Great experience with amazing views - Thomas was a very knowledgeable tour guide and answered all of our questions with confidence. He engaged the surroundings with our tour and stopped when we requested. He was considerate to our needs such as bathroom breaks and water. The stops on the tour itself did not disappoint. We would recommend this tour, especially with Thomas as a guide, to anyone!

Worth the price, great day out. - Fantastic day. Fabio, our guide, was knowledge, funny and relaxed. The private boat to Spinalonga is great, missing all the queuing and waiting associated with the large tour trips. A lovely lunch, some spectacular views and interesting places to visit made it a very enjoyable day out. Our lovely Danish comrades in adventure were a bonus.

A bit of history, good lunch and private speedboat - a good day was had by all! - We had a great day out with Rolf. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the places we visited and the surrounding area. The speedboat to Spinalonga was the perfect way to visit the island with great views on the approach and also meant we didn’t have to wait in the long lines to get back on a bigger boat. Lunch at a local restaurant was good quality and our 1st experience of Raki!

Great and relaxing day on Crete - Great tour guide and small group. The visit to Spinalonga was nive as we had speed boat and did not have to wait in the heat. Cretan lunch in the small local tavern was very tasty.

Different from what I expected - The tour wasn't bad it was just different than what I expected. It was a self guided tour on Spinalonga which was disappointing for me because I was interested in the history of the place. We basically got lost looking for spots and eventually gave up and decided to go back to the jeep. The drive to the caves was long, about 1 hr. (again something I didn't expect). It was hot as well. On the positive notes, Thomas was friendly and did his best on the tour. He took us to a nice restaurant, monastery, and an olive oil place which was a pleasant surprise.
