Had a great time with our driver/guide, Dimitris for the day. He stopped at different places along the way to Elefonissi Beach which he thought would interest us, and it did! Instead of bringing us to a village for lunch as per the itinerary, he brought us to a restaurant that the locals use and the meal was great! The ancient olive tree was phenomenal too. Thank you, Nikos, for arranging this!

We had an amazing time our driver stavros was so kind and knowledgeable of Crete. The beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen.
The price was affordable, the driver was skilled at driving, knowledgeable about Crete, and very personable and friendly. His name is Demetrius.
Fabulous trip to Elafonissi Beach on a very windy day but pick up was on time, vehicles were top notch and drivers were friendly and informative. We changed the order and this was not a problem. The cave and monastary were lovely and interesting to see. The lunch stop (a late lunch) was in a lovely taverna with plenty of choice, including gluten free options, and very reasonable. The whole day was perfect and not rushed at all and very good value for money.
Driver prompt and acquiesced to our wishes. So glad I did not drive.
Our tour guide Dimitri was the best, not only did he tell us the history of Crete but he also provided us water bottles and some homemade bread/cheese delicacy. It was well appreciated. Thank you
The beach was amazing. Crowded during summer months, but still crystal clear waters with massive expanses of knee deep water or swimming deep water. Very little shade on the beach unless you rent or buy an umbrella, but we had plenty of breeze so it felt fine during our visit. Our driver, Nikos, was engaging during the whole drive and provided a lot of detailed history about the area. Nikos took us to a local restaurant and helped us order traditional, locally sourced dishes. It was fabulous. The monastery was tiny but worth the visit. We were thrilled with the whole experience.
A perfect way to see a variety of sites. Our driver Nikolas was amazing his knowledge of crete was impressive
Dimitris, our tour guide, was so humble, knowledgeable and kind! We wanted to start the trip at 8am and go straight to Elafonissi beach and skip the other two stops, so that we had more time at the beach. Dimitris made that happen and we had the perfect time at Elafonissi. He even gave us water bottles and some delicious Greek snacks for our stay at the beach. So, we are very grateful for Dimitris! Finally, we would recommend anyone who is going to Elafonissi to leave at 8am that way you secure an umbrella at the beach- 20 euros per person and start enjoying the beach before the crows arrive. Even when the crowds arrive, you will still enjoy it because it is so big.
Great day out with Nikos! He tailored the day to what we wanted- a drive through the beautiful mountains of Crete to the pink sand beach, where we spent a couple of hours enjoying the sun. We then went to a lovely lunch at his favorite restaurant which was fabulous. Back to the cruise terminal in plenty of time, even with a stop for olive oil! Nikos was knowledgeable about Crete and very friendly to talk with. Highly recommend this tour company!
I recommend the transfer services. Nicos and Dimitris were of great help during the entire vacation! they guided us, recommended places and were very helpful!
Our tour guide Nikos was excellent. Very personable and easy going. He had a lot of information to share and was an excellent driver. Lots of photo opportunities and the beach is gorgeous. Would definitely recommend this tour!
I booked Nikos Tours initially for the airport transfer of my family of 5 to our Hotel. As our flight was arriving at 11pm we were quite nervous to be advised that our flight was delayed by over an hour, but when we finally arrived the driver (Manos) was thankfully waiting. He was courteous and guided us to the vehicle and dropped us to the hotel with no issues. We then booked an excursion and transfer back to the Airport with Nikos Tours, the driver (Dimitri) arrived on time and was polite, informative and accommodating and the whole experience was excellent. I felt both were safe drivers and the vehicles clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
The view was amazing in Elafonissi, highly recommend. The guys was amazing and the trip was very smooth. We had lot informative on places where else to go and what restaurants to visit , give 10 starts .
Extremely reliable company who were very punctual with nice vehicles and friendly drivers. Their prices were good too!
The Best! We took airport transfers, Elafonisi day tour, Sunset in Falassarna and Balos. Nikos provided an exceptional experience. He is very kind, explains a lot re beautiful greece, and professional. He is always punctual and his car is always clean. I highly recommend Nikos Tours for a personalized and memorable holiday.
