Grand Off-Road Adventure with Saki - We had a great day with Saki.
We were picked up in the morning with the Land Rover and were lucky to experience the tour in a slightly smaller round. Saki the day has made a real experience with his humorous and warm manner. In addition to such great weather at the end of October, gave us a perfect day. Thank you very much to Saki. With you we would go again anytime!
Greetings from Lena and Jan

Crete from the perspective of a local - Geoff was an excellent guide! He took us to “real” Crete- beautiful coasts, mountains, villages. We hung with goats on the mountain, learned about olive trees and oil, tasted the olive oil, had goat cheese wa delicious lunch. His passion for Crete and its people is very evident!
Highly recommend. Some rough roads. Vehicle holds 6-8 but if tall/big guys- suggest max of 6.

Amazing Safari Adventure – A Different Side of Crete! - If you want to see a side of Crete you’d never experience during a typical beach holiday, this safari tour is an absolute must! We got to explore hidden places and breathtaking landscapes that truly show how diverse and beautiful Crete is.
One of the highlights was definitely the stunning palm forest of Preveli – a real paradise! The tour was very well organized from start to finish. We were treated to delicious local food and had the best driver and guide, Giorgos, who kept us entertained the entire day and shared so many interesting facts about the island.
An unforgettable experience – highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover the authentic and wild beauty of Crete!

A day we won’t forget - We had a fantastic day, learnt so much and was lovely to see the ‘real’ Crete. Darrel, our driver and guide, was so knowledgeable, humorous and a real pleasure to spend the day with.

Entertaining, typical of the country, informative—just top! - From the organization to the tour, just successful. A tour in the desired language (here: German) with insights into the culture, landscape and places worth seeing, hidden and typical of Crete. Always entertaining and informative accompanied by our outstanding guide Thomas. It was fun, culinary top and highly recommended. Thanks, Thomas. We would always book a tour with you again. Stay the way you are! Thanks says Doreen from Magdeburg

We'll be back! - Very nice experience!
1 day with Antonis as a guide across Crete- wonderful impressions of places we certainly would not have chosen or visited on our own. All very authentic and decidedly friendly. The food in the restaurant was extensive and very delicious!
We are happy to have made this trip! Thank you so much!
