5.00My sister and I booked this on a whim and weren’t really sure what to expect. Best decision of our holiday. Our guide Alex was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and we learnt so much about this beautiful island. The views were amazing with a surprise around every hairpin bend. Lunch in the beautiful taverna was delicious and substantial. Would definitely book again.
Super nice day

5.00This trip was just amazing! Andreas was the best daddy for our little one-day family<3 Amazing views, wonderful experience, a lot of memories and moments to catch forever. Thanks to Andrea’s it was much more than just a fantastic day- he told us a lot about the island, everyday life of Greeks, showed us how to pill off the pomegranate and made us feel very special:) He has promised us that it will be the best day of our Greek holidays and it was indeed! <3

5.00This was our first trip with go crete (but not our first jeep safari) & in future I will only use them!! Despite some rather demanding German tourists (" we paid to sit together "-really?) Our drivers skillfully handled things & off we went. There were 2 jeeps that day but on a busy day can be up to 12! First stop-Minoan Farm to try the usual (olive oil,honey, raki @ 9.30 am!) & the unusual-seeing a working beehive. Next it was off to the hills & after a stop at a small taverna it was an hour or so walking round a mountain village & down to Trypiti gorge to see a hillside church carved into the rockface (with hand tools going by the marks in the rock) fed some goats,through the gorge & onto a gorgeous beach for a swim! Lunch, which was just as gorgeous was followed by a visit to a monastery high up in the hills. The whole day was very different as we were staying in the North of the island & got to see the middle & south (which you usually don't!) Our drivers were engaging & knowledgeable & really made the day! Book with confidence any safari you're thinking about! Recommended!
