Donna | Traveled in October
Christoff was wonderful. Very patient with 70+ year old people. We had a fabulous time. Crete was my favorite Greek island. Please remind him to work on introducing a dirty martini to Greece!!!!😊♥️🍸

Bottom line: We loved the gorgeous hikes to remote parts of Crete that many travelers miss. Our two Greek guides helped us experience and learn about their beautiful and unique country. It was a special, unforgettable trip.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
Missed out on hiking the Samaritan Gorge, it was closed on our scheduled date. No attempt was made to switch other scheduled walks around. Tour leader was careful and supportive, this led to our hikes being paced at the slowest walker’s speed. Ordinarily, this is a good thing, however, this proved dangerous on one hike where a number of walkers suffered from the effects of the heat.
Diane | Traveled in October
It should be trecking in Crete not walking. The terrain is very rocky and can be very difficult for people who are expecting more of a dirt trail. Most people on our trip were over 70 and the first hike was so difficult they never tried the other hikes offered.
