About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Samantha S0 contributionsSo worth it!This is your one stop shop to visit wonderful highlights of the island and Aggi was beyond amazing. She helped us plan the rest of our days here and was so helpful with all the spots for today’s tour and all the highlights for the rest of our days in Crete. I would 10000% recommend. We had a teenager and a 9 year old and all the tour was just good for us all. Our family usually avoids any long trip but this did not feel like a full day and that is saying a lot for us. Just book it.Written 22 October 2024
- Shoregirl640 contributionsMagical day with Our Cretan Local Tour GuideI can’t recommend Angie the owner of Your Cretan Local highly enough! She is a local of course and really has a way of planning a perfect day for you! The day she took us to the Kanakis Olive Mill and Dourakis winery was the best day of our already fabulous trip on this magical island. Absolutely worth every penny, you won’t be disappointed.Written 15 October 2024
- nicolaer550 contributionsRising above the best for a private day tour in the highlands around HeraklionTourism is a very competitive industry in Crete, so we did the research and succeeded in finding a guide among the best for a private day tour in the highlands around Heraklion. Angie is a very knowledgable and pleasant guide and she exceeded our expectations in every way.Written 13 October 2024
- melameddm0 contributionsAmazing day driving around CreteThe guided tour was exceptional. The guide drives you around Crete in a comfortable car, has snacks and water at hand and tells you about some of the most interesting history facts I heard about Crete and its ancient culture. I visited the island three times before, so I know a little bit myself, but I was still very impressed with some of the things I learned that day. We also tasted some of the best honey and olive oil Crete has to offer. We had a blast!Written 10 September 2024
- 454kaitlind0 contributionsIncredible local Chania experience with the amazing Aggeliki!Aggeliki was the most fun and creative tour guides we have ever had. She showed us some incredible locations (Lake Kournas where we paddle boated and saw native sea turtles, a local olive oil factory where we saw exactly how olive oil is made in this region and did a tasting, and finished with a five-wine tasting and lunch at a gorgeous winery). She took the best photos of us, and would never let us try to take selfies on our own. Now, we will always remember the great time we had through the photos she took of us. Highly recommend!Written 8 September 2024
- Frank S0 contributionsTrip to Spilli and Beach!Trip was wonderful! Maria our guide was professional and very informative! All the areas we visited were spectacular especially the beach! I would recommend this tour very highly on your trip to Crete!Written 21 August 2024
- annapierson0 contributionsAmazing experience!Our day trip to Knossos Palace and the Cave of Zeus with Angie was absolutely fantastic! She was brilliant - knowledgeable, well-organised and made the day really special for us. The day was completely tailored to our needs and nothing was too much trouble. We were provided with snacks and water throughout the day too! We learnt so much about the island, its history and culture whilst experiencing spectacular views. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Well worth the money. Thank you so much again for such a wonderful experience.Written 14 August 2024
- asdfvv0 contributionsA most wonderful day in Crete!A most wonderful day!! The itinerary organized by Angie makes for a well balanced, unique and very memorable day. The waterfall adventure and Kalypso beach are truly once in a life time experiences and the charming village stops make the perfect accessories. These locations are not that easy to reach on your own as a tourist so having a driver is very helpful. Angie is also a gem of a person- very thoughtful and great fun to talk to! She provided lots of great insights and recommendations. If you’re debating whether or not to take this tour, save yourself the trouble and just do it!Written 10 August 2024
- Jky201270500 contributionsSuperb and informative history day.A really warm welcome from Agge the minute she picked us up from the hotel. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for history was infectious. Travelling between sights she filled us with local knowledge. The lunch stop was traditional and fantastic. She pitched the day for every member of the family. Thank you Agge. 🤩Written 2 August 2024
- izea20240 contributionsGreat Guide, Great TripI don’t even know where to start. We were greeted warmly and punctually. The entire trip was perfectly tailored to us and customized. Aggeliki spoke several languages, which allowed us to have great conversations and a lot of fun together. Along the way, there were small gifts that made every moment even more special. I can only recommend it to everyone and I’m already looking forward to the next time!Written 25 July 2024
- Scenic033375862540 contributionsPerfect private group tour!This was a wonderful tour! Angie is very knowledgeable, and we had such a fun day with her as a group of young girls! Angie was very accommodating, we did not feel rushed and we had the perfect amount of time at each stop. She also took us to great places for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is considering, it was a highlight of our trip!Written 17 July 2024

- GoPlaces335982889180 contributionsAmazing olive oil and wine tasting tour by Angie!This was such a great trip! Our guide Angie was amazing! She picked us up in the morning and explained to us the plan of the day. After visiting the beautiful Kournas Lake we went to the Kanakis olive oil farm. It was so informative! We finished off at the Dourakis Winery for wine tasting. After getting the incredible tour of how they make and store wine, we had the most delicious lunch out on their patio. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much Angie for such a wonderful day!Written 24 June 2024
- lorinad4400 contributionsUNFORGETTABLE❤️❤️❤️This trip was absolutely Amazing!!!! I cannot say enough how much my family and I truly enjoyed every minute. Angie made our short time in Crete unforgettable. The day before we had a pretty rough day hiking the Samaria Gorge. We were all sore and we just needed a day to relax. My husband and I considered canceling, because we were so tired. BUT I'M SO HAPPY THAT WE DIDN'T!!! This day trip with Angie was our best day in Greece, and we spent 12 days and went to 3 islands. We made so many memories that day. As soon as I met Angie and I introduced my family, I asked if we could skip the small hike, and if we could get some coffee and have a nice breakfast. Angie truly went above and beyond to meet our needs. When we go back to Crete, we will have Angie by our side again! The breakfast, museum, the beach, lunch, the olive oil tasting, everything was gorgeous and delicious!!! Everything was so authentic from the food to the people. We shared so many laughs, learned about the island, there culture, and left Greece with a new friend 🧡. We can't wait to go back again and again!!! Please don't hesitate to go on this day trip, it will exceed your expectations and will be the highlight of your time in Greece!Written 13 June 2024
- 271alexak0 contributionsKnossos Palace - Highly Recommend!We had the most amazing time on our tour of Knossos Palace and were able to move independently throughout with our “tablet map”! Following Knossos Palace, we were able to visit Heraklion Museum which held a majority of artifacts found at Knossos Palace, making it a perfect tour combination. Throughout our tour, Aggeliki gave amazing voice overs around the history and mythology of the area - her English is flawless! Can only recommend this tour, it was very professional, efficient, and tailored to exactly what we wanted!Written 6 June 2024

Angie was one of the best travel guides I’ve had while traveling - her English is fantastic and she made the whole touring experience extremely enjoyable for both my sister and I, being able to answer all of our random questions and explain to us a lot of the history/mythology in Crete. Would highly reccommend!!!
