Perfect for history lovers - Alexander was an amazingly knowledgeable and hospitable tour guide. As history lovers, he brought us into the details of Cretan past, as well as present, and answered all of our questions with humor and detail. Our tours were led by a retired professor who captivated us with the stories and details that we never would have learned if on our own. It was definitely a five star experience and a memory of a lifetime. Thank you!

History Tour of Crete - Great way to understand the history of Crete. The guides were knowledgeable and we learned a lot both while driving through Crete and at the palace ruins and museum. It was a great way to start off the trip and learn about the area. Our guides were friendly and shared many facts. We also had a delicious lunch at a recommended restaurant. And it was nice to avoid the hassle of driving while on vacation. Would recommend as Knossos is a must see and it can be challenging to get to if you are not staying near by.
