Awesome guide Angie! - From first contact, Angie was communicative and friendly. Mt husband and I got picked up by her in a beautiful, comfortable van and immediately felt welcomed and special. She proceeded to tell us our options on places to visit, with no pressure. She is a very good driver and we felt very safe. The tour was fabulous, and anyone could have driven us around, but Angie made the whole trip relaxing, informative, easy to be with the whole day. HIGHLY recommend her company!

Highly Recommend this Excursion!!! - We truly enjoyed our excursion with Angie to Kourtaliotiko Gorge and Kalypso Beach. The scenery was breathtaking, and we even had the chance to stop at an olive farm for olive oil and honey tasting, which was such a special experience. Angie was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to spend the day with. We loved every moment and would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Crete!

Don't hesitate- book it! - This was literally the best tour of our trip! Angie customized everything...certain areas we stayed longer, some shorter. She knew so much about Crete, and we got way more than we would have out of a big group booking. Honestly...if you are on the fence about booking-do it!! Worth every penny. Also, the locations we went to were fabulous! One of our favourite days of our entire 2 week trip!

Amazing experience! - We had the most incredible time with Angie! She is so fun to be around, incredibly knowledgeable about the island, and is a great driver. We went to several great locations. She had water, towels, and a waterproof phone case for us. I would highly recommend Angie’s tour; it was a blast!

Angie's Tour is the Best! - Book this tour with Angie! From the Gorge to the beach to the town, Angie provided us with the best experience all throughout the south of Crete. She was very easy to communicate with and set a meeting point. Angie is a local and knows everyone, so you won't have to wait for much! The beach and gorge were amazing water experiences while the town was an old charm. The lunch spot she took us too was probably the best food I had in Crete, maybe Greece. Angie was a great storyteller about the history of Crete and Greece, and kept us entertained the whole tour. I would book this sooner rather than later, as she usually is booked up weeks/months in advance!

Memorable experiences! - Traveled with my husband and 2 daughters (age 22 and 14). The planned out day was one of the most memorable experiences of visiting Crete. This experience had a well thought out itinerary and we got to really enjoy ourselves at each destination. Having Angie was like traveling with a close friend! It happened to be her birthday and we were fortunate to spend it with her! Hope to be back one day!

Amazing time with Angie & Kalypso tour! - Angie was an excellent guide and share so many fun facts about Chania during our ride. She was so entertaining and taught us so much about Greek culture! Took us to a perfect lunch place after spending time at the beautiful gorge and beach. The risotto, sardines & salad are a must try. Forgot the restaurant name but have to get Angie when @ Chania 😊

If not Angie, nobody else - Angie is the BEST, the BEST to give you a tour of Crete. From beaches to views Angie was able to accommodate us through our time with her. Starting from the gorge she provided us snacks and water, giving us directions where to go and what to expect. We then went to Kalypso Beach to enjoy the water and sun. Also providing us with towels and more if needed. Leaving Kalypso Beach we were able to grab lunch at a local restaurant that fed us an authentic Greek experience. (probably the best meal I had in Crete) We ended the day heading to the village as well as the honey and olive oil tasting. At the village Angie was able to explain everything and let us know all about the attractions and the different taste of honey and olive oil. We were super satisfied with the overall experience and she felt like family at the end of it. All in all, if you want a great experience GO WITH ANGIE
