5.00The pace was perfect ...exciting and adventurous, but with enough time to enjoy the scenery. The included lunch was fresh and delicious, giving us a real taste of local Crete. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Heraklion who wants a mix of adventure, nature, and local culture. A must-do activity!

1.00This company is not very courteous of your time if you’re on a cruise ship. Way too many unnecessary stops. If you’re on a cruise ship, do not book this tour. We almost missed the last bus to the ship barely making it back to port by 4pm. Too risky and not worth the hassle. If you’re on Norwegian like we were do not book this tour. You will be filthy during this “safari” wear long sleeves, bring a mask for your face and a scarf for your hair. We did make several stops to cool off and wash our hands just to get right back in the dirt. We stopped for lunch right before the beach which was a bad idea, we were sitting inside a restaurant for lunch and we were covered in dirt. It would have been much better if we’d stopped at the beach before sitting down for lunch. Horrible experience so buyer beware.
Great safari around Crete.

5.00This trip was great! The guys at the site were very informative on how to ride and what to expect. The ride itself was spectacular and dusty, bring a mask or buy one of their masks great price at $4.50 euro. The ride started at the bottom of a valley and the first stop was a very cool surprise. Second was a great view, third was small town where you could get snacks. Here was our incredible part. We had a breakdown of our bike but the quickly brought us a new one, our guide brought us off the mountain very quickly which we absolutely loved. The lunch provided was spectacular and the beach stop was a great time to rinse off. I would do this trip with these guys again! Thank you!!
Can’t wait to come back to Crete!

4.00Excellent tour with very informative operators and we saw so much! The only downside was that at pickup, we waited in a hot van for 35 minutes+ on another group that had booked this tour and never showed up. We didn’t really know what was going on or what we were waiting on because the driver was outside the van walking around talking on his cell phone trying to coordinate the lost group I assume. The tour company ended up going back to get the people later and them joining the tour late but it was nerve wracking for us who were on time because we had time sensitive plans following this tour and we were concerned it would run late or we would be cut short on time from all the waiting. It did run later than the 5 hours we anticipated from pickup because they gave us the full tour still but we were stressed getting back after the tour. All in all, highly recommend and would use them again, just plan for some cushion timing wise!
