We went on the tour from Chania to Samaria Gorge with io Tours. Everything ran like clockwork and our guide Martha was lovely. The feeling of the tour was very unpressured, all information was shared upfront and we never felt part of large tour group at any point. I would use io Tours again.
Kudos to the best tour guide Dimitri and fantastic and experienced driver George. What a fantastic team. We were fortunate to have a knowledgeable and humorous tour guide, who explained in depth the history of Crete. He was so interesting, that we didn’t want the tour to end.
Well organised tour, the driver Jacovas did really well navigating the winding roads and tunnel. Dimitris gave good commentary about history of the area and the plants in the region. A windy day at the beach but such is nature. Will book with this tour again.
This was the best tour my wife and I went on in Greece! We stayed in Chania and wanted to visit Elafonissi beach. We were so happy to have had Dimitri giving our tour; a funny, knowledgeable guide who is very wise! Thank you also to our amazing driver Giourgo as well!
