Every single year we book our holidays with Platanos tours.That is ferries or planes from Crete to Athens and then our flights from Athens to Asia or USA. Always at the best fares and most convenient times.The ladies that work there are really helpful and patient and search very thoroughly for the best possible deals.We trust them 100% for years now.We have never been disappointed ,they have also answered our calls or messages and solved issues for us ,even on bank holidays, when they were off work !!!👍Thank you 😍

Maria ist ein toller und sehr fürsorglicher Guide. Wir hatte die Tagestour ursprünglich an einem Dienstag gebucht, wurden abgeholt und erfuhren auf der Anfahrt, dass die Schlucht aus Wettergründen an diesem Tag gesperrt wurde. Der Veranstalter fuhr uns zum Abholpunkt zurück und wir konnten problemlos umbuchen und die Tour zwei Tage später machen. Dank auch an Dominik vom Kundentelefon von get-your-guide! Die Wanderung ist anspruchsvoll, lohnt sich aber sehr!

Ο Λεωνιδας εξαιρετικός ξεναγός και πάρα πολύ βοηθητικός. Υπέροχο μέρος αξίζει πάρα πολύ . Το γραφείο δεν είναι και πολύ εξυπηρετικό δηλαδή έπρεπε να πάω μισή ώρα με το αμάξι για την παραλαβή ενώ το λεωφορείο περνούσε μπροστά απο το σπίτι μου. Έστειλα email καμμία απάντηση. Επισης στην τιμή δεν έχουν βάλει το εισιτήριο εισόδου ούτε το καράβι μετά αλλά φυσικά δεν αναγράφεται πουθενά και πρέπει να έχεις 24€ μετρητά μαζί σου.

Alles war gut organisiert und wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt und zurück gebracht. Der Guide hat gut aufgepasst und alle sicher durch die Schlucht gebracht.

This was a wonderful experience. Platanos Tours provided an excellent private chauffeur and tour of Knossos from our hotel in Chania. They even accommodated a last-minute request to visit a winery on our way back to Chania. One of the highlights was our driver John (Giannas). Not only was his driving exceptional and safe, but he was also friendly and great to talk with. He made our day even more enjoyable and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Platanos Tours, do not hesitate to book a tour with them!

Amazing tour. We stopped at an olive grove and tasted the best olive oil I’ve ever had. Then we went to a Cretan vineyard and the wine and food were delicious. Our driver John was delightful and we would love to book with him again!

I had an amazing time during my day trip to Elafonisi. I got picked up on time, the rides were very safe, I learned a lot about cretan history. The places we were shown were absolutely beautiful and we got back on time. If I would have had a day longer I would have booked the same tour again!

This was an incredible experience. The gorge was breathtakingly beautiful from start to finish. Very well organised, our guide Dimitrios was fantastic, answered all questions and super friendly & knowledgeable. We walked at our own pace, had a late lunch in a lovely authentic restaurant near the port, swam in the sea then met Dimitrios by the ferry for out trip back to the bus- the ferry trip was absolutely beautiful & a perfect relaxing end to our day. Definitely wear trainers with good grip/walking boots. We were picked up at 5:15 and back at 10:15pm- despite the early start & few hrs on the bus it went quick enough as stopped briefly twice to get food etc and had a sleep. There was another British group but most were German. I think if you were a solo Brit and wanting to meet new people/to walk with it may have been tricky, or walk with our guide who was great company & had a good sense of humour. I cannot recommend highly enough, memories for a lifetime. My sister also had a fantastic time!
