PRIVÉTOUR - Knossos Paleis - Wijn + Olijfolie Proeverij - Oude Dorpen

Ed is the kindest, most energetic guide ever! We have toured with him multiple times both with adults and kids. I am amazed at his ability to change his demeanor to appeal to both. We have toured Crete with him 3 times now and each time it’s just a little different but then end result is a magical day that leaves me yearning to come back and visit or maybe even move to this lovely island. HIGHLY recommend!

We were 2 couples and Ed as we traveled to explore Crete. It’s been 2 weeks since we’ve returned and not a day goes by that we comment to each other about how fantastic our day with Ed was. Being a private tour, Ed asked us what we wanted to see and we told him we wanted to avoid the touristy areas and see the real Crete and that’s exactly what he delivered. We stopped and saw Spinalonga and then we headed inland and saw the small villages, drank wine and ate strawberries we picked in Ed’s cousin’s strawberry patch, stopped by a monastery, as well as spectacular views along the way. One of the memories we talk about was an unexpected encounter that we were asked not to expose. All we can say it was the cherry on top of our time with Ed and actually the top memory of our whole week in Crete. Without giving it away, I can say it involved cucumbers, family, wine, cheese and raki. We laughed so much during this that on the video we shot our 5 yr old granddaughter asked why my wife (Mesa) was crying. We were having so much fun and laughing she thought my wife was crying. Ed’s passion for Crete - telling us its history and culture gave us a better sense of the island - and he is extremely passionate about his home. If you can only do one tour in Crete - don’t miss this tour with Ed. I want to also compliment him on his new van we had - very luxurious and his safe driving.

My husband and I had the best tour with Stavros and his company. Dealing with him was a pleasure. He responded immediately to our request and made arrangements for a private tour as well as our transfer to the airport. Mike was the tour guide, so knowledgeable and passionate about what he was doing. Mike made sure that we had the appropriate amount of time for each site that we visited. I would use them again the next time that we visit Greece.
