Informative, fun, and entertaining ways to explore greater Chania - After reviewing multiple tour options in Chania, I selected CarVentures because they offered tours that included combinations of sites not available in the others. Within minutes of scheduling a tour for the next day, I received instructions from Maria on where to meet and the next day Robert was there right on time to start our first adventure. His friendly demeanor became quite evident and he chatted with the three of us on the tour as we drove to our destinations. He conveyed an amazing amount of information throughout the day and I felt I had seen quite a bit of the area in a single half-day tour. That night I decided I wanted to see a specific site but again I couldn’t find any tours that appealed to me. I reached out to Roger on the off chance he could do a custom tour and he responded almost immediately that he could. We discussed the details and costs and were on the road the next day. We had some great conversation on the 4-5 hour drive and he was also able to customize the tour en route so I was able to see even more of the greater Chania area than I anticipated! I came away from the two days quite satisfied that I had seen almost as much of this area that’s possible this time of year! I will happily use CarVentures on my next return to Crete as they offer unique tours as well as custom offerings! Thank you Robert and Maria!
