I'm Georgios L., your private tour guide in Chania

Guide #37573

Hello! I am from Chania and have a passion about history, culture and all things alike, from architecture to dances, language and food. As an extension of this passion, I love traveling, and think that getting to know a place's history and its people is what makes each trip a unique experience! One of the things I like most about being a guide is having the chance to meet and interact with other travelers from all over the world at my home town, and help them discover the city and its surroundings in ways that even locals don't know! Chania is a great place to get started, as here you can find monuments from all kinds of eras and rulers that passed through Crete, from Minoan and Mycenean to Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Venetian and Ottoman. Another advantage Chania has in relation to the rest of Crete is its natural beauties (among which 42 gorges and 20 peaks above 2, 000 m), which never cease to amaze and offer something new at every corner! My experience as a guide is mostly related to city tours, but I can also organize half or full day tours in the beautiful countryside of Chania. In any case, I can customize my tours according to your requests and interests. Join me and enjoy a unique insight to Cretan culture and history! - PhD in History (specializing in Cretan history) - MA in International Relations - First Degree on Turkish Studies - Driving license -Due to government regulations, I will not able to guide you inside official archeological sites.

    Georgios was the perfect guide. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He answered all questions and had a good sense of humor. He set a nice, easy walking pace and not only took us to the major historical sites, but took us to a pleasant coffee cafe that overlooked the bay and above the crowd of the harbor front. We highly recommend him.

    We had an excellent tour of the Apokoronas Villages from Chania with Georgios! Georgios was a fantastic tour guide who had a wealth of knowledge about all of the areas that we visited and told us the history of Crete. He is passionate about Crete and shared that with us. We enjoyed visiting the little villages, the folk museum, and the olive oil mill. We had some...

    Georgio was amazing. He knew so much about the area. My husband has trouble walking and he helped me help him. He was so patient.. The areas he showed us weren't really the same old tourist areas. I highly recommend him
