1.00We were unable to make this tour because the wrong port was booked . The ports in Crete are far apart, so be careful when making your reservations. Please know what port you’re traveling into when you’re making your reservations. More clarity on behalf of the tour company would’ve been helpful.

5.00This was by far, one of the best activities and tours we have done and a great way to see the more mountainous side of Greece. It’s a family business and you can tell the people that work there all have a great time. Mike was our guide, and he made the whole day so fun, high energy, and informative along the way. I am so glad we did this tour and will recommend this tour / company to anyone who comes to visit Crete! Thank you, Mike, for making our day so memorable!

4.00It was a fun day with many interesting stops. One knock was the 4wd portion in which our driver drove un-necessarily fast up a very rough portion of the road. He hurt one of our group’s back. It was otherwise a lovely day.
