Good experience

Published on May, 2023

The pick up is on time and driver is very professional. Provided history and what to look out for while on the way to the site.

Good but expensive trip compared to a regular taxi

Published on Sep, 2022

The vehicle was on time, the driver was courteous, he waited for us at the end of our visit to Knossos

Not what we expected -in a good way

Published on Apr, 2022

Trip advisor sold us an excursion to places that were all closed due to the Orthodox Easter holiday. Our guide/driver Ilias ( spelling may be wrong), went out of his way to craft an alternative itinerary that really gave us a feel for the heart and soul of the culture, the city, and the way of life. He is very knowledgeable, engaging and kind and managed to make our day extra special. We could not have had a better day.

Knossos Palace was amazing

Published on Sep, 2021
