Great Orientation Tour With A Wonderful Guide

We were staying outside the Heraklion area, so we met up with our guide - Marinos - at a place in the city where we were able to leave our car for the day. We then picked up two other couples and started the tour. I should point out that the weather was absolutely horrendous - rain, clouds and lots of wind. So it wasn't possible to fully enjoy the scenery as we drove up into the mountains, but Marinos was very engaging, entertaining and informative all day long, providing lots of information about points of interest, Crete and the various places we were visiting. One of the highlights for us was the stop we made in a small village, where the owner made us mountain tea in her cozy cafe. The weather didn't cooperate at all while we were at the Lasithi Plateau. So Marinos had to improvise a bit and took us to a small cheese shop so we could see how the cheese was being made (They were washing the cheese wheels with a power washer!), and also to another place where they were making pottery. It's unfortunate that the weather was so bad, but we were able to make the best of it, thanks for Marinos. The final stop of the day was Knossos. The six people on the tour split the cost of private guide at Knossos. I definitely recommend doing that (as opposed to wandering around aimlessly or getting an audio guide. All in all, it was a great way to get oriented to Crete (it was our first day), and Marinos was filled with useful information and tips that we made the most of during the rest of the trip. Oh, almost forgot to mention that the Zeus Cave is currently closed. So going in is not an option. There is a path up to the cave from the parking area, where there is apparently a great view of the Plateau, but because the weather was so bad, we opted to have a tea and some cheese pies (which were great) in the cafe near the trail.
Incredible guide in Heraklion

Nickolas was a terrific guide. He picked us up on time in a Mercedes van. He was flexible, friendly and very knowledgeable about Heraklion and took us to some beautiful places on the island. We had lunch in the mountains at a restaurant owned by friends of his. The food was fresh and delicious- best Greek salad I’ve ever had - and the location was peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend him.
Best tour of Crete

Wow! Marinos showed us the best of Crete on this tour. This ended up being a private tour for us, which was incredible. We moved at our own pace and Marinos was there the entire time and available when we were ready to go. We started at the Palace of Knossos, then toured the Olive Press. The press was not operational due to the time of year, but was still a highlight for me. we traveled many small villages and saw cheese and yogurt being made. We stopped at the Lasithi Plateau to take in the expansive views of Crete. We were unable to visit the cave of Zeus due to construction. We visited a monastery, too. Overall, this tour was a highlight from our trip to Greece and Marinos was the best guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Marinos is from the area and it shows, he was able to take us to the local spots. Had a great time experiencing Crete like a local.
Unforgettable Tour with Nikos – A Must-Book Experience!

We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Nikos, and it was truly one of the highlights of our time in Crete. From the very beginning, Nikos brought a personal touch and a depth of knowledge that made every stop on our journey—from the olive oil factory to the stunning Lasithi Plateau and the legendary ruins of Knossos—come alive with history and heart. Nikos clearly loves what he does, and it shows. Everywhere we went, he was greeted like family and made sure we received VIP treatment. The experience felt tailored just for us—from the behind-the-scenes access to thoughtful touches like his homemade cookies (which were delicious, by the way). If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the guidebook and connects you with the true spirit of Crete, we can’t recommend Unique Tours—and especially Nikos—enough.
