About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- valeryx20170 contributionsGreat day tripGreat trip and friendly driver/guide. We booked last minute but Mike managed to provide all the information and offered the nearest pick-up point which was very convenient. The journey was well planned including interesting local areas, and full of fun.Written 13 October 2024
- Dreamer5806260 contributionsWe are so glad we took this tour. There is no way you can go to all the interesting places we visited by yourselves.The tour was very well organised. We were taken to the palace before the crowds got there and so we got tickets immediately. The olive factory was very interesting and then the trip up to the plateau was fun. Mike, the guide, was prompt picking us up and was full of so many interesting facts and myths. The caves were close due to construction but the tour is s still worth takingWritten 7 October 2024
- rozm6250 contributionsGreat tour of CreteMike was a very knowledgeable and entertaining driver/guide. We enjoyed our time and all the interesting details and information about Crete, Iraklio and Greek culture and history.Written 6 October 2024
- charlottedD8060CF0 contributionsThe highlight of our holiday!If I could give 6 stars I would. We have been on a lot of tours but this was THE BEST by far! We knew we wanted to do this sort of tour but none of the providers would pick us up from the area we were staying until we found Mike! Booking with him was so easy and he got back to us really quickly. He picked us up and dropped us off directly at our hotel and the whole experience was incredible. The minibus is lovely and has individual aircon controls, reading lights etc and the sights were all amazing but Mike was without a doubt the best part of the whole day. From the moment he picked us up we began learning so much - I swear the man knows everything! Even learning the process of making olive oil was exciting with Mike bringing it to life. My highlight was walking through the village of Mochos and Mike picking the fresh fruits growing all throughout the streets for us to try, including pomegranates, grapes and even walnuts! It really felt like we were locals for the day! The cave was fantastic but quite a hike so be prepared and definitely make sure you have lunch at the place you’re taken to as it was one of the nicest meals we had the entire holiday. I can’t thank Mike enough for making our trip so special and would recommend him over and over again. Thank you!Written 26 September 2024
- monakhovm0 contributionsA wonderful day in CreteWe had an incredible day out in Crete courtesy of Mike. He was a fantastic guide, is very friendly and a true expert on all things Crete - full of knowledge about the local area and Greece in general. We highly recommend stopping at the restaurant to try some Cretan cuisine!Written 12 September 2024
- Stay3223320 contributionsBest tour we ever had!!!!Mike gave us the best tour we ever had! He is a walking encyclopedia lol. His charm, Witt and compassion for his cretian heritage is beyond what we ever expected! He took us everywhere and took us to a restaurant and it was the best meal we ever had!!!! We HIGHLY recommend supporting this family owned tour! If I could give 10 stars We would….If you want the best tour of Crete, Heraklion go with Mike!Written 5 September 2024
- gregoryr1500 contributionsFun day in Greece!We had a great time on this tour especially with our tour guide MICHAIL. He made the tour fun and interesting. We learned a lot about the culture and areas we visited.Written 22 August 2024
- 123ShannaN0 contributionsGreat tourIt was a small group tour, our tour guide was knowledge and friendly. He gave us time to have coffee in a small square and linger at lunch but was also efficient at getting us to see many sites!Written 11 August 2024
- amelialR426VS0 contributionsAmazing full day tour of Crete with Mike!Mike was amazing! We ended up having a private tour and he customised it to suit the weather (heatwave!) for us. He was full of knowledge and took the time to show us around the villages as well as the olive oil factory. He recommended the most amazing restaurant as well. If I could give 10 stars I would, it was an amazing day and the perfect ending to our trip on Crete. Thanks Mike for sharing all the knowledge and facts with us, we'll be seeing you soon!Written 22 July 2024
- Matei C0 contributionsAmazing trip! Thank you, Michail!We usually choose our trips from Tripadvisor for every corner of the world we visit, and we have never been disappointed. We knew that Crete has more than just beautiful beaches, and we chose this trip to learn more about the history, culture, and civilization, both past and present. Michail, our guide, was exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. He was attentive and engaged. He continuously told us about the history of the places, geography, and ethnography. He stopped at every unique spot and made us identify with the people and their customs. The day went by incredibly fast, and we are happy to have gained so much information. Michail, you are the best guide we have met in our travels around the world. Thank you!Written 18 July 2024
- Roving140870161810 contributions10/10This trip was intended to be spent with a group but as my friend got sick and the family that was also supposed to be on the trip never showed up so it was myself and the tour guide, Mike(I know it’s not spelled like this). Firstly I would like to say cudos to the company because they knew the situation and still showed up for the tour! The owner is very passionate about his business and it really showed. Throughout the trip, I was never rushed at any of the stops I got to look around at my leisure and bottles of water were provided. Mike was a wonderful tour guide, I especially enjoyed the mythological stories that described the origin of the names of a few places and absolutely loved being able to pick and eat the local fruit and nuts. I visited during off-season so a few places were closed like the banana farm but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Would recommend taking this tour with this company specifically.Written 2 December 2023

Excellent experience of touring!
Our host, Michalis, is fully trained and has deep knowledge of Greek mythology! Although we are Greeks, our excursion was like a dive into history.
The areas we visited were unique and the programme was adapted to the needs of our children
And of course, Michalis is very careful driver!
I strongly recommend visiting Crete and choose Stamatakis Unique tours & transfer
