our guide Yusuf had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and blew our Crete one out of the water.

our guide Omar really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Mid-week so it was quiet, and for our anniversary. Would book again no question.
