Gustavo was very easy to work with from the beginning when we were trying to come up with ideas for our holiday to Greece. He was able to accommodate a variety of changes to our itinerary when we were first were organising and was easy to contact via the site. His suggestions for accommodation were amazing!! Leah was also easy to work with and able to assist whilst we were away and quick to respond.

Our favorite excursion was the day trip to Balos Lagoon and Falassarna Beach, which was suggested by Gustavo.

Thankyou!!

San Salvatore Monastery
Chania

The location and uniqueness of this accomodation is amazing! We loved staying here. The breakfast provided was incredible and the beauty on the deck, amazing! So close to walk to the many restaurants and harbor. Only negative was the air conditioning being quite loud. Good set up for our family.

City Lion
Heraklion Crete

This apartment was in a very convenient location in Heraklion. It was quiet, there was a small kitchenette to use. Was comfortably able to accommodate our two children (one on the sofa and the other on a trundle bed type arrangement). The main bedroom was upstairs with a balcony and small view. The staff were so lovely! You can also order take out from a nearby restaurant that delivers to the room. No meals included in the stay, but this isnt a problem as it is so close to everything.

Aqua Luxury Suites Santorini
Imerovigli

This is a lovely place to stay in Santorini. The staff here were very friendly. Breakfast was lovely and can be served in your room or in the restaurant which has an amazing view. We were in the cave suite which easily accommodated our family of two adults two kids. Just remember - sofa bed, is literally sheets on a sofa. Only disapointment is that with this room - you don't get a view from your room or a plunge pool - so just check which room when looking at the photos!

Our family loved this day trip! our guide was Vasili, he was very knowledgeable, great with the kids, took us to great spots for photos and was very friendly. Lunch was amazing. Good to experience having your own deck chairs/umbrella already arranged as part of the tour. Highly recommend.

Private Visit to Zeus Cave & Lasithi Plateau
Private Visit to Zeus Cave & Lasithi Plateau
Greece

This trip was a real let down and we would not recommend. We knew that Zeus cave was closed (undergoing repair) when we booked, but decided to go with this day trip to see more of Crete. I suspect the whole thing was a little dodgy - we didnt get a tour guide, we had a man who was very nice, but admitted he had never been to some of the places before and just followed the points in the itinerary. He was not able to tell us about anywhere we went. Definately dont need to go and see the village that was under the dam - it does NOT match the description provided..

Quality of Experience
This trip was not what was described
Food
Food was great and was included, taken to a restaurant from a long time local in a small village. This was probably the highlight of the tour.

we didnt get a guide. Rather someone that was driving us to the points provided to them on an itinerary, some of which they had never been to themselves previously.

Knossos Palace Experience
Knossos Palace Experience
Greece

Our tour at Knossos Palace was great and was with a very knowledgeable guide. She was able to provide us with all the details of the palace. It was quite a quick trip to the palace and might have been good to have a little longer but because we had the pick up/drop off included time was limited. Having said that, having this arranged certainly made life easier as it looked a little crazy for those trying to arrange transport themselves.

Private Island Villages & Akrotiri Day Trip
Private Island Villages & Akrotiri Day Trip
Santorini

We had a lovely guide Sakis, who was able to accommodate our requests for the itinerary - we had independently booked tickets to the cultural symposium in Megalochori which we were able to attend first as part of the time. We had been to Oia and Pyrgos the day previously so we adjusted the itinerary. He took us to see the windmills with our extra time. Worth going to Akrotiri also. Lunch was not included in this day trip.

Sunset Caldera Catamaran Cruise
Sunset Caldera Catamaran Cruise
Santorini

This cruise was definately worth doing. All members of our family enjoyed. Lovely views, ability to swim and snorkel and great lunch provided. Guides also provide some local information of sites seen. Can be quite a long trip - travelling in July means that sunset isnt until 9pm - but you stay out on the water until you have seen the sunset which is amazing.
