Unforgettable! - Our guide Manos was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, sharing many stories about the region both from history and his own experience of living here. He has a deep appreciation for nature, as do we, and went above and beyond to share that appreciation with us. He stopped several times to teach us about the native plants, took us to a local taverna for coffee with the locals, and helped us see the real Crete outside of the tourist centers. We were the only people inside the cave which really enhanced the experience. When we stopped for lunch, the village was preparing for a wedding and we were given the traditional Gamokoulouro, a special bread made for weddings. We were also given some of the lamb being prepared. The food was amazing and we ate until we couldn’t take another bite. Manos was awesome with our 10 year old and made the trip so special. He wasn’t worried about timing, but more in making the experience the best it could be. In our son’s words “if there was a 10 star option, I’d do 15!” Thank you Manos!

Amazing views of mountains in Crete - Had a great day through the mountains and caves with my 13 year old son. We had the best tour guide Manos, he was amazing with loads of information about the parts we went through, took the time to stop and get different types of herbs and plants to show us the different things that grow in Crete, was such a great tour guide made the trip fun. Lovely place in the morning for coffee and drinks, then for lunch went to an amazing local place with lovely food, such a great full day out. 100% recommend this trip. 10 out of 10

Psiloritis Mountain and Sfendoni Cave 4x4 Cretan Villages Tour and Sarakina Gorge - We did two trips and both drivers/ guides were brilliant.
Very informative and knowledgeable about the area and took us to some fantastic viewpoints.
Highly recommend these guys, two fantastic days.
A special thankyou to Marios and Demitri for two brilliant days.
The second trip was to Sarakina Gorge which was also stunning and both places definitely worth the visit.
If you're not stable on your feet though don't do this one.
