I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Alexander. He should up and picked us up at our hotel right on time. He is a very nice and extremely knowledgeable about Crete. We chose not to do the touristy places on our agenda and instead let Alexander show us the real Crete. What a wonderful decision. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and now feel a bit more educated on Crete, Cretans and the history of Crete and Greece . He even took us to a wonderful place for lunch where we got to enjoy the best lamb and potatoes I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and avoid the crowds of people and go on a private tour to see the real Crete, you won't regret it.T4906JYcarlaw

We visited Greece in 2019 and one of our stops was Crete island. We stayed there 2 nights thus we had limited time to explore the island. We purchased a private tour to Knossos and the cave of Zeus. Apart from this, our private guide Manol fully personalized our experience with extra itinenaries. We visited a beautiful plateau, met with amazing locals and tasted local cuisine. The nature was majestic in October. The service was top! We highly recommend for any traveler who wish to explore Crete in one day privately!Kwstas_Stm0

We visited Crete on October 2019 for the first time and we wanted to experience something really special with most important highlights. We took the private tour VIP Cave of Zeus & Knossos Palace Chauffeur-Driven Private Tour with Maniolis. All in all the service was highly VIP and the programm was as we expected; interesting, personalized and most importantly far away from mass tourism masses!! We had the chance to add many details of our interest, such as traditional villages, nature and authentic lunch in the mountains. Everything was tailor-made as we wanted! Thank for everything!! Highly recommended!!!peakytravelerr

What an amazing holiday experience in Crete. Having escaped form the madness of the City of London, this destination was unique for me and my fiancee in order to recharge our batteries in VIP conforts. We spent a week in Crete Island and experienced great times at the beautiful beaches, incredible restaurants and posh clubs. All booked by Snami Travel. However, the one that we will never forget is the VIP Tour around the landmarks of Crete. It contained everything (From luxury & VIP treatment To education about Greek mythology. btw I did not know that Zeus was born in Crete, I thought he was from Olympus). Pinnacle of the tour was the elderly man next to Kera church serving Cretan traditional drinks (raki) and food for free. What a hospitable Island, what amazing hosts! In conclusion, I highly recommend this VIP tour as the people of Snami Travel did an amazing job and most prominently they showed professionalism.Jonathan_Scul
