Gorge-ous!!! - Samaria Gorge is Beautiful and we had a great experience. The hike is no walk in the park, it is extremely challenging. Still sore 3 days later. Happy to have done it, feel extremely accomplished, but oww, oww!! Our guide Athena was Wonderful.

Awesome Gorge - exhausting collection drive - The gorge itself is spectacular and even if the hike is exausting the views are more than wort tue effort.
The only sad thing was that the bus was pretty warm and the last Part from heraklion to malia tskes your forever because even if it says it just stops on the Main street you are driving to a lot of hotels in tiny streets where the bus nearly doesn't fit so it takes you forever.
Would be better a tiny bus collects them before and they also enter at the mainstreet as discribed

Last minute cancellation by the operator. - Tour Line the operator that Viator is agent for, cancelled 10 hours prior. " overbooked" was the reason. 5 people had been overbooked.
If they had mentioned sooner, and they were aware:" we called at the last minute just in case" I might have been able to arrange alternative solution.
Not a good experience
