Chania is one of those must visit places. The five hours was plenty of time to take in the main sites, visit the Maritime Museum and find lunch. This is a great excursion for shopping and souvenir buying, particularly if you are looking for more variety. They provide a little map of the main sites and streets which is useful. All very efficient in pick ups and drop offs.

Herrliches Städtchen zum Stöbern, Schlendern und verweilen. Wer also nicht mit einer Gruppe die Sehenswürdigkeiten abklappern möchte, sondern die wunderschönen kleinen Gassen selbst erkunden , hat hier die perfekte Gelegenheit. Mit der Abholung hat alles super geklappt. Kann ich weiter empfehlen.

Pünktliche Abholung, nette Reiseleitung im Bus, 5-stündiger Aufenthalt vollkommen ausreichend um die Stadt zu erkunden. Ursprünglich War der Ausflug mit dem öffentlichen Bus geplant. Da wir mit diesem Tage zuvor schon negative Erfahrungen gemacht haben, waren wir froh, uns dann doch für diese Tour entschieden zu haben.
