BOOK THIS NOW!!! - This was by far the best experience we had in Greece! From start to finish, the tour exceeded our expectations. Balos was unbelievably beautiful, and Falasarna was a hidden gem frequented by locals. We also lunched at Gramvousa restaurant, where we enjoyed the best food of our trip. Don’t hesitate to book this tour; we initially considered renting a car and going on our own, but seeing the road made us grateful to have an experienced driver with us.

Pleasant day out to Balos and Falassarna - Pleasant way to make this trip by car and get personal tips and advice. The driver drove very calmly and safely along the winding roads.
Nice arrangement where we got to influence the choice of lunch restaurant ourselves.

Beautiful Crete - Mr. Sakis drove us safely and was accommodating to our needs, making recommendations for the trip. Falassarna and Balos are beautiful sight-seeing spots, worth the long drive. We stopped at Gramboussa Restaurant with tasty local food and nice ambiance. Mr. Sakis was flexible and showed us old Rethymno on our way back. Thank you!

Amazing experience! - This was an incredible tour—well worth the money! The driver was very kind and accommodated our requests, such as picking us up from our Airbnb in Agia Marina, stopping for snacks, and grabbing lunch. Balos Beach is stunning and looks exactly like the pictures. Falassarna was beautiful as well—it was more of a family beach and not crowded (on a Monday). There is a place to get bar food and also a restaurant. The water was crystal clear with no rocks! I highly recommend this tour.
