We would appreciate your review
We had a lovely time on our South Crete Hilights tour as part of our honeymoon in Greece! From the van ride itself, to our guide, to the experiences & locations themselves. Everywhere we saw was absolutely beautiful. We loved walking through the Preveli Palm Forest and swimming in the beautiful blue waters nearby. We enjoyed the history of the monastery, the amazing formations at Triopetra Beach, and seeing beautiful Spili village. Our traditional lunch was incredible and we were able to have Greek coffee at a long standing cafe. Thank you Way To Crete for enabling us to see & enjoy so many incredible sights during our time in Crete with an amazing, personable, well informed tour guide.
We did the “Taste of Crete” tour with Ernest on 02.09.2025. Absolutely recommend! Why? - Tour guide Ernest led the tour with great passion. You can feel how he loves nature and culture and passes it on to his guests - no mass tourism: you experience small manufactories, the real life in Crete - Value for money is unbeatable Looking forward to the next Crete holiday and will surely book a tour with Ernest of Waytocrete again
It was a wonderful and beautiful experience to walk through the old town of Rethymno with Ernest, learning about the historical background, talking about the present, and having a photo shoot in a very relaxed atmosphere with stunning backdrops. A truly beautiful and unforgettable experience – highly recommended
I was in Spili for two weeks and went on several excursions with Ernesto and his team. I was extremely impressed with their levels of service, professionalism and care. Ernesto is a great guy and tailored excursions to fit with the intricacies of our group (we had a combination of elderly people, babies and toddlers as well as my wife and I). They truly went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Ernesto and his team to anyone looking to see Crete and all the beautiful places it has to offer. If you're thinking of booking with these guys, you won't regret it!
We had the pleasure of having Ernest as our tour guide, and he truly made our experience unforgettable. Ernest was incredibly generous and friendly, making us feel welcomed and comfortable from the start. His knowledge and passion shone through during our visits to both the olive oil factory and the honey factory. Ernest provided insightful information and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. Highly recommend Ernest for an exceptional tour experience!
This organization is a rare find. Ernest the leader and tour guide gave us an unforgettable day in Crete - easily our favorite tour. Not only did we experience a pottery workshop, a monastery visit, a visit to the breathtaking Prevail beach, and a scrumptious Greek meal... we also had a caring guide who watched our belongings, gave us copious amounts of water, and shared information about Crete throughout the drive. I will recommend Way To Crete to any friends going to Crete.
