South coast of Crete 4x4 trip - We had a terrific day on our trip to the south coast of Crete. We were picked up on time, and Johannes, our guide and driver, provided non-stop information, stories, and jokes for the entire day. Our fellow adventurers in the jeep were great fun, and it was a memorable journey!

A day to remember. - Fabulous tour, beginning with a sighting of vultures over a beautiful gorge, tasting local produce (us, not the vultures), swimming on a magical beach, and a too short visit to Spili with it's wonderful lions head fountains. A brilliant knowledgeable guide in Ruud. Altogether a great day out.

Best day out filled with many fun opportunities. Thanks Nikos! - We would say this is one of the best excursions we've been on. Super informative and fun! We had Nikos as our guide and he was fantastic t telling u the history of the island and answering ll of our questions. It was fun and easy! Plenty of stops to have a break for a drink and photo opportunities We saw so many things en route: gorges, lakes, mountains, farm animals, wild animals, vultures, beautiful beaches, local plants (herbs and olive trees etc). You also get the opportunity to try some of the local food produce! Absolutely delicious Towards the end we stopped at a beautiful beach for over an hour for a chance to swim and then had an amazing fresh meal with the rest of the group (8 of us). This also included drinks such as wine and raki. Had a real intimate feel to it. 100% worth the money Comfortable transport in a Mercedes vito with air con Fun for all ages!
