Very very nice - We selected Creta Maze as we read the 5 star reviews and we decided to get the advise on spot for a tailor made tour. The driver was very kind, spotless and knowledgable of the area as he is local. We explored Lassithi plateau and had a full day of exploration which we very much enjoyed!
