Marvelous day with Maria!! - Maria is a gem! Her van is large and comfortable. The ramp works perfectly for wheelchairs or mobility scooters. She had water, soft drinks and snacks, including some wonderful homemade goodies her mom made.
We toured around the old port a bit and learned some history. We were there on a market day. It was amazing! Cheese, vegetables , fruits, flowers, honey, olives and olive oil. It was amazing.
We visited the old church in the city center, and that was interesting.
Next week drove up into the mountains and threw picturesque villages and stopped at a family run olive oil distillery. We learned the process from harvesting the olives through packaging. It was very interesting and we had a fine time. We were allowed to sample lots of great olive oil oils as well as some honey And a liquor.
We next went to a winery and we treated to a Five wine tasting for I believe €15 each and then we ordered a lovely lunch. Everything was homemade and one of the chefs came out to near where we were sitting to pick some fresh mint for one of the dishes she was preparing.
Everyone we encountered on our tour was very kind and made sure that we felt comfortable and had any questions answered, and we learned a lot.
Maria is her own operator and is self-employed, and is a delightful young woman. She has been operating her business since 2019 and you can see how caring she is. She is highly responsive regarding any questions and made excellent suggestions to us on how to fill our day based on our preferences.

Chania and Crete with Maria! Yea! - Our group of 6 adults spent a delightful day with Maria! We did a walking tour of old Chania then drove around the Island of Crete. Maria took us to some very special lookout points, a fun winery and a great place for lunch! We used Imable Tours instead of the shore excursions provided by the ship and certainly know we made the right decision. Thanks, Maria!

The wonderful experience got me fall in love with Crete❤️ - We had such a wonderful and enjoyable time with Maria!
She had super great suggestions for how the trip best fit our demands, recommended a beautiful beach for going into the ocean and seeing the sunset, and showed us around a cave with local history where you will probably miss it if not introduced by local people.
The car was very comfortable; Maria made us feel at ease and at home by preparing food and drinks! She also shared with us lots of Greek myths, and answered all our questions patiently and surely professionally.
We could really feel by heart how she loves and devotes to giving us a great trip! It has been such a pleasure that we’d recommend it to our friends. When we have a chance to come back to Crete, we’d definitely go out with IMable again!
Thank you and all the best!💙

Great first trip to Crete - My wife and I were part of a group of 28 that had the pleasure to be with Maria for part of 3 days, April 26 thru 28. She made our first trip to Crete easy and enjoyable. We did a tour of Heraklion, a trip to Chania, a visit to Palace of Knossos and a trip to the Heraklion Archeological Museum. The treats that she provided after each event were a welcome surprise. We had the opportunity to sit and talk to Maria during our last dinner. She was interesting to talk to and shared much about the life on Crete. She really gave the trip a personal touch. I highly recommend this company.
