Our tour guide Mihail Kalinkov was FUNomenal! He was simply amazing, knowledgeable, smart, he knows like 6 languages. He was so fun and related in some way to each of my family members (3 generations). He customized the tour to what we liked. He planned everything out perfectly and even made sure we saw the turtles on the lake. He knew the families in the villages and told us some of their history. We all had such a great time.

Leuke en gezellige tour. Je ziet veel en genoeg tijd om de dorpen en omgevingen te ontdekken. Leuke gids die alles goed vertelde. Minpuntje; de bus zat vol, waardoor de tour erg druk was. Voor de prijs die je betaald, had er naar onze mening een kleine lunch bij gemogen. Verder was alles prima geregeld. Stipt met ophalen en terugbrengen. Nette bus en goede chauffeur.

Programma was gewijzigd, dat was voor ons geen bewaar aangezien we nog niet in Chania waren geweest. Sympathieke reisleidster Marianne en een chauffeur die z'n vak verstaat en de kolos van een bus door de nauwste doorgangen loodste. Veel gezien en gedaan. Het was een heerlijk dagje!
