Welcome to Crete. My name is Ed and I am proud to say that Crete is my home and I would like to take you on a private tour to show you the real side of Crete and learn about local life and traditions. I have been working in the tourist industry, for the last 23 years. I have had the pleasure of meeting and befriending people from all over the world. As a private tour leader I show my passion for my beautiful Island. I am naturally friendly with an outgoing personality and my aim is to make your experience as enjoyable, informative and most importantly as fun as possible. I enjoy sharing information of the local culture, values and traditions when taking groups of tourists to different attractions and archeological sites. I would be more than happy to share with you my knowledge and local experiences to make you feel like a local for a day. Crete has so many areas of unspoilt natural beauty, which can be better appreciated and explored when being shown around by a local resident. Crete is famous for its hospitality so why not enjoy some Cretan experiences, local traditions and cuisine in beautiful surrounding with me. If you want a personalised tour, different from the ones offered, please just ask. Together we will create the perfect trip tailored to your wishes. I'm at your disposal also for multi day tours. Licensed from the Greek Ministry of Tourism MHTE= 1039e60000326201 I have over 23years experience in the tourist industry. I am a tour leader and tour agency owner so I have different vehicles and organize private tours all over Crete. My strengths are communication skills in many languages, my passion for Crete and my abilty to put people at easy. My goal is to provide my clients with the very best Cretan experience. I want us to meet as guests but leave as friends. I don’t sell tours …. I sell experiences ………and create memories.
