Great day! - One of the highlights of our trip, Angie and her dad were awesome! Everything from start to finish was amazing. The gorge was well worth the cold water and so is the beach!

- While the tour itself was amazing, Angie was the true highlight. She was family from our first greeting and she brought so much warmth, history, stories, and then genuine interest in our family and our lives. She brought little snacks, waters, towels, bags—it was truly like touring with your favorite cousin that always comes prepared. I can’t recommend Angie or this tour enough.

Great Excursion, would really recommend. - Angie was our tour guide. She was amazing. She had a warm, bubbly personality that made the day really fun. Crete is a beautiful island and we got a chance to try some local snacks, visit an old village, see the gorge (it was too windy to swim in it), ended up at their lake to swim, ate a local Cretan lunch (Angie helped make great recommendation on what food to order). The vehicle was very comfortable and was able to accommodate my tall family. It was one of my family's favorite activities to do while on our 13 day European vacation.

Full day Crete private tour - It was an incredible day spent in Crete! Angie was such a fun and fantastic guide and we saw some amazing places on this beautiful island. We learned about the history while also enjoying some of the highlights - a swim in a beautiful natural spring waterfall at the base of a gorge, visiting the beautiful Kalypso beach, a delicious sea-side lunch that was the best gyro I’ve ever tasted, and then olive oli factory and winery tours/tasting! It’s amazing we fit it all in, in one day, but it never felt rushed! I would highly recommend this tour and Angie is literally one of the best! My whole family loved the day spent with her! We miss her/Crete already!

An Authentic and Amazing Experience! - I booked this experience for my family of 9 adult children. After reading all the reviews, we had high expectations and Angie exceeded them! Of course the scenery, the stops, the experiences, and lunch were amazing, but what differentiates Angie is her authenticity, ability to connect with people, love of her island, and attention to details. We felt so cared for every step of the way. The snacks after every stop hit the spot and she kept us well hydrated! In a short period of time she feels like a friend and truly met our family’s needs. Everything about this experience was a delightful surprise!

Amazing day trip! - If I could give Angie more stars I would! She was amazing! The excursion was amazing! It was really windy so she gave us the option to visit Kournas Lake if the Gorge was too dangerous for my young daughter, and it was. She took her time and explained everything to us as we drove. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the island. Thank you Angie for the most amazing day!!!!

Cretan necessity!!!! - You MUST book this excursion. Angie is a spectacular guide. She’s a wealth of facts about the island and so friendly and personable. You will instantly fall in love with her. She curated such a special itinerary and was able to quickly bring us to another fabulous stop despite one of the beaches being closed due to the wind. She has a real passion for the island and ensuring each client has a memorable experience. Safety is also a priority for her. Please please please book a day with her. You will not regret it.
