The guide was super informative and very helpful! It’s a very big bus, but sitting on the upper level we had a great view.

Isabella – Austria

Great trip to nice villages by the sea. Our guide Elisabeth told us a lot about the history of Crete and the towns we visited. We first drove to Chania, then Lake Kournas and then Rethymno. The time for each stop was plenty and it was a great day trip. Transportation, organization etc was great!
