Vive Tours a pie en lo mejor de
Heraklion con Withlocals

"Had a great time with Alex, trying some of his favourite foods (and beverages!) in some of his favourite places. He had no problem customising his tour for coeliacs, and we never felt we missed out. We also got to try some of his own wine, which was a bonus."

"Eleni is a great guide, and a local who knows the history of the place. We really enjoyed our day and would 100% recommend! "

"We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by Eleni during our stay on the beautiful island of Crete, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional guide in every sense. Eleni combines a wonderfully warm and sympathetic personality with a high level of professionalism. Her academic background in history and archaeology, together with her deep roots on the island, makes her insights both authentic and profoundly enriching. She brings Crete’s past to life in a way that is both engaging and intellectually rewarding. What truly sets her apart is her ability to connect cultures. With a cosmopolitan outlook and fluency in multiple languages, including English, Italian, and Spanish, she communicates effortlessly and adapts naturally to her guests. Her knowledge of the island is outstanding — from Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos to the wider Minoan world and lesser-known sites across Crete. Every excursion felt thoughtfully curated and deeply informative. With Eleni, you are not just visiting Crete — you are truly understanding it. One can place complete trust in her guidance, and it is difficult to imagine a better companion for discovering the island. Highly recommended. "

"Marina was our guide. She was so sweet and knowledgeable. She interacted so well with the whole group. It was fun tasting some specialties of Crete. There was way more food than we could eat! It was well worth the price we paid. We’d choose this again!"

"Alex was great! He was so personable. The food was amazing. We totally enjoyed it. I highly recommend him. We felt like we were with a friend. "

"Eftihia's knowledge of where to go and what to eat in Heraklion, to understand the culture of the city through food and drink, is unparalleled. Meeting market vendors selling local cacao, salt, and honey products (which we're slowly getting through at home), gorging ourselves on pastries, eating local delicacies at the taverna, and finishing off with some lava desserts, we rolled ourselves home and still had leftovers to nosh on the next day. Thank you Eftihia, we had such a wonderful time with you!"

"Eleni was great! Super sweet and very knowledgeable. One of the groups favorite activities we did!!"

"An experience without guessing as a traveler for the first time what to see or do. Alex lead us through second guessing or trial and error to have fun."

"Alex was an excellent host. Funny and entertaining. The food tastings he chose for us were nothing short of fabulous. We definitely did not walk away hungry."
