Very good tours & guides provided and accommodation was good.

Everything was well coordinated. Dimitri, the coordinator, was always reachable. He answered all our questions and planned the transfers from and to the airport at times suitable to our plans. The hotel was quiet but close to the water. No detail was left untied. We had a great time!!!

Crete is a very nice place. I recommend going and visiting albeit not in July/August - it is extremely hot. The tour itself was well organized. the three day trips that actually happened were pretty good, especially the safari.The guides were helpful and knowledgeable.
Excellent
All my expectations were met. The hotel was good, the food however was not and bad mosquito problem. I enjoyed being in Hersonissos and a nice walk to the seaside restaurants of which there are many. All the day trips were interesting although long hours on the bus having to pick up people at their beach resorts. Crete is a big island so there was much ground to cover.
Excellent
All 4 excursions were very intensive, informative, well planned. My two room apartment at the Bells Vista hotel was nice.�
