Amazing Tour! Great food, sights and awesome guides. We had an awesome time. We were a large group, but easily accommodated by Crete With Us. The atmosphere was amazing, the weather was perfect, and the sights were beautiful.

The company was recommended to us by a friend, and now I can see why! It was certainly one of the highlights of our vacation. The guide was very friendly, experienced, and professional which made it a real treat.
