This was such a great event. Nikolas was informative and friendly. I loved getting to know him as a tour guide, he offered so much great insight on both the places as well as Greece as a country. The places were so beautiful and truly an amazing experience. I think everyone needs to book this trip who comes to Chania.

Brilliant day! Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we had a really good day when the weather presented some challenges. The facilities at Falassarna beach are a good compliment to the beauty of the beach. Feeding the goats at Balos was a highlight of the trip. Don’t hesitate and book this.
