    Alex was a lot of fun to tour Heraklion with, a very friendly and outgoing guy. We did the tour in January, got lucky with the weather and had a great time. We ended the tour at a very nice restaurant with him for a great meal that was included in the price. We ended feeling like we had made some new friends that we'd want to see again. Definitely a highlight of our week long stay in Crete.

    A very pleasant stroll through the alleys of the center of Heraklion with stops and free visits to the most important monuments. Alex is on top! He is full of small historical or contemporary details. The small tasting meal is a delight. Alex told us a lot about life in Crete which allowed us to immerse ourselves. A great addition to our trip.

    We rode eco-bikes (like a scooter) to get to know Heraklion. The bikes were fun to be on and made the day more enjoyable (as we hadn’t ridden an electric scooter/bike before). We went on some bike trails as well as through public shopping places. We learned about the Venetian wall and went in to two churches. We enjoyed a coffee break and a lunch break. We had a great time!
