Adonius met us 15 minutes before the scheduled show time. The van was clean, spacious for six adults, and very comfortable for the ride to Knossos (2 hours away). The archaeologist, Irene, who was contracted as our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer technical questions at both the Palace and Museum. We had a brief snack in Heraklion in the Venician Quarter before we returned. We were back at the dock slightly ahead of the eight hours contracted & were able to have dinner on our ship. FAR BETTER THAN A CRUISE EXCURSION, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Less expensive, more comfortable and a better guide

Discover the seaside village of Elounda and walk amongst history on the island of Spinalonga. Finishing our touring on this much afflicted place, we head for the small bay of Kolokitha. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches on Crete. It is a remote beach with white sand and deep blue serene water, side by side with old olive groves. There we can swim and taste the delicious BBQ served on the boat. After our short respite, we go back to Elounda. Then we move to the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos, where we have our last stop. We have the chance to enjoy our coffee getting a perfect view of the magnificent lake, do our shopping in the traditional local shops and relax for a while before we hit the road for our going back.

A really nice experience, well organised and planned. Ingrid was super helpful amd gave us a lot of good information on the way. The trip took us through some traditional Cretan villages and as a nice bonus, we also stopped at the cave of Agia Sofia on the way back - good stop for those with an interest in local myths and good views! The beach itself was beautiful, there was ample time to spend - at least 4 hours. Also, as a side note: the tour company was very quick to answer my questions amd reassure my concerns. Thank you, guys, for a really nice experience in Crete!

We took the tour on a hunch and did not regret it. Costas made the tour feel like a day trip with old friends . His knowledge of the local history and culture is amazing all wrapped in a natural sense of humour. The locations selected very carefully to reflect the best this place has to offer and the vehicle was comfortable and spotless The highlight was the homemade raki and honey. we can't recommend the service enough .

We rented a car from that agency. The guy at the desk was very friendly and helpful. The price for the car was fair, so there is nothing to complain at all. Everything was smooth and easy. If you stay in that area, I recommend to rent the car or book a trip with Status MLB.

Our vacation in Greece after staying in Athens for 2 days included Santorini and Crete. While we were in Santorini we met a couple (Chris and Heather) that had just left Crete and the first thing they told us was that we had to meet Kostas if we were planning on going on a tour. They gave us his number and when we got there we went on the Knossos - Lasithi tour of his. First of all, he spoke great English which made his storytelling even more enjoyable. Then the places we visited were amazing. My favourite part was the hike uphill to the cave. After Knossos (the last stop of our tour) Kostas took us to an amazing traditional restaurant which was the cherry on top of a great day.
