Well organized excursion - Interesting history and knowledgeable local tour guide. Well organized pickup from our hotel Mikripoli Atlantica in Makry-gialos. Nice guide who was on the bus. A little bit about free time at Spinalonga.

A good mix of history and pleasure! - An overall enjoyable day out. Booking and pick-up were seamless and the bus arrived at our hotel exactly on time. Tour guides were professional and informative; our tour was in English. Spinalonga and it’s history were fascinating; our guide was quite passionate in her recount of the plight of the lepers on the island. Could have spent more time at Elounda and Agios Nikolaus. A bit rushed for a swim and a meal, never mind shopping! Down side: we were not warned that we would have to pay additional entry to Spinalonga. Only a few euros, not expensive, but ticket lines were chaotic. Also no working toilet on the 1 hour plus ride and no opportunity for a toilet stop until we were on the boat.
