Rethymnon Old Town Private Walking guided Tour in Crete Greece

Rethymno Rating

This tour was a great experience with my family, our guide Nicholas offered a depth of history and behind the scenes information on Rethymno and its rich past. No details were sparred, there was even a moment of impromptu singing with a local musician. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

SAMARIA Gorge Walk: full day from area Heraklion CRETE

Excellent hike

The Samaria gorge hike was a great experience. If you like hiking - do it. The guide - Maritsa, was excellent. The pickup was on time which is also very important.

Another amazing tour with an amazing guide! Virginia is so knowledgeable and friendly, we learned so much! This was my families is my second tour with this company (Filiko tours) and I'm so glad we came back and this time we brought my parents who loved it.
