An Amazing Tour with a Professional and Friendly Guide I recently went on a tour with Leonidas and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with his level of professionalism. He was prompt in responding to all of our queries leading up to the trip and was punctual in picking us up from our apartment. He was warm, friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the stunning beach at Elafonisi – a true gem of the world. All in all, the trip was fantastic and offered at a very reasonable price.

Spectacular Off-Season Adventure We recently took this private tour, and we were thoroughly impressed. Despite visiting during the off-season, we were still able to see the breathtaking beauty of the area. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable with his insights and stories. The Preveli Beach and Kournas Lake were particularly stunning. We’re grateful we took this tour as it was the only option available to us during the winter, and it turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

A day of exploring culture, language and beaches It was an incredible experience spending the day with our tour guide Leonidas. He truly brought the Cretan culture to life for us and taught us some valuable Greek phrases. The highlight of the trip was definitely swimming at the beaches, particularly Falasarna, which had the perfect depth for a refreshing dip. Our driver was extremely cautious on the roads and overall, it was a truly memorable experience.

An Unforgettable Tour Experience in Crete My friend and I had an incredible tour experience with Leonidas. He was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating to our needs. He picked us up from our hotel and was happy to make stops at any viewpoint we wanted. We were constantly in awe of the places and views we saw and wished we could have stayed longer in Crete. Overall, the tour and our guide were amazing and we plan on returning next summer for more. The only downside was that our time in Crete was too short.
