A very nice safari tour - We are leading this tour yesterday with our guide Kostas and we really liked it. We have seen a lot but also learned a lot about the country and people. Would do it again anytime.

An off road trip that is absolutely worth it - fun, informative and much more - My daughter and I were picked up on time by our driver Nikos at our hotel. After a short briefing we got in the jeep, in total we were 8 people plus driver. The first stop was at Lake Kournas, Nikos told a lot of interesting things about the lake and surroundings and answered any question gladly. Nikos also talked a lot about the landscape and people on the way to the next stop. When the ride went up into the mountains, past goats and sheep, you are quite shaken up, but rewarded with a fantastic view. Arriving in the south you have time to swim in the sea and you get a very good lunch before the ride starts again. We can highly recommend this tour, it is really worth it.

A Crete Sampler! - I was skeptical that this tour could live up to the rave reviews it has been given, but I can report back that it most certainly does! What was great about this tour is that in the course of a day you get a good overview of Crete, not only the terrain and the sites, but the tastes and the flavors. We saw a lake, waterfall, sea (and swam in it!), mountains, orchards, and rugged terrain. We sampled wine, raki, tea, olive oil, honey, and local herbs. Our driver and guide Kostas did a fantastic job of pointing out the sites and giving us information about the area. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking to get out and see a nice variety of Cretan sites. The only caution I would give is that is that part of the tour goes off road and can be pretty bumpy and in some places you are on dirt roads that are next to steep drops. The path is plenty wide for the Jeeps and I felt completely safe, though. Even my wife, who can be a nervous passenger, was able to handle it and she, too, loved the tour. Booking and changing our tour date was super easy via the Viator app and communication with the tour company was also excellent. Go do it!

A safari tour of a class! - A highlight of our family holiday was the safari tour with Nikos. We were greeted very friendly and thoroughly educated throughout the day about all sights and cultural features. Thanks to our small group of 7 people, Nikos allowed us to stop individually to take photos/videos or to answer all questions in peace. We were all very enthusiastic and can highly recommend this tour to everyone! A big thank you to Nikos, who speaks excellent German and is super humorous.

Not to be missed! - An excellent day out! Our guide, Nikos, was amazing! We were picked up exactly on time from Chania, and were warmly greeted at the departure point in Georgioupolis. Nikos was super friendly and attentive throughout the whole day, and very happy to share his knowledge with his guests, and always ready to crack a joke and make the group laugh! He stopped us at some wonderful spots and you can really feel his true passion and love for his island! The day drew to a close on the opposite side of Crete at a gorgeous beach for a while to swim and take in the scenery followed by a very good Cretan lunch! My ONLY criticism would be the vehicles. If you are sat at the back, it is quite difficult to see outside properly while you're driving, and feel they should be more open-top. Saying that, Nikos did invite the group to move seats throughout the day for everyone to have a better seating spot, which was much appreciated! VERY highly recommended!

An unforgettable safari tour in Crete! 🌿🐚☀️ - An unforgettable safari tour in Crete! 🌿🐚☀️ We had the most amazing safari tour today with our driver, Nektarios — such a kind, knowledgeable, and fun person! He took us to the most beautiful spots, including a stunning beach for a swim, and an olive oil factory where we tasted olive oil, olives, and honey. The day started with a tasting hosted by Nik, who welcomed us with tea, raki, raki with honey, olive oil with bread, sea salt, and gorgeous herbs. Nik was so friendly, and I even bought some olive oil and honey to take home. I snapped a photo of him posing like Salt Bae… but he’s definitely Herb Bae! 😂 We sang ABBA hits in the car, learned so much about the history and nature of Crete, and just had a full day of laughter and joy. Thank you so much, Nektarios, for your kindness, knowledge, and happy vibes — you made our tour unforgettable! ❤️

Super tour with great guide (Nikos) - We had an unforgettable safari in Crete! The tour was perfectly organized, varied & offered fantastic views that you would never have found on your own. Our guide (Nikos) was super friendly, humorous & told us a lot about the island. We especially liked the small stops in the mountains & the delicious traditional food. Overall, we were super satisfied & can only warmly recommend the safari – a real highlight of our holiday! 🌞🚙🇬🇷
