What people love about Crete Tours
- The Labyrinth of Crete
Very good tour. Accommodation and day tours were great. The major problem were the transfers. Dropped off on the side of the road and told to walk approximately 500 metres to the hotel with no directions, the tour pick-up point was a 10 minute walk from the hotel and finally after waiting for our airport transfer for over an hour at the designated pick-up location had to organise a taxi ourselves. We were refunded the allocated transfer amount not the actual cost of the taxi so out of pocket as well.

Most of this trip worked well but it was difficult not to have contact numbers for the operators of each of the day tours. The transport for our final day, to a water park, did not come and Tour Rader has not replied to me about that. The trips to Spinalonga and Heraklion / Knossos were good with the same excellent guide. The trip to Chania was too long, we didn't get back to our hotel until after 9pm. The land-rover Safari was a most enjoyable day in the mountains with lots of interesting stops even though Zeus's Cave is closed. The all inclusive hotel was fit for purpose. Altogether a well priced trip.

Great experience. Team was always available to answer my questions or concerns. Enjoyed my stay in Crete and last minute I asked them to extend my day at the Hotel and change air tickets. All was done within 2 hours and they paid to secure booking before collecting payment from me. Will be back next year but Dot Travel will be top of my list. Thank you Team,your wonderful support made my tour memorable. Lots of Love Mark

"Overall, Mrs Shimizu and I were very pleased with the experiences we had in Crete because of your arrangements. Also I want to thank you for accommodating me with rearranging shuttle service for me because of my delayed flight. There are three issues however that while not major would have made the activities schedule seamless. 1. It would have been nice to have a live personal contact or at least a phone call from a representative from TourRadar to ask if there were any last minute questions or concerns we may have had. 2. We should have had contact information in the event issues arose for all tour aoperators
