Highlight of our Greek Isle tour - This tour was the highlight of our entire trip. Kostas was great! Funny, witty and knowledgeable. We had a great time visiting the caves of Zeus, and enjoyed a wonderful authentic Greek lunch..The olive factory was good too and gave us a chance to purchase Some great olive oil products. Kostas was also kind enough to provide us with some treats along the way - real organic honey, small desserts and key chains. We only had 1 day in Heraklion, Crete and with Kostas we were able to maximize our day. I highly recommend this tour!

It was so good, I would do it again. There aren’t enough stars… - This tour was above and beyond expectations. Not only did our guide, Kostas, enlighten us about Greek mythology and history, we were taken to places that highlighted the amazing beauty of Crete. The quaint luncheon spot chosen by our guide was not only scenic, but the best food we had in all of Greece. My family still raves about it! We loved the tour, but more importantly we were thankful to have Kostas as our guide due to several unexpected circumstances. First, Kostas contacted me well in advance of our tour and was accommodating to pick us up early since our ship arrived before the normal time of the tour. He took our group to help rent cars (not part of the tour) and became I could not find my confirmation, he patiently drove around until we finally found our rental place. After our delightful day, Kostas returned us to pick the rental car. It had been hit by another car in the parking lot of the golf course where we had left it. After a long day, Kostas stayed with us to help handle a situation that could have been very difficult when it is not your native country. By the end of the day, we felt we had not only had a great tour, but now we had a great friend.

The Heart, Soul and Mind of Crete - This tour was way beyond our expectations! Kostos was Brilliant in every sense- his knowledge of Crete and insights into ,the history, culture, geology, agriculture , etc transcending anything you could read about. His understanding and passion about Crete and the Cretan people is amazing and fascinating. He embodies the heart, soul and mind of Crete. He is kind, generous, witty, intelligent and a lot of fun! The highlight of our trip to Crete- now a place we would love to return to.

A great adventure ! - You gotta get Kostas ! He is probably the best host/driver/tour guide my wife and I have ever had. Smart, funny, safe, hospitable, sociable, knowledgeable. We can’t say enough good things about him. He was very flexible on the trip too, we could go with the major stops or change it up. And he had plenty of excellent alternatives too. Plenty of water, drinks, snacks. Some from his own family ! My wife left a pair of sneakers in the van(which was like brand new) and he managed to have a cousin of his deliver them to our hotel on another island ! Don’t pass up in this trip. And GET KOSTAS !
