October 1st, 2025, as almost all rental car companies (including ours) prohibit trips with a rental car to the Balos Lagoon because of the unpaved access road with stones and potholes.
Contacting “Halepa Rentals” via Whatts App worked excellently.
All of our requests and questions were planned and answered promptly. The price for the private tour was significantly lower than what we would have paid through booking portals.
We were traveling with our little daughter. She was able to travel very safely and comfortably with our child seat in the "Halepa Rentals" vehicle via ISO-Fix, which was very important for us.
The driver was very courteous and punctual. He also brought a child seat for us, provided cold drinks, took longer for the tour than previously agreed, helped us carry our luggage down to the Balos Lagoon and back up again (which he didn't have to do) and we were able to spend a wonderful day in the best weather at the Balos Lagoon.
We can highly recommend the provider “Halepa Rentals”.
