Excellent day tour and guide. I couldn't come on holiday here without seeing this. - If you are reading these reviews I think you will enjoy this trip. Our guide Babbis, (not sure of spelling sorry) is knowledgeable and thoughtful about the history and humanity of these important events. A mixture of detailed history and personal stories, key events and locations will fascinate however much or little you already know. Enjoyed in the company of like minded travellers. Only one toilet stop early on so be prepared! I like coming to Crete so felt I had to see these places.

An Unforgettable Travel Back In Time - Excellent tour and knowledgeable guide. Visiting the battle sites and receiving insight as to how the battles were decided. Visiting the cemeteries of both the Allied and German forces were very special.
Our guide was extremely patient and passionate about the history and made the entire tour thoroughly memorable and enjoyable. He cannot be thanked enough for his time and dedication.
Highly recommend him and the tour.

A must for military history students - I did the tour because my regiment had a squadron of tanks in Crete during the battle. The tour lived up to all expectations, Yannis, our driver and guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. A very good value for money tour..
