Stelios S

The thing that really blew me away was how on-the-ball and welcoming everyone was. The folks at Transfer In Crete totally outdid themselves, bending over backwards to adjust to a last-minute tweak in my plans. They showed me they really put customers first, all with a kind of flexibility you don't see every day. It's not often you come across a service that nails being professional while also making you feel like you're among friends.
